The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

That time of year where I have to look at all my insurances is rapidly approaching. It's such an expensive time for me what with christmas, then house insurance, car insurance MOT and service, I dread it. And just the hassle of looking at quotes only to have companies constantly trying to contact me about my enquiry tends to make me really angry and I end up not being on my best behaviour to say the least.

Count to 10 and breathe....then swear at them and slam the phone down.

There’s usually a teeny, tiny extremely minute box to tick somewhere so that they don’t contact you. Probably need a magnifying glass to see it!

Sheet. Put my dog walking coat in the wash, just realised my pipe is in the pocket!

Sorry shouldn’t laugh! …..but I did. Pretty sure it will survive.

Good morning
Today is..............Aldi dash day . Just a few essentials so should be back home for 0830.
Rain forecast all day and, I think, all week.

On Wednesday we are booked in for a 'christmas' lunch and cabaret. I confess the sudden rise in this new Covid sh*t is giving me 2nd thoughts.

I shall report back later.
Stay safe peeps.

We were due to go to Trentham Gardens on Saturday to finish off the ods and sods of Xmas shopping and visit sister in law Don’t think we will bother as it likely to be extremely busy. Not worth the risk due to the increasing situation with the new variant Looks like another order to Amazon.

Good morning people, its looking like my first bimble for a fortnight will be rained off.

I had the same intention Thought sod it

Mrs Tenkaykev has just been " pinged " We've ordered a test apiece using the online ordering process which is a bit like " You have two hours to complete the form, you may turn over the paper and start now " in its convolutedness ( is that a word? )
We think it was when Mrs Tenkaykev was at the Gym on Wednesday, she left her phone in the lockers after her class, and went for a run. We're assuming that someone who later tested positive had left their phone in a locker at the same time.

Mrs p had her phone consultation re her follow up scan following her op to remov the tumour and ovaries No problems identified. They will do another scan in January.The consultant is really good She offered a face to face or phone consultation.As it was just for information mrs p didn’t see the point of going to the hospital

Rain stopped play, I got out for a little bimble this morning, I rode through a series of little short sharp showers but by the time I'd crossed Park lane into Nuthurst Lane the rain had become heavy and persistent, at that point I put on my waterproof and turned back, I rode past the Astley Book Farm and meandered back home, rode 16 miles in total and got in looking like a drowned rat, once I'd been and got our papers I fell out of my clothes and into the shower, now warm and changed into dry clothes I'm sat here with a cuppa posting on cycle chat.

I know just how you feel. I always. shop around for insurance, but, I hate the "ringing up to see if we can discuss our quote". I usually tell them "I expect you to give me your best quote, first time, if you didn't tough, you have lost my business". Sometimes, I am a little more forthright

Glad you got out though. Sure you’ll feel the better for it.

I wandered round for some shopping. I was good and didn’t buy any treats apart from some little easy peel tangerines which satisfy my sweet tooth.

A guy along the road putting a Taxx trainer into his car that he had bought from the girls along the road. Wonder if they are upgrading to something even better.
