The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I went to the Co Op last week. Spent £35 and came away with 1 bag of stuff that wouldn't make 2 meals for us. Never again

Prices have really shot up recently and very little bargains to be had. I had a quick look at the Morrisons website to see if it would be worth going into Perth, but they didn't look much better and a lot of their ready meals.........which you know I live on , didn't get good reviews and were no cheaper. I'll stick with the devil I know.

I see another new change to the highway code will see drivers get A £2,500 fine and 3 penalty points if they don't indicate correctly even if there is no on else there. Seems to be another way of getting more money out of people.

Good luck to actually finding a police person actually patrolling that would even see it. Damned if I ever see one these days. They just seem to go for easy targets, meanwhile you can't even get them to come out for break ins and vandalism these days.

When I took my Advanced driving test I was told that I could be marked down for indicating when no-one was there to see - because it shows a lack of observation.
Of course - it is worth noting that is no-one can see then how do they know???

Like the old "if a man expresses an opinion in a forest with no-one around - is he still wrong" or something like that

On another point - up late - even for me - today.
Probably recovering from having 2 of the 3 grandkids for 2 days
i.e. the SEN one and the baby who is just starting to walk

rather exhausting - dunno how I coped as a parent - but then I didn;t know how I coped at the time and I only had 1 kid!!! (plus her Mum 0 which may have been the problem!)

Anyway - annoying thing was that I managed Wordle yesterday in 2 - but first try on line 2 was an American spelling which the dictionary said was valid but wasn;t in the word list -
My wife tried it later on yesterday and ALSO DID IT IN TWO!!!!!
she has decided that my attempt at a word not in the list means it counts as 3
funny how she gets competative at selective time!!

Yes, a forest is considered female.

I have never been in an Aldi. I went Into the Liddl a couple of times. A new Aldi opened in Newtown next door to Morrissons. I might pay a visit next time I go shopping. Anything to save a bit of money and all that

We save an absolute fortune by doing about 70% of our weekly shop in Aldi.

Shop there for a while and you will soon realise what a *iss take eg Morrisons prices are.

Just back from getting a few things just now. Even cat food has shot up drastically. Box of Whiskas was £2.75 just months ago. Now £4. That's some difference. Good job she's worth it! 🐱

That's what I say about Mrs SD's expensive 'haircuts'. 😁

Don't be stupid. No man would dare to express an oppinion even in an empty forest

Still in bed.

Not sure it is worth getting up at all as the weather is absolute cack.

Supposed to be cleaning the shower room and bath room today but cuddles and bacon buns in bed is far more appealing.

May get up eventually to finish off our binge-watch of The Great on Prime/Starzplay.
