The Retirement Thread

[Chislenko]

Just back from 20 mostly pleasant miles on the bike (just wish some fellow cyclists would learn a bit of etiquette on shared paths)

To add to the previous post Mrs. C and I are also "paper millionaires" but we are doing our level best to spend it before we go round the twist and get carted off!

Tomorrow we head off for a hotel break, only 20 miles from home but it will be three days of eating and drinking!

Went for a short pleasant spin, really bright out but a bit breezy im getting to really dislike riding on the A9 apart from the traffic the road surface is **** in places and on one long drag just when you want everything in your favour the uneven surface slows progress and rattles your fillings! When it isnt windy i would prefer riding the long way round to Golspie over the hills even as its 24 miles as apposed to 6 miles on the A9! I was going to the bank in Golspie but posted them a cheque and letter instead
Just looked at the south facing side of the house and theres plenty of room for a climbing rose and maybe a clematis or two

Not having soup. Now having fish finger sandwiches

Every time someone mentions fish fingers, I intend to buy some on my next shop then promptly forget again. I really enjoy them too so must get some next time.

We have and I'm having soup .........pancakes later

I have just watched a short video of a van being stolen less than a 100 yards away from my place.
Two guys rode up on a small motorbike one gets off and 13 seconds later drives it away, lucky for the owner the van was recovered some 4 miles away as it was fitted with a tracker.
Maybe we should all have trackers fitted.......except me as I haven't got a car

Eek!
Just did a few calculations and......I'm a millionaire! £££££ (on paper, at least)
I bet a good few on here don't realise their total worth.
Now....if I could only liquidise everything..mhwhaha

Could you give us your address for the begging letters, please....

After 22 years of working my private pension is £9.67 per week.....it is nearly and insult

That really IS an insult! Mine came from only 2 years contributions in the late 1980s.

One's enough for me.

Whether or not you are a millionaire depends a lot on where you live

I live in a 4 bedroom detached house with a decent sized garden and a small wood at the bottom of the garden and not overlooked by anyone

but the house is worth only about 1/4 million
Same house and location in a posh county down south could be worth 5 times as much

Same here.

Had to drop my wife off at teh hairdresser just after lunch.
Thought I had better get mine done as well - so I popped into the barber
took several minutes - my wife's took several hours

Cufusing thing is that I got the £6 OAP rate - not sure about that
a) saved money
b) deserve to save money as their just isn;t that much hair to cut!!!
c) BUT - OAP rate!!!!!!
