The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

I read the whole series, from memory, I think it. was 12 or 14 books. I read them in order, and, bought them secondhand from World of Books (excellent, free postage, and quick delivery).

Might give them a try

Sat in A & E with my Good Lady, got here about half eleven, ambulance driver driving it like he stole it on blues and twos, thats the fastest time between our house and the hospital, a lot of activity when we first arrived but for the last couple of hours we've been left alone in the cubicle, waiting for test results I think, they didn't say.

Hope your good lady is OK Just caught up on the latest posts. Best wishes to you both.

The saga of the lawnmower is over. It was the battery. Although the charger said it was fully charged, it wasn't. New battery and it started straight away. Hoorah

Did you help remove the old battery and put the new one in?

Hope that by now you know what it was that put her there, and both of you are now home.

The sudden, and frantic attention, when you arrive followed by the waiting afterwards, often with no information to be given, only helps to make any A&E visit worse. You're left wondering, and sometimes fearing the worst.

There is a list, in order, with brief description here, I have read unto book 15, so, it looks as if there are a couple of new ones for me.

@dave r I've only just caught up. I hope everything is OK. The NHS is bloody wonderful when we need them. Mrs D will be or has been in good hands. Good luck.

Well I'm 67 years old. Tonight is the first time I've heard any music by The Grateful Dead. Can you believe that? Watching a documentary on Netflix about Bob Weir. WOW! They were good! 👌

Don't be silly.

Well, he can claim all credit for getting it going again, with no help from you.

Any more thought given to the His & Hers scythes?

In our house, it doesn't work like that... my wife can always take credit for anything which works, I can always be blamed for anything that doesn't. Perfectly simple to understand and consistent, as rules should be

He is welcome to take the credit

I was looking at wireless earbuds, thinking that I might buy some after my next pension payment comes along. I watched/read a few reviews and decided on some earbuds that I liked the look of. Then I noticed that one reviewer had a 25% off code if I bought it through his link, Fair enough, Buy It Now!

I went to order it and Amazon offered me a £7 off coupon if I used the local delivery locker. Super - I had planned to do that anyway. The locker has now been set to be my primary delivery destination.

I went to apply the 25% off code - rejected.

I tried to apply the £7 off code - rejected!

Hmmph... Oh well, I wanted the earbuds anyway - my phone doesn't have a headphone socket so I want these for when I am travelling. BUY!

And then I ended up back on the product page and noticed a £10 off promotion!

YIKES... I rushed back to my orders and managed to cancel the order before they took any money off me. I then redid the order and got my £10 off.

You wait - I will probably either end up paying twice for one set of earbuds, or get two sets of earbuds but only pay once, and then have to send the second set back!

Dave.... I have hardly looked at CC for 2 days so missed this. I do hope all is well.
