The Retirement Thread

LBS has called, my rear wheel has been rebuilt. I'll pick it up tomorrow..

Spreading panic and alarm again, its one of three options and the least likely yet the media is highlighting it, I'm sure that without the media highlighting the worse case scenario all the time people wouldn't be worrying so much.

There's a asteroid headed our way, at over 50 times the speed of sound.

Good day. Mild, grey and breezy instead of the peeing down, windy and mild we were promised. I want some rain to settle my onions in. So virtually everything I had to do is done. Only two major tasks left, one of which can be kicked in the long grass. Much of what I have to do now is packing, preparation etc. I have lists, I like a good list. Debated if I needed a spreadsheet or not as I like a good spreadsheet even more than a list but decided a spreadsheet was a touch excessive

• First task today is to make a list of the different lists I need to make
• Second task today is to add things to each of the lists on my list of lists I need to make
• When I've finished my lists I can gather stuff together and tick it off on the appropriate list
• Make sense????
• No, not really but it gives you all something to quietly smile about and shake your heads

This morning is about getting all my stuff together and this afternoon the six monthly meeting with my lad's care providers

Can you cross reference your list of lists with your lists?

I forgot I still hadn’t watched the last James Bond film so just watched it just now. Have to say it was quite enjoyable.

It’s going to be a chilly night here so the electric blanket is on. I might have an early night.

Why not one of these?

Also handy if anyone should break in during the night.

Can't you hide the remote, put dead batteries in it, a piece of sellotape over the sensor on the TV and/or remote?

I gave it a go one night when nothing else was on. It was distinctly average.

What a 'orrible start to the day. Once again bbc weather shows 'no rain' but its been piddling down for hours.
Daughter's 30th wedding anniversary and they have booked a room at a pub**. We have a lift there and booked a taxi back.
Its a buffet which suits us as we can pick n choose.
**the SiL sings there occasionally. It is now closing down as the manager says she can't afford the massive charges.

Morning all

Blagged a bargain yesterday. I've been on the lookout for a trailer for a while - what with the house move looming and a garage to clear - and I dropped on one for sale just up the road. Got it for £150. It needs about £30 spending on it to bring it up to scratch, but it's ideal for what I need.

Big enough to transport a ride on mower......ideal.

Good morning folks.

Dave.......I want to ask you something re payments. If you prefer a pm just tell me.
MrsD has been told she will never walk again (apart from a few yards with a zimmer).
We now get attendance allowance which pays for a cleaner etc.
So........do you have an invalidity car ? If so, what was your approach ie who did you contact?
Ta.

Good morning folks,
A tad fragile this morning after yesterday’s trip to Weymouth. Glorious sunshine and the venue overlooks the Beach and the sea. A couple of the beers I sampled were 8-9%, only a half of each though. My favourite was a 6% Coconut stout, it smelt like a bounty bar tastes, and was luscious.
Another sunny day today, will head out for a walk to clear the head soon.
Have a peaceful day folks ☀️☕️👍

Unfortunately we have no motability vehicle, my Good Ladies DLA is only at the basic level, there are three levels, she's on the lowest and needs the middle level to qualify for a vehicle, and we can't transfer her to PIP because she was born before spring 1948, we also can't get Attendance allowance because she's on DLA. My Good lady has been on the lowest level DLA for years, we got them to do a review a little while back but they wouldn't move her up a level.
