The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

It's not as weird as the one I had a few nights ago. Want to have a go?


I put a bag of fruit in the cupboard in one of these mesh bags that you can see in. Later heard a weird noise coming from the cupboard. Opened it to see enormous, ugly spiders crawling about in the bag but then they seemed to get out and change into beautiful butterflies!

You've a habit of storing problems, as signified by your placement of the bag in the cupboard.
They however only start worrying/bothering you later. You go back, possibly physically, to them later. At which point they start playing on your fears, the spiders you see within the bag.* They then turn out not to be as bad as you first thought. The spiders through to something beautiful.
You have unresolved issuses that you will be putting to rest/dealing with soon.

*The fact that the bag is "transparent", you can see what's in it without getting too close, suggests you know what the issue(s) are and how they aren't as bad as you fear.

£100 from Ernie from me. It's ok but the same amount in Tesco's 5 year bond would be £200 now! Still, there's always the chance, however slim, of a bigger one I suppose.

See, one issue you worry about that wasn't as bad you thought.
Yes you could have put the money in a five year bond, but you didn't. There's still that chance of a bigger win. You accept what you did, but still worry about was it the right thing.

Morning all

Stayed overnight in Minehead but didn't have much sleep. I was up and down with the squits and being sick. Don't know what brought it on and I didn't drink much last night.
Working up the courage to drink a cup of tea - think it will be Russian roulette as to which end it will come out.

Hopefully not both at the same time

@Dave7
PS, I'm not about to bill you for the above or past dream interpretations, so you can stop worrying about that one.

A local dream pyhsic charges £100 per time.

I insist on paying you the going rate.
Please forward me your full bank details and I will set things up

At least spiders and butterflies are real. Who's ever heard of an indoor bush** growing tea bags.
**don't go there

But that is in 5 years time
You now have £100 in your pocket with the chance of more between now and the bond maturing.

Monthly interest though.

It was a close call last night.

Remember, paper twenties are no longer legal tender!

Here's one I started growing earlier in the year.
This time next year...

You could send them to @Dirk .....with him having the trots they could be useful

We had a chicken dinner yesterday and have some leftover chicken. So chicken sarnies it is today.

It'd a tad blustery here.

Raining here now and lots more to come

Not sure what my lunch will be. I think I might just have beans on toast. I never tire of that.

I'm cooking a chicken and mushroom pie tonight, with mashed potatoes, swede, carrots and greens.

We had a roast dinner yesterday. Today will be bubble and squeak.
