The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

MOT and VED can both be set as reminders with the DVLA who will send you an email to remind you they are due.

I seem to recall texts can be used as well. Works well for me.

How would I get them to message me about MOTs ?

I found three Bass fillets in the freezer, God knows how long they have been there so thawed them out and they smelt OK so I steamed them and tasted OK too so I have just made two fish pies

If you don't post tomorrow we will know why 😆

My fish pie was rather nice, just washed the kitchen and bathroom floor, that's it for the day, play time now

Mr WD is going to be in the deep doo doo. He has forgotten that it's our wedding anniversary today. I'm going to wait and see how long if at all it is before he remembers.

What have you got him?

I only make gushy noises for kittens and puppies 🐶🐈

Mercifully, we have always lived hundreds of miles away from our grandchildren.

We just can't be doing with having children around. We love animals though.

Mixed bag amongst our friends, some are constantly involved with their one-step removed offspring (fair enough - each to their own) and there are a surprising number that are very reluctant grandparents having only minimal contact with them.

Same thing I got him last year. Diddly squat.

Thank god mine are all adults now. I've told them that I won't be able to look after great grandchildren ever as I am a poor old lady and can't manage. They seem to find that statement a tad funny.

Why you expecting him to "remember", if you don't?

Ours are all older teens now too & like you we will not be getting involved with great-grandkids.

Also can't stand watching parents fuss around their grown-up children who have left home. Constantly solving every problem they encounter and generally interfering in their lives.

My grand children thankfully are quite self sufficient I'm glad to say.

What the feck is wrong with me Yet another attack of the munchies. I went round and bought some iced ginger bread and ate a couple of big slices and I’m now eating fruit pastilles. It’s like a bloody drug.

Sounds normal to me? If I open a bar of chocolate, packet of sweets, etc etc, I cannot stop munching until they are all gone.

Mrs @BoldonLad is much more disciplined, she can open a bar of chocolate and eat one. square, then, put the rest away for another day.

She is annoying, but, the good thing is, when she retrieves her bar of chocolate, the next day, and, I have eaten all of mine, she might give me a few squares
