The Retirement Thread

Have you tried any tonics? I think Floradix is great for a boost for people recovering from illness, etc.

TBH I was only thinking about that a few days ago. I will call in at the chemist and get some.
Also.....I don't drink enough water so I have to change that.

It's quite expensive and can take a few months before you really see a difference, but I definitely think it helps.....and yes, I agree about the water, I sometimes forget to drink enough and that's when I often end up a bit sluggish with a headache.

I've just changed my quilt from 4.5 tog to 9.5 tog as I was a bit cold last night in bed and had to throw a blanket over the top.

The only time I drink plain water is with my tablets......so far so good

I got a shock last night when I watched the last episode of the Reckoning on BBC1 . I found out that I share my birthday with Jimmy Savile .
Not the year obviously . Not too happy about that so may be best to forget about it.

Mr WD isn't a happy bunny. The sticky backed floor tiles that we put on the bathroom floor aren't. Some of them are lifting and it's really annoying he has tried using sample tiles and various things. Heat, evo stick, and another glue. The heat has worked best, so heat it is.

Hi folks Windy weather arriving ....50-60 mph gusts for a few days. Good news is that their easterlies which will blow in copious amounts of seaweed for my garden. I bought a Fothergilla early this year and have been growing it on to plant out either in a half barrel or in the ground. I do like trees/shrubs with good autumn colour.

Hey @Mo1959 . I see Scotland has an unusual red weather warning for rain. Its usually us in Wales that gets it.

They are available for hire. Do you want their number?

I don't think Mr WD would be very happy. Can't think why

Yes. Just reading that. Slightly further east. We are still amber here at the moment.

This is our forecast for the next few days. Not as bad as up your way though.

This isn’t sounding good for Wiggle/Chain Reaction, etc.

I've been on the phone to BT, now EE, to get a better deal.
I don't need the home phone anymore, no one has used it fo several years, so that has gone.
Broadband only has just saved me £40 a month.😁
