The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. Very mild but overcast, windy and the chance of some drizzle. It’s probably waiting for me to go out before it starts as usual

Good morning all. A bit breezy out there the moment.
Uncle Ernie has come up trumps again. £250 in total 2x25, 2x50 and a 1x100.😁
I have the usual escape committee meeting this afternoon at the Railway Bell. I'm hoping for a better turnout today, but one of our merry band is back in Australia until May.

Just £100 from Ernie for me. Almost disappointing after 2 good months. Better than nothing though.

Morning all, hope everyone is well.
Busy busy busy today.
Curry** is already in the slow cooker.
Stripped the bed and the bedding is now in the washer.
Electrician should be here at 0900. He removed 2 sockets for the new wardrobes and will now refit them where appropriate.
Cleaner will be here at 10.00.
My Bro and SiL due at 1400 for lunch**.
I need a shower.
I am knackered just typing that...ready for bed again

Morning all

Yay.....it's........Fish Friday
Going to Minehead for some shopping and to fill the CRV up with diesel, then picking best mates up for lunch at Porlock.
Did well on the PBs this month.
I got 3 prizes totalling £625 and MrsD had £50.

Just been to the local Spar as I realised I had no nan bread for this afternoons curry........ imo if you are having curry and rice then youn need nan bread to go with it.
There is a kebab place about 2 miles away that makes them to order but they don't open till 12 and I may not feel like going out then.
Right....off to put bedding in the drier.

I scrapped our Ernie's when rates started rising, no excitement but now it's in gilts earning over 4.5% for the next 25 years guaranteed 🙂 if yields drop to the point it's not worth having again I will probably put any new investment back into Ernie for the giggle but couldn't justify effectively spending the best part of 4.5k a year on lottery tickets, especially when I pay no tax on the returns in anycase 😁
