The Retirement Thread

Presenter of 60 years now presents Murder Casebook.

Did wonder if anyone would make the connection though. You must be getting used to my way of thinking!

It's very quiet here and not much happening, I've cleaned the carpets and tidied up.
I was going to go out, but Amazon just told me I have a parcel coming this afternoon.
It's a Lakeland....No not the terrier 🐶, but my slow cooker, now I wonder what my first meal will be ?

Salut. Another trip to the tip shortly. We are allowed to book 3 visits a month here and this is my second and hopefully last one for April.

I had to get my daughter to clear all my wife's clothes and jewelry.......too painful to do it myself.
Have you got anyone that can help you sort things out ?

I have, luckily, sons and daughter-in-laws. I am managing to go through the kitchen, bathroom and other assorted cupboards and drawers, I must admit to bursting into tears at least ten times this morning. I feel it is important for me to keep busy, the evenings are horrible though, same for you, I guess.

I also think that my brain has been removed and replaced with fudge, not sure what is happening there, also whose voice am I speaking with, sure does not sound like mine.

Yes. I realise this section is not the place as imo it's supposed to be light hearted and it has helped me a lot......even that wicked Welsh woman .
I will say, that everything you say is what I am going through and it hurts so much.
Feel free to pm me if you wish.

I'm glad you both have someone to talk to.

And of course I will continue to be a source of amusement to you

Sorry guys, back on track off for a ride as soon as I fit the new tyre that I have to go and buy from the nearest cycle shop first. Come rain or shine I am off out on the bike today.

TBF I never said you were a source of amusement.... I merely said you were wicked

Dinner will be a nice chicken salad, two stone down so far and a bit more to go.

Home insurance.
We all expect these things to rise but this is unbelievable.
I have insured through Sainsburys for a few years.
Just had my renewal letter.
Last year £230
This year £650
Do they really expect me to accept that?

Insurance is just stupid now they just think of a number

I think this section is very much the right place tbh. Illness is pretty much a given of retired life and death certainly is.

It's as good a place as any to share, grieve and vent, imo.

I have got battered cod fillets or fish fingers to choose from. Maybe with chips or just bread n butter...... big decisions.

They are bloody expensive - just got two new ones discounted to £86! Crazy!
