The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Step away from the phone!

You should be sound asleep now.

I've woken at this time for years. A quick brew and I'll sleep again but yes you're right.

I think the discussion is around GP appointments and doubt if private GPs will ever exist. If they did affordability would be zero.

We should all be fighting for the NHS.

We have a private GP practice in Macclesfield. Very affordable. Not.

Wow! Some of you lot were up early, or late.

Cold wet and very windy here.

Didn't get out for a ride yesterday as I spent ages on the phone trying to get my pension sorted. Despite giving my provider 5 months notice of retirement I won't get paid this month. Payment of my lump sum and first pension payment are due in four days. When were they going to tell me it would be late!? It took me phoning them to find out that they'd f****d up!!! Getting really angry again just typing this.

Anyway, mutt still needs to be walked, car needs an MOT and I need some exercise. Will force myself onto onto turbo trainer as all the bits for the winter bike repair haven't arrived yet.

Morning fellow retirees . A blustery and damp start to the day here.
A group of us retired folk are planning a trip to Brussels on the 28th of March, the day before Brexit just as a protest of sorts incase the European continent shuts down without us the following day. ☺ One of our group is still working on the railway and can get reduced fares on the Eurostar.

Moving on. It looks like I will get wet taking the dog out a little later.

Wet, windy and very cold. The question is can I be bothered to get out of bed and light the woodburner??

WOW! I was completely unaware such companies existed. Despite my recent health issues I see my GP once or twice a year - those prices are so far out of reach it's ridiculous.

 

[PaulSB]

Well I've had coffee, toast and some rather good marmalade..........time to tackle the woodburner.

What a 'orriible day**. Woke up several times during the night to hear it lashing down.
Mrs D is off to collect her new specs today. Hopefully no more complaints about the print being to small/unclear etc.

** Mrs Ds sisters son (our nephew) has been doing a bit of genealogy and has found the grave details of thier great grandparents. So they are meeting up later to go and find the plots. What a nice day for walking around a graveyard
Fortunately me back is still bad so I cant go with them

It is grey, wet and very windy here, horrible day. Swim done now playing with some dents and feeling very hungry, only another two hours until I am in my eating window so I best think of something other than food, scones hmmm scones.
