The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

Me too. I can't become a burden on the state till May 2020!

November 2022 - all £9700 of it at today's rate.

Morning all. Grey and still here which over the last few days has meant a beautiful day ahead.

So I'm now a proper pensioner. 65 today.

Best wishes from me.

Manky grey day out there.

Just finishing first cuppa of the day then off to supermarket to stock up on fodder & booze whilst Lovely Wife has a lay in. It's a hard life being a fella.

I think my neck is slowly getting better. Still getting spasms, but not so regular or as severe. Had my Tens machine on most of yesterday evening and that seemed to have eased things a bit.
Got to cut the lawns today and make a decision as to whether we are still going away on Monday.
I'm reasonably optimistic that I'll be in the caravan in deepest Wiltshire on Monday evening.

At the brother and sister in laws later. SiL is ok, but BiL is an annoying bell end. Even worse, he bears an incredible resemblance to Ian Beale, which makes him even more loathsome.

Good news is it's a family gathering and there will be plenty of grog.

3 years for me.

May 2025 for me!

March 2024 for me.

Good morning all fellow retirees. The dog has been out early today as it is very warm at the moment.
The TDF starts this morning, ITV 4 are showing the whole thing live from 10.45. Unfortunately MrsP booked us a holiday in Italy from Monday so I am going to miss most of the first week. I know what you will say, but the room has a telly, maybe I can catch the highlights late in the evening. At least I shall be home for weeks two and three.

Happy Birthday Paul . I am not a pensioner yet.

Good morning folks. back to dull overcast and cooler weather conditions today.

Normal for our summer

 

[172traindriver]

We would have been if the government had not done the dirty!

9 mile run done. Perfect morning for it. Had a nice steep in the bath and just sat down with my big bowl of porridge. Trying to let it cool a bit so I don't burn my mouth as per usual when I'm hungry. Lol.

Hope you didnt fall asleep for too long in the bath
