The Retirement Thread

Morning all from a damp and chilly Din Eidyn

Today is the sort of day when a bracing well wrapped up walk along a shingle beach under a leaden grey sky would be just the ticket, followed by a soup and sandwich in a quiet beach cafe. If only ! Findhorn beach is the one I have in mind.

Morning all

Been having a clear out of stuff these past few weeks and thought I'd try selling on Facebook.
I don't 'do' FB - ie no personal posts or photos, friends, comments or other stuff, but the response from my ads has been phenomenal. Beats Gumtree and Ebay by a mile.
Quickest sale was for my old pub bike which went for £30 within 2 minutes of me posting the ad (I only paid a tenner for it a couple of years ago )
Sold some fishing gear for £150 last night, guy's picking it up today.
I'd recommend the FB platform to anyone for selling stuff.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Quite an eventful day yesterday. Mrs Tenkay and I cycled down to the park and met a few friends to go for a socially distanced run🏃‍♂️
I was able to play with our grand daughter for the first time in months
After cycling back from the park I opened a can of " Heathen" from Northern Monk and all was well with the world 😊
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶‍♂️🏃‍♂️🚲👍

Years since I was up there. It's a lovely area. Is the hippy community still there.............are you even allowed to call them that in this pc world!

Do you have to have a special sellers page?

Do you have to have a special sellers page?

There's usually a group in your area. Try in the search box maybe buy and sell in Powys or something.

Do you have to have a special sellers page?

No, I just advertise on local group pages.
I've shifted about £500 worth of stuff in the past couple of weeks. All easy sales - cash and collect.

Ah I see. I am a member there already. I just thought you sold on your own special sellers page.

I found someone who sells logs on that one and had a couple of loads dropped off the other week.

Not sure you have to socially distance from dogs.

Same house anyway.

I've just put the heating on as I'm cold
