The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I only found out yesterday that you can see What is going to be on Netflix in the next few weeks and can set a reminder.

Do you know you can sign up for an email on this? I find it great for a quick flick through and one can set a reminder for when the film is available and also add to the My List feature. Both can be done from the email.

I had mine in my shoulder.

Beat me to it 😂

Ooooh just had a text from my bank to say my State Pension was paid this morning. Exciting or what?

Now I must go and do stuff. Love you and leave you good folks till later.

What though?

I think that warrants a change of user name, you should be "Tech Wizard"

Not really. I only found out totally by accident so I can't claim to be a whizz at anything

Windy, but sunny here.

@PaulSB mentioned his pension being paid today. I received my new tax coding for 21/22 and it had details of my total state pension for the coming financial year. I divided it by 13 to work out my four weekly amount and it works out to an exact number of £ with no pence. I might be a bit ocd but for some reason that’s pleased me no end 😁

Dave.... what is free ie nhs and what do you have to pay for ?
Does it depend on the bank balance ?
The auntie will be returning home soon and will need regular care.
If MrsD gets any worse I can see her needing it also.

We've had a six week free trial, finishes in a couple of weeks, when the trial finishes we'll have to pay, but they will do an assessment to work out how much we can afford to pay, I've not had to deal with this before so will know more after we've sorted it. Have a look at Personal Independence Payment, PIP and attendance allowance.

A stupid thread on the other side. International women's day.

I'll have to have a look.

Ah sorry another thing (the brain still thinks it's 3.00am). I watched the "3.10 to Yuma." Apparently it's a remake of a 1957 classic. Appropriate title for me!

Strong cast, good plot and a bit more to it than the usual cowboys Western. A lot of people get shot and die but it's not graphic - I don't enjoy graphic death and injury. Recommended and I think especially Western fans will enjoy it.

If you have Netflix watch out for The Sisters Brothers another excellent Western which is available from March 13th - Friday. I've seen it before but looking forward to watching again.

There's a small problem there.
The 13th is Saturday.

Don't admit such things! I had a whole career, in IT, based on finding things out by accident!

Carer's Allowance.

Blue letter from NHS this morning with an appointment for the jab on Saturday 20th. Pain in the arse as it’s in Perth rather than local.

You don't get the jab there Mo.
