The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning folks, I've had an E-Mail from the Post Code Lottery? Apparently I've won a prize? In a prize draw? I shall have to carefully investigate, I do play the Postcode Lottery and haven't won for several years. But my first job this morning will be to load my Good Ladies tablet dispenser.

Good morning all early risers.
A dull overcast morning here.
Fresh fruit salad and Greek yogurt for breakfast.
I am now waiting in for the fortnightly sainsburys delivery. 7-8am.
All the usual things to do today. The grass needs cutting but it's too wet for that, so a domestics day.
Stay safe everyone

Good morning Dave from your best friend down south.

Morning all

Bit of a Numbnuts day today. Not much on.
Apparently, our football team has beaten some Johnny Foreigners and there's going to be rejoicing in the streets.
Didn't Cav do well?

Morning. Dull overcast and misty here, but enough about Mr WD.

I play the postcode lottery and the max i have won is £75.00 I win £10.00 now and again.

Stay safe folks

Good morning folks,
Having watched the ITV 4 highlights of yesterdays TDF I was delighted to see Cav winning the stage ( I stay clear of this Forum so as to avoid any spoilers ) You could see that the cyclists from opposing teams were delighted with his win, heartwarming stuff.
This evening we're down the Park again for grandparent duty while mummy and her friends go for a run, if the weather holds we might have a mini picnic afterwards.
Stay safe folks 👍

Good morning all, another grey start here. A little potter this morning and perhaps watch a bit of tennis this afternoon.
After noticing all the tadpoles yesterday I’ve been googling. I found a page from the south of England (Sussex) saying that sometimes they stay as tadpoles all summer and may even over winter as tadpoles to give them a head start for the following year. I presume the same applies up here. I use that path quite often so will be having a good look at the water’s edge from now on.

I do the occasional Euro millions , but mainly I anticipate my Premium Bonds coming up with the "Big One" So far it has been a steady stream of £25 prizes, with one £50. Only a couple of days to go until the next draw 🤞

I have been quite lucky with the premium bonds as well. I've won about £175 in the last 6 months not a huge amount but a hell of a lot more than the interest rate from banks.

Bonjour. so far. Mrs G mentioned wallpaper shopping today as she doesn't like the one she got from Amazon. The excitement is killing me.

Morning all, woke up yesterday with a sore throat and heavy chest, same today plus no voice.

I'll be doing a covid test later, but fairly confident it isn't covid as my symptoms don't really match and I've had both vaccinations.

Wish me luck

There now seems to a few cold like bugs about. My son felt unwell the other week with the same symptoms, did the lateral flow test which was negative, felt worse a couple of days later so got the PCR test which was also negative.
Better to find out though.
