The Retirement Thread

I’ve just had a fish finger sandwich.

Did you put anything else on it eg tomatoes, tartare sauce etc ?

Bad mistake with the bed. I guaranty that after 2 years the drawers will be full of junk.

agreed - we have instituted a policy that all bedding for each bed is stored under it and nowhere else
This also means that they is less room for junk

It does however mean that when "someone" buy new bedding then in theory some old stuff needs to be got rid of - which is a bit of a problem at times

Just come back from the High Street on my bike

On the way back a delivery rider came out of a side road in front of me on a bike


WHAT A SHOCK!!!

not the way he was riding or how close he was - that was all fine - riding properly

BUT
he was riding a LEGAL ebike - even had a "limited to 15mph" sticker on the back of his delivery box on the back!!!!

Who do I report this aberration to???

That's were my wife and I disagreed. She would buy new stuff but keep all the old stuff. I was all for binning the old stuff but never won

Currently in my early 60's my current day job and the rest of the world keeps asking me when I will retire. All I can see are expenses. Car 17 years old, (Not ULEZ compliant) refurb of parents old house, this PC will need replacing in 2025. I know what I will have to live on when the day comes. It's scary.

Still, it could be worse, eh?

When my wife says that, my response is " so you want to leave it for the kids to sort out and take down the tip while they're grieving "

That’s even more than the pairs of running shoes I have

I did see it and have a similar problem.

When I used to run I had just one pair of Reebocks .... they were so comfy.

Almost a year since Mrs Tkk's brother passed away and we had to travel up to sort out his belongings. At least 100 toby jugs and numerous other items, many in the loft or stashed in the spare bedrooms. The experience made us determined to declutter, but I need to tactfully remind her from time to time.?
