The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

It is summer, and we should have sunshine. I hate the big grey skies of Lincolnshire.

Move to the South West.

I am going to move somewhere at some point, I do not like this house any more.

I have just made some chilli con carne to freeze, yes I did cheat and use a jar of sauce, but I am still pleased with myself.

I always find air to be quite useful - worrying when it wanders off!

Yes I find it useful as well. Spooky really

It's what jars of sauce are there for. Quick and easy.
Each maker has it's own flavour, what one did you use? Plus you can always add some ingredients if you want to.

I use jars. Uncle Bens offers 3 strengths and I go for medium

Lidl, the jar is at the bottom of the bin, so I do not have a clue which one, knowing my tightness when spending on myself the cheapest.

Honestly I doubt anyone has done less cooking in their lifetime than me, I am embarrassed by it, we both just had our designated jobs and both did them well.

The odd thing about money is that I will spend on others ( no, not you lot), but I struggle to spend on myself, even though I can comfortably afford to do so.

My knackered foot hurts. The achilles feels like it's burning.

Definitely me!

It's really humid here. There isn't a lot of air about and it's still raining.

Well...

Hello. Dashing in for a quick question. Do any of you own/use the Wahoo Elemt Rival Smart Watch. Opinions?

It's on a 50% discount to £99.99 and I'm very tempted. I guess the heavy discount means it will soon be discontinued but I'm not fussed about this. My current sports watch is 8 years old, rather ugly and not very reliable.

Definitely me!

I only just discovered the microwave is not a tv that only shows cookery programs. As for how to turn the oven on, good old youtube.

You're lucky to have one that shows TV programmes.........ours just whirrs and goes ding from time to time...............

Do nothing to it and it'll just stand there, making no noise whatsoever.

You mean I should stop poking it with a stick?
