The Retirement Thread

I got this from Amazon about 18 months ago. I’ve been really pleased with it. The wire racks mean you can put grubbier shoes on without worrying about scuffing it.

Thanks Mo. I will show it to my wife and see what she says. It will probably cost me the same to buy the wood anyway.

No no no.
You buy it without telling her, then you tell her you have made it.
You will have a win win

Well that's a job done. While Mr WD is outside doing stiff, I've gone through all my clothes. Dear God, i didn't realise just how much stuff I have. Things to small, things to big, things that still have the price tag on them that I bought 10 years plus ago. Things that just don't suit me anymore ( it's am age thing).

I have 2 black bags full of stuff. A good tip, once you will a bag, use the vacuum cleaner hose to suck out all the air. Makes the bag half the size. It's a case of less is actually more, and Mr WD will never know. Bless him

When we go "clothes shopping" for Mrs B, I often joke that we should take a charity bag with us, and just put the stuff straight in the bag, save us carrying it home

It is not well received

Still got my headache. It's not a throbbing ache, just constant pain like pressure. Tried lavender and tried a kip but no success.

It'll fall in the middle if there's thunder.

It was fine and it's just been iced, I'll try a piece later

No thunder whilst it were in the oven then.

No, but it is heading north right now

Chucky fish finger and mushy peas, followed by apple pie and cream
I might bake a cake this afternoon

I misread your post and thought you meant Chunkys the fish and chip shop?
They used to be the best chip shop for miles around. The owner was a bald headed chap and he gave excellent value for money meals. This was years ago so I guess it's long gone.

@Mo1959 Thank you again for your suggestion. Mrs G agreed for me to order one from Amazon so I did. You have saved me a job.

Very clever, boogie woogie style, I started watching him a couple year ago and got hooked, I had never really listened to much piano only music before.

WoW.... 0600 and it's pich black
Yesterday I gave in and took 2 tablets for that headache. I don't like taking tablets but they did work. I feel so much better today and feeling "what was all that about".... really weird.

Morning. Overcast start again but we might get a little sun by afternoon. It’s turning much colder end of next week. I can see the heating going on earlier this year. At least I’ve built up a good credit so don’t need to worry too much about the bills.
