The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good morning all.
Supposed to be raining all day here.
I Did have plans for this morning but woke with one of those 'can't be arsed' feelings.
Yesterday was as good day. Pub lunch was very good, followed by watching my team batter Man City.

Have a good day everyone.

WooHoooo.. Just received my £10 Christmas Box from HM Gov.
That's going to pay for the 1,000 staples for my heavy duty stapler that I ordered from Screwfix (not a dating site) yesterday and £5.99 for some screenwash.
That'll leave me with 2p to spend as I wish!!
I'm thinking of either two penny chews or maybe investing in long-team Canadian winter wheat.
Decisions, decisions....

Good morning all.
It's a cloudless sky at the moment, if a tad cool.
The first of the bin lorries have been down our road, the general rubbish one follows in an hour or so.
My £10 Christmas bonus will turn up next week, that gives me plenty of time to contemplate what to splash it on.🥳

Never let the facts get in the way of a story.
Which Editor of a newspaper said that?

Apparently it was Mark Twain. Google is my friend. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
