The Retirement Thread

Have you ever seen the video of the version by Screaming J Hawkins. Very theatrical.

I was searching for this as you were posting! 😂

I might avoid answering the phone today. It will probably by more insurance people wanting me to sign up with them.

So far I have quotes from companies from £198 to whopping £1,000. For my buildings insurance. Yeah. No

You’ve to be careful with comparison sites and tick the little box saying you don’t want phone calls. It’s easily missed…..no doubt intentionally on their part.

I'm quite partial to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins rendition... 👌

How weird (imo)

The tick-boxes are meant to confuse.. Some you tick if you want summat; others if you don't!

My alarm is set for 02:50 for the next two days 😢

Damp and drizzly here. Kids up, breakfasted, dressed and out to school with no dramas. Housework done (my wife is beginning to get back into it so that helps) Bins out, retrieved, then out into the next street, that way I get a double empty

And so we start Xmas present wrapping

Yes. I went in and changed it to emails only but I have no doubt some will chance it.

And the rain is here now more pottering for me then

 

[Drago]

Housework, then clean my van.

My car insurance is due on 1st February. Saga gave me a 3 year fixed rate which was good, but I anticipate a huge rise this time.

Night all.

Wakey, wakey, rise and shine...

I have an old spare phone, the Doro one with big buttons that some oldies use 😮. I chucked a Tesco PayGo sim in it and use it for those organisations that insist on a contact phone number. If it rings I know it's junk and can safely ignore ( or answer if I'm feeling mischevious )

Good morning from soggy Dorset. A meet up with friends for curry at the Dilli Haat in Westbourne last night ( they should open a branch in Ilkley ). Trip to the kitchen manufacturers factory/ showroom to look at handles 🤔 and then prepare for our trip to London tomorrow. We'll be seeing new grandson Max for the first time, the poor lad spent the first four months of his life attached to tubes and listening to the beeps of medical equipment. He's home now and so we can visit at last 😁.

Best wished to the grandson - I know how you feel as our grandson was stuck in hospital for 4 months when he was born
In our case it was during first lockdown which didn;t help!!

but it is a worrying time - hope he is out of the woods now - or at leats on a path with a view of the last few trees!!!

Bonjour. We are baby sitting for our 5 year old great grandson till 3.30 and then off to see our 14 year old grandson play guitar in his school concert.
The weather is quite mild today but with lots of grey clouds so rain may be on the cards later.
