The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning,
We have a skip in the front paved / parking area. At the moment there is a big skip on there full of our ex kitchen. Last night about 8pm there was a knock on the door and two very polite youngsters asked if they might take the metal ( sink etc ) that was in there. I quickly checked with our kitchen installer and he said by all means. These two lads then took the stainless sink / drainer, plus some metal baking trays and wire oven racks and were on their way, on Bicycles, wobbling along the road. They asked if they might come back in daylight so I'm expecting them about 10am.

Morning all

Glad I took advantage of the fine weather yesterday to cut the lawns. It's raining this morning.
Off to the Carew Arms for lunch today.

Good morning all.
It's cold here at just 2°.
We/I am in the middle of having a new bathroom fitted upstairs. We have a cunning plan.......that is for me to pay for all and every job that needs doing so that when my daughter and SiL buy the house they will not have to dig into their money.

Good for them. They sound nice lads.

Struggling with acute lower back pain this week, it’s exhausting

0.5°C here, still a fair frost.

A few gardening chores today in readiness for the forthcoming growing season. I'm looking forward to getting out there.

Horrible, my sympathies to you.
It's only when you are actually going through back pain that you realise how bad it can be.
I spent a small fortune trying to find a cure but since age etc has stopped my squash playing and running I now only get occasional problems.
GWS.

A warning message popped up on the washing machine informing me that a filter needs cleaning.
All done, now. That's today's job jobbed..
Tomorrow, I might descale my coffee machine 👍

Hello you lot
Been up since 7 ish - countn;t sleep properly as my nose was running like a tap

In better news the new Omaze house is on Loch Rannock and looks wonderful

I am pretty sure it must be my turn to win - it's been ages before I won anything worth having

so - what kind of boat should I buy
I have a fishing rod (3 actually) but the stuff to go with it needs replacing - so I'll need then as well

Pretty sure I could loose the grandkids pretty effectively around there - good job there is a bath as they will need it!!!

Anyway it'll be over a month before they come and tell me - so I have time to plan!

Loch Rannoch if you don’t mind. You’ll need to learn to pronounce it properly if you’re going to live there, not some Englified version!

We went to town. Bought some odds and sods.

Ham sandwich for lunch with a few crisps.

I had a spag Bol ready meal. Mainly because it was supposed to be used by today.
