After being retired for just over 20 years, I pass on the following advice.My last day of working away from home tomorrow after having followed Mr Tebbit’s advice for about 28 of the last 33 years give or take. Maybe a couple of days in January working from home, then proper retirement. Have I got enough money, no idea, but as this thread has shown there is a time to say enough and live a little.
Congratulations to your parents, that’s some achievement ??
Thanks, My Dad hasn't been too good of late, he's very slightly improving but it's slow going, I'm going down to Merseyside Mon- Thursday for the next 4 weeks to look after them whilst my brother's in Thailand.@larbert toffee Congratulations to your parents. 65 years. Wonderful.
May you have a long and happy retirement Tommy.My last day of working away from home tomorrow after having followed Mr Tebbit’s advice for about 28 of the last 33 years give or take.

Just noticing this now. Amazing blessing to celebrate.Thanks Gwladys, my eldest daughter isn't too bad but her partner got hot with a blinding headache for a couple okays but he's on the mend now, they have 2 little ones at 2 and 9 who are negative so far.
Lovely story about your neighbour it's nice when your kids grow up with nice people like that in their lives.
I'd forgotten to mention earlier, that is my parents 65th wedding anniversary today, they argue everyday but they'd be totally lost without each othe?
Not a know it all but the secret of dieting is simple -it is just the amount of calories ,been on a health diet on doctors orders for about 4 years now and it is all about what you eat and you can eat anything you want just not all the time .It really isn't but you are very kind. ? ? We've booked to go on a cruise next October with some friends- never been on a cruise so I need to get my act together and lose some weight. 10 months to do it. Hence the gym, and the healthy eating will start after New Year.
Morning chaps. I lost 6stone by eating correctly, not denying myself anything just portion size and frequency of meals. I did stop drinking as well which helped though. The easy trick to losing weight or maintain weight is very simple, If you aren't active eat less calories, the trick is eating less than you burn, that way you will lose weight. If you are eating more than you are burning you can't.Not a know it all but the secret of dieting is simple -it is just the amount of calories ,been on a health diet on doctors orders for about 4 years now and it is all about what you eat and you can eat anything you want just not all the time .
We have a limit of one cream per weekend but in the week it is salads and soups .Another thing we have found is there is something that slips under the radar and that is spices ,so spice up whatever boring food you are forced to eat ,that 's what we have learned .
Congratulations to them both. That's some achievement. Mine are currently at 54, 55th in March.

Does anyone know how to change a Beagles clock lol. I even stayed up later and took her out later and all I got was a 5 mins only 4.55am instead of 5, Ideally I need to get back to 6. I am probably too blame, when I'm having a particularly bad day I can be in bed by 7pm so she actually has every right to ask to go to the loo lol
I'm trying to cut down on meat, I'd say I've cut down a good 80% still trying to navigate my way around the veggie world, I've had some really nice stuff and some terrible stuff, I'm on a tight budget though as not working cos of my health at the minute.Morning mate,
I'm probably in a small minority on here as I don't eat meat and 95% of the time I'm vegetarian.
Diet is really important, as is exercise . Even gentle exercise such as walks and gardening will do the trick.
Appreciate that you have serious pain so just do what you can mate.
Walking the dog is really good for you . If I remember correctly beagles need a lot of exercise.
Have a great day.
That's really impressive.Congratulations to them both. That's some achievement. Mine are currently at 54, 55th in March. He says he could've murdered her 5 times and still be a free man lollol
Sounds like you are doing all the right things.I'm trying to cut down on meat, I'd say I've cut down a good 80% still trying to navigate my way around the veggie world, I've had some really nice stuff and some terrible stuff, I'm on a tight budget though as not working cos of my health at the minute.
I do lots of walking, she's not too bad now she's as lazy as me, we used to go out for 2-4 hours a morning I can do 1 1/2 hrs if we're lucky now as my body can't handle it. I don't have a yard or garden so I have to walk her which is a blessing in disguise with my mental health the way it is, gets me out and about even if my skin crawls at times.
Aye. Both heading towards 80 and still run rings round the rest of us. Mum has had a few scares over the years, breast cancer being the main one, but you would never have known, she never complained once and her positive outlook at all times was a real help to the rest of us in dealing with it.That's really impressive.
Me and Mrs J met 40 years ago .
55 years married is amazing. Are they both in good health?
No idea. My asshole, not a beagle but a cross, decided he wanted playtime at 5am this morning. Every so often he does it, normally sleeps through.Morning chaps.
