    50 little egrets :):):)

    I love big lists like that, arranged by room :)
    2023: the year I get to buy a car
  • So much for leading a simple life in retirement.... I can't settle to it either but I on,y have two weeks until I am back at work so probably won't buy a house that needs 72 things doing to it.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Unfortunately this isn't 72 things needing doing to it - this is 72 things to do BEFORE we move in :eek::eek::eek:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    And just think of the number of steps you won't be able to do, so us mere mortals stand a chance...

    I read somewhere else on the forum that there were display problems


    Somewhat traumatised by GG's 72 item to do list.


    Retirement does settle down at some point, honest. My to do list is in single figures now (but I didn't move abroad and then move house!)
