Popped in to say hi as am now back on the diaries forum - and - knew you had retired. Hope holiday is fab and 'see you' when you get back.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Bon voyage KC.0

:wave::wave::wave: I'm back!
Hello all - old friends, returning friends, and new friends too :j
We had a lovely time in Norfolk, thanks all, we even had my brother staying over the first night and the last night, as he brought my mum down. And our Norfolk rellies had a Yorkshire rellie staying with them, so it was a larger crowd than usual
Trip between Norfolk and Merseyside took twice as long as it should have - anyone remember those huge storms that rolled in a fortnight ago? But my brother's a *really* good driver, so no problems. He's also a good forager - crab apples and rosehips, though the rose hip syrup was horrendously sugary for all of us, I've insisted on using it up over my porridgethere must be micronutrients in there as well :cool:
Extremely, wonderfully, overwhelmingly good news on the health front: whereas I only expected to regain my health by, say, next spring, I'm already 90% of the way there :j:j:j I'm still likely to be the one that tires first, but I haven't had to hold back from anything anyone else has done :j
So I can already say that retiring was the best decision I've made in a long, long time :j
And here I am, ready to join the fray again (fight those brambles! open that account! go on that day trip! make that fortune!)
First though, and this is standard - catching up with the diaries.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Welcome back, KC:j. A bit presumptuous welcoming you back to your own diary but you know what I mean:rotfl:. We've all missed you, it seems ages since we heard from you last:(
What a wonderfully uplifting post on a blustery and dull almost-October morning:T. I'm so glad that the holiday was such a happy and enjoyable time for you. It sounds as if you had a ball. Well, not literally, but again, you know what I mean:rotfl:
Brilliant news about your vastly improving health:T. Here's to it continuing to improve and then staying tip-top:beer:. Just don't overdo things! That's an order;)0
