Breaking Through, Travelling On

Karmacat

Absolutely, RT. I didn't get the name quite right, but its simply the board thats on here, for over 50s: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26 Voila

Today, hmmm, the essentials:
- 2 hours client work
- cleaning before first client arrives
- off to the local post office to post the Amazon book that sold over the weekend.
- take pix of the ski stuff, and accept the reduced rate ebay listing that I *did* get an invite to (I suspect nearly everyone who's ever sold on ebay got an invite though I *have* just started up again).
- any spare time, start on the editing.

Well, I didn't get one:mad:. Sold hundreds of things on there in the past but not for over a year now and was going to get started again to have a good money-making blast before Christmas.

Oh CBC! I'm sorry apologies if I upset you

Then maybe it really is because I happened to have started up selling just last month - I put a few books on (which haven't sold) and now I've put my sister's cushions on. Ski stuff today.

Really sorry if I offended you.

I came on to note the week ... week 94 till my retirement at the end of Week One.

Aww, Karmacat, you're so sweet:A. You haven't upset me in the slightest:). I was on another thread on here and someone mentioned the same thing yesterday and she was on a listing blitz because of it. I checked all my messages on eBay but there were none about that offer:(. I haven't listed for about a year(but have bought stuff as recently as Friday) so maybe they think I'm no longer a seller:doh:

Have a good week. I love reading of all that you manage to cram in to your days:)

Thank-you darling!:kisses3: Much appreciated - I've duly noted and subscribed!

OH was looking over my shoulder as I typed that request to you yesterday...:o He was most certainly not thrilled with the prospect of getting older...I told him that if getting older equated to us saving money he should just get on with it!!!;)

The joys of having a 'sugar daddy' (not):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Okay, thats good

I love being able to cram stuff in - I'm a bit burned out on my actual profession, hence all the time I have plus I do feel I'm slowly recovering from the health and other crap that happened in 2009. And being on the home run to retirement will help that along nicely

Poor him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (also *not*) anyway, he's got you to keep him young my business partner is 67, is still the captain of the 5 a side football team he plays for, jogs, plays tennis, does weights, all sorts of stuff. Of course, I tell him I hate him for it at any opportunity which is deep affection in Scouse terms it just means pacing and care, thats all

Not yet!

Another good over 60 perk is free eye tests.

60 still seems to be the age where being a senior kicks in. Since he turned 60, Mr Goldie has enjoyed lower memberships fees for National Trust and English heritage, reduced entrance fees at various attractions, lower price cinema tickets and lower ticket prices on some theatre tickets.

You can also join the B&Q Diamond Club, and get 10 % off on Wednesdays!

They seem very trusting at these places - Mr Goldie has never been asked to prove his ago - I tell him it's because he looks old!:rotfl:
