I am following this story with great interest, the unexpected issues that come up will be very interesting - inevitably it will be us one day if and when OH retires.
I am very surprised that you have not argued yet - I fully expect my OH to be in A&E in the first week - not joking either
The lump sum - I expect you have filled both of your ISAs for this year? That's a start and then there are some one year, two year, five year bonds if you want to put money aside for a specific project in 1,2 or 5 years time - eg holiday payment, house refurbishments, changing the car etc.
I am very impressed that the grumpty one is ironing and has cleaned a bedroom.
OH is home this morning and we have a couple of hours before we have to go out and OK I admit I have got side tracked by catching up with the shenanigans going on here ...
OH says " we have a couple of hours yet so we can relax"
I said well you could always vaccum and he said "No" and went and sprawled on the sofa.
No one is vaccuming this morning.
He has emptied the cat litter trays and washed the cat dishes and that will be the full extent of his exertions today apart from tea boy.
He has never cleaned a bedroom ever.
Retirement will be the same old same old - it will still be me cleaning the bedroom, the bathrooms, the vaccumming, doing the laundry most of the cooking and all of the kitchen cleaning and washing up ... such is life.
Well so far another peaceful day, but things have reverted to normal, he has gone to play golf and I've cleaned and tidied as HE invited friends to meet at our house before we go out tonight:mad:
He didn't change the bed before he did the bedroom as 'he didn't know where the sheets were' so I'll have it to do again when I change the bed!!
A few years ago I was in hospital for an op and left him a clean set of bedding to put on for when I came out, due to complications I was in hospital for over 2 weeks. When I came home yes he had changed the bedding but I did notice odd pillowcases - he hadn't changed the ones on my side as I hadn't been there to sleep on them!!!0 -

Not sure if all M&S's in Scotland are doing something similar.
Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

Good afternoon (although dark enough to feel like evening already) Elite.
Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
