In the meantime, I'm a happy bunny. I have some clearing up to do: User IDs are being sent to me, I have to shift some money around, that sort of thing. But because of the action I took last year, shifting a shares isa to a cash isa, I'm happy with the proportions between cash and shares, it doesn't feel quite so urgent to do the small drawdown of pension cash. Though I'd still like to. In fact, the pensions and a weird little outcropping of non-ISA sheltered electricity company shares, are the only things in my portfolio in shares, and I reckon the proportion is fine. Very, very happy. And considering that in the very nearly four years since I retired, I've had all the probate to and fro, the kitchen redone, and the four cruises in the last two years, I'm doing fairly well. Though its shocking its taken me this long to get a handle on it all **blue haired shrieky smiley**.
I need to eat something after all that brainwork.

Yep, I miss that one!In other news, I've put the remaining pots etc to one side, disinfected the kitchen table, and all the craft-haberdashery stuff is now there, stuffed in 5 plastic shoeboxes
I'm in the office right now, so I'll hunt out those Wilko card blanks, and my craft station will be complete

The mind boggles at a scantily-clad-short-nightie-wearing karma on her way to Greenland... It has all the makings of a good Poirot...

Why is it that bought nighties are always way too short? It seems obvious that the people who design them never wear them or they would realise that. Or you buy a full length one & they are so long that you risk breaking your neck tripping up going downstairs in it.

Long time lurker delurking here to say if you have a Mo**isons nearby I have had some good nighties, below knee length from there at very reasonable prices and they've washed well too. I get a bit too hot in pjs and agree with bad memory that the full length ones just mean I trip on them.Great result with all the financial sorting Karmacat.5
