Just sticking my head in to report that there is nothing much to report.
We've not really done much this month, so have hardly spent anything (just groceries and swimming), and I don't even have the enthusiasm to go for a run in this heat either.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)1 -
..first time we have ever left a holiday early because it's just too hot to be able to do anything!!

I have not got the energy to do anything either. I got up at stupid o clock Sunday to do a coastal walk from Boscastle to Tintagel and ever since then cannot face doing anything other than sitting under our garden gazebo with my feet in a bucket of water reading a book.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

Me, I love this hot weather. I just came back from somewhere even hotter and even after paying quite a lot of money to have foreign objects stuck up my nose and down my throat several times and stay at home for 5 days it was still worth it. The icing on the cake was the heatwave that started just after I got back.2 -
Slept really well last night after playing football yesterday. I thought it would be too hot but in the end it had cooled just a little with a gentle breeze. Had a good run around and then scored the winning goal with a shot the whole length of the pitch after noticing their keeper out of position. Everyone has lost fitness during lockdown but I seem to be recovering well because I can spend more time at the gym as I am the only one playing who is retired.3

We are just back from a long weekend in the camper - would have loved to stay for longer but there was that pesky job thing to deal with. Did a big walk which included the Seven Sisters to Birling Gap clifftop for the breeze - lovely. Sissinghurst was stunning.
It should be running club tonight but I am not going - I have had heatstroke before and it is not something I need to repeat.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Pensions, Annuities & Retirement Planning, Loans
