How much would £145k invested in 2009 have to be worth today to mean that I am in profit ?

£227K is today's adjusted value according to BoE Inflation calculator | Bank of England

Not too bad if your aspirations were only to beat inflation!

Yes but safely with security of savings
This was our nest egg for retirement

If you'd made a conscious decision to save money over 16 years rather than investing it, then I'd say you've done well to beat inflation over that sort of timeframe, and you've presumably had to manage it carefully and extensively to achieve such rates, but if you were to compare the return with investment performance over that timeframe it's likely to look less impressive, i.e. keeping pace with inflation is a more meaningful benchmark during the decumulation phase rather than before that....

I suppose to answer that questions is how much more currently and how hard did you have to work for that better than inflation return.
Someones else's £145k from 2016 might be worth £300k currently or much more or less.
