Erm, anyone could do that..

Yeah, but I don't know how to do that, and I can't be bothered to learn!

You do know we hate lazy people don't you!

I didn't get where I am today by can't being aresd to learn

Did you tell Reggie that on the Green Phone or the Red Phone?

RED one and I'm not sure where it's got me, at the moment.

So long as it's not "all at sea".

You're not far wrong there. I'm trying to work out what my minimum budget will be.
I have state pension, one I am already drawing, 5 small ones, still to finalise with attendant lump sums and I still have to agree my tax position, as the 6 year dispute comes to a close.
At the moment it looks like I will have to live on 1/2 what I was earning, anything I earn will then be a bonus...................

Use an Excel spreadsheet (or similar) to enter up all the headings of your incomings, outgoings and reserve pots if your OK with that and then enter the amounts as you see them now along with the appropriate formulae.
A bit of work on this now will help you to see where you are going and then it's an easy task to play "what if" when you are trying to balance and improve upon your budget and as your situation changes.

OR:
get a caravan, sell the house, drink alot.. works for me!

Good advice mate, in fact I've set one up with all the outgoings on it(that will change)

and the income that I have at the moment. But it comes down to me not answering letters over the last couple of months. People are now saying, oh you need to send us such and such, we sent you in May One pension is so small I can draw all of it at once(£1200)......
but only if my total pension fund doesn't exceed a certain figure. It doesn't, but they want proof, so I have to write to all the others and ask them for a total value quote.

Bastards just send my fucking money

Yours sounds even better Doc, but I'm stuck with er indoors. I would fuck off to Sweden if I was on my own.
I could buy a house over there for less than 1/2 what mines worth. About 10 miles out of town, in the country, with out buildings a bit like the farm and no bleeding neighbours.
Hey, A barge would be good I could sail down to your place then.

That last bid sounds paradise to Bandit & myself!

Well, there are methods for persuading "er-indoors" types....

I quite fancy living on a barge...

Well she's put a bit of weight on this last 12 months and I dont think the knife would go all the way in Doc

I fancy getting a load of 6mm plate and building one from scratch. You can buy a set of planz and detail drawings to work from, but quite frankly I could do my own.

I costed it out once about 10 years ago, before the steel game went mad.
You could build the barge for £8,000, fit it out for £6,000. They are on sale new, for£60,000.

I rest my case

What about reclaimed plate?
That could make it affordable to even me!

Barges, hmmm, been there done that, spent a summer fitting out a premade shell (the shell alone was around the £15,000 mark i think), high quality when it was done, but i'm not sure i would be in the least bit interested in living in one. Given you can move about a bit, but where is there to go to? I'd much rather live on a farm!
