    [Misc] Retirement

    Just started a new position at work and now have access to cashflow planning software that a lot of IFAs use, it's made me feel much more confident that I have been saving enough and may have enough to retire early, now working on scenarios to see how early!

    [News] New Year honours 2024

    I love a bit of XC, although a bit of a change for me this year having moved to a new club in a higher division I am now finishing 18th for my club instead of the previous 3rd so am no longer troubling the scorers. It might be the motivation I need to train a bit harder!
