>>seriously thinkin of going to the Bond route<<

Funny, was just reading this in a paper on relative returns since 1871:

"The 1900s have seen decades with low and even negative returns due to bear markets in bonds caused by rising interest rates from the 1940s to the 1970s. Bonds returned less than 1.0% in both the 1910s and in the 1950s. The 1860s were the only decade of the nineteenth century in which bonds failed to keep pace with consumer prices, but during this century this has happened in the 1900s, 1910s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Bonds are not good hedges against inflation. When inflation began to fall in the 1980s, bondholders received the strongest returns in 200 years, but few investors realize the strong performance of bonds since 1980 was the exception, not the rule. Bondholders, and not shareholders, have born the brunt of the twentieth century’s inflation."

1930s were the only decade in the last century in which bonds outperformed stocks. Just a little fun reading. ;-)
