I feel a lot more chilled now I'm out the rat race. 80% of of the people I dealt with were unmentionables, and it was almost refreshing to meet a genuine victim of crime. The people I worked with weren't much better. Its lovely to be able to tell people to go swivel, although I've not yet had encounter quite worthy of that privilege, but I'm sure one day it'll happen.

A trip to the tip this afternoon, I've been sorting out in the shed and can actually walk into the shed now

You use a car as your shed? Your pension must be enormous!

I know a lady of retirement age, thing is her husband died when their 2 children were young so her life has been working to provide for her kids, she didn't have a huge amount of cash. Both kids are now grown up with kids if their own and no longer dependant on her so her life is her own, sensible saving, company and state pension so financially she should be ok, thing is, no hobbies and not much of a life outside work so when she does retire she may find it a bit difficult finding stuff to fill in her day. If you suggest joining a group/club she screws up her face and shakes her head 'not her thing', she may get very bored.

Some people are like that. We are all masters of our own destiny to a large extent.
