I would have thought it was already covered.
The point was, that anything about finances would get lost in all the other comments here, now the thread is 94 pages long, and people are posting about many other aspects (as derrick has just done).
As the OP in the other thread has a specific question, it will be easier to discuss in its own thread.

There have already been several discussion within this thread about finances. It was not thought necessary to start another thread for those. I don't see why this new one is any different.

Got in my first bike ride for a week today, 56 miles out to Wellesbourne Airfield , not a nice morning for a bike ride, I was a tad damp when I got home. Yoga and housework for tomorrow.

Last day today!

I've been working 1 day per week for most of this year but finally decided enough is enough as we weren't actually achieving anything, and whilst the money is good the demoralising effect just got too much.

So here's hoping at 56 that I can now find enough things to fill my days without emptying my savings

You'll be fine.
In a couple of months you'll wonder why you ever went to work.:smile:

Well.......done it again.
Friday is fish and chips down the local. Get undercharged every time.
Today.....3 pints and 3 halves of Exmoor Gold (£3.80 a pint), 2 x F&C = £20.40.
It's always £20.40 whatever we have!!!
Not complaining, mind.^_^

From April fools day next year (quite apt) I will be one of you lot ☺
Bit scary but have done sums and we can survive and have enough to enjoy life just...

Seen too many in my line of work not get great retirements so I am taking the hit and going at 60.

Worked out we can live ok but also intend to run a part time business to keep brain cells alive and increase income.

Havent slept building up to telling the firm now Cant wait.:bicycle::becool::cycle::cheers::cheers:
