The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

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.

Good luck. I hope you enjoy your retirement.

What sort of business?

What sort of business?

Possibly small job plumbing.Not worth paying all the fees and exams for gas registration but hopefully can pick up odd jobs leaks, bogs that dont flush etc.

Only wish to work about 3 days per week max.

Blimey you do that on this section and they will be saying you have not retired. Great idea and with some advertising and a quality reliable service should take off.

Well maybe 2 and a half days

Too bloody true mate - don't want any closet workies infiltrating this thread!

Beautiful day here in North Devon. Off out for a steady 20 miler with missus. Nice cup of coffee at Fremington Quay should hit the spot.
Taking the doggie for a stroll along Saunton Sands afterwards, then a spot of lunch somewhere nice.
It's days like this that I pity the workies.

Been out to give the car a quick wash and leather, get that nasty corrosive salt off it. Then it started to snow.

Playing around in my nice warm workshop, well I was until I stopped for a coffee, once this is finished I am going back to do some more playing in my nice warm workshop. Being creative, I love it.

That is another dent mans attempt at a repair.

I'm going to be taking my good lady for lunch shortly, our trip to the local club has been postponed as my Good Lady doesn't feel up to it. But she is getting better and has improved a lot since the weekend.

They get it inland and up on the moor, but very little on the coast.
