Retired.

[TWR]

Are you Retired? what do you find to do to occupy your self? myself, Deco, Valeting, walking, DIY, Garden.

[Prudie]

No and I genuinely worry that when I do I'll spend hours on AB, watch Jeremy Kyle and nap all afternoon.

[tonyav]

No TWR, don't know if I'll ever retire the gov keep moving the goal posts !.

[TWR]

I would not watch that person if you paid me Prudie.

[Psybbo]

Yes, wish I was still working, not enough time for all I'm expected to do

[TWR]

I held my Class 1 For a good while after finishing Driving Tony, I have now let it go, they do not want Drivers now they want Pilots, I find enough to do.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, Quizzes, Crosswords,AB, Card making, knitting and sewing when light is right, Toy making.


Then lots of time with the Grandchildren, four of them.

[tonyav]

Theres a lot of pressure on lorry drivers these days, TWR. The wagon drivers that come and go from where I work don't seem to have a minute after unloading or loading before there off on the road again.

[Hopkirk]

Well if they follow the rules Tony, they must have rest breaks.

[tonyav]

They probably do Hopkirk but they don't seem to have their break at our place.

Evening, Sweetie.....I retired very early because of MrG's illness but since I have been properly retired I have loved every minute....

I have a wonderful circle of friends....real, fun and caring friends....I joined an adventure club....have lots of hobbies.....and then there is the extended Irish family...who could get bored....

I hope I can skid sideways into my grave shouting...WHOA!!!! WHAT A RIDE.....☺

[TWR]

That's one of the reasons I called it a day Tony, I could see what was coming, there was a Depot in your area just off the Ring Road off the A38 going into the City, they said in our depot Nr Preston Lancs, that you could do 2 loads per night, my reply to that, if "you" can do it British Airways need you.

Mic and I are both now retired. We saved money all our working lives and envisaged spending winters in the sun. All that was taken away in the blink of an eye. The saved money is now spent on carers, convenes and pads. So my advice to anyone approaching retirement is to GET IT SPENT now while you can enjoy it.

I went into our local primary school to help with the children's reading, and stayed 15 years ( I wasn't retired,though,my youngest grandson who I looked after several hours a week started school and I was at a loose end) and it was the most rewarding thing I've ever done........

[Daffy6543]

Not retired, but virtually housebound. I play PC games, come in here, go on FB and knit/crochet for these people: http://www.knitforpeace.org.uk/ as well as make knitted toys for my family.

[TWR]

Hiya Gness, there's lots to do provided you space the jobs out, Monday Is Ironing day for me, then give the OH a lift if needed creep creep

[tonyav]

Thats crazy, TWR. Unsafe as well imo.

[gness]

I tend not to have a routine, TWR...think I spent too long responding to school bells.....but I do have trouble remembering what day it is....☺

[TWR]

Snap lol lol

I don't think I'll ever be able to afford to retire. Luckily I love my job, so don't feel like I'm working anyway.
