ripon street Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 when I retired early from my job as a roofer I made a big mistake i have never been as bored! any suggestions?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRB Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 This is not a problem that I have experienced,because much as I enjoyed my work,I was happy to take early retirement to do things that I preferred. In my case it's sports,grandchildren,messing about round the house and garden. I had some vague thoughts about voluntary work,but 3 years on I haven't had the time or inclination to pursue this,as I'm too busy enjoying the freedom. I hope you find something to occupy your time other than day time tv or the pub. If all else fails can't you go back to roofing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WasThatWise Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Voluntary work can be interesting and rewarding, Sheffield Community Transport can usually use drivers, you can choose how many days a week you want to be available. They pay expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always stuff to do, golf, gardening, bowls, carpentry, creative writing, whatever you want to do. Perhaps you don't want to do anything? Age and retirement do not really restrict occupying your time although any physical disabilities be restrictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecky may not have a clue about politics but he's spot on there! If you're reasonably healthy how about taking up walking or cycling? There's some lovely pleaces to see in the Peak District for example and if you've over 60 you can get there on the bus for free. AFAIK you can get free bus travel throughout England so why not try visiting other parts of the country as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
