taxman Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Best wishes and I hope I never see you posting on here again. Because there are a million far better things you could be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey19 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It is the start of a new life when you finish work, it is surprising how quickly you put it behind you. I started doing my family history when I took redundancy and found it fascinating plus I met new people and it gave me the incentive to visit different places. Try going on coach day trips to places you haven't visited before. Get in touch with old friends who have also finished work. Three of us go out for a drink together, we first met as 5 year olds at primary school and now are the 3 old codgers sat in the pub ! The main thing is to enjoy life.

Mrs Overall Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 My hubby retired in Feb this year, he's found enough to do but he still hasn't got used to it. When he was at work he had a routine, well that's all gone to pot! We've been married 43 yrs, and all that time he's worked, I'm just finding out now we do need a rest from one another, he's now driving me mad, Victor Meldrew has some serious competition... Enjoy you retirement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarissa Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 May your retirement allow you the time to do the things you love to do and avoid the things you don’t like to do! Happy retirement, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F. Sidebottom Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hope your first day of retirement went well Pete. An old friend (well former boss) of mine who I meet up with a couple of times a year for lunch told me his life had never been busier since he retired (early 60's - on medical grounds due to a triple bypass). He does things a little slower now, and it was quiet to start with, but his days are completely full now - he's enjoying it immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girocasher Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 You are now Back to the days when you was a child, I can just imagine you sat in the garden drinking water from the garden hose and eating a bread and dripping sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I hope you're relaxing and taking each day as it comes. My OH loves his retirement, he never thought he'd make it after twice having open heart surgery. Enjoy the opportunity to choose what you do and when - and remember to keep taking the tablets!

Pete Good for you, enjoy it. Your post count at retirement is 7750/3 years = 2500 ish a year Be warned. If you have 10,000 posts by the end of the year I'll be getting you banned and you can go and play outside till suppertime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
