PaulaMc Nov 2019 11:08am, 2 Nov 2019 8,693 posts	0 PaulaMc We will struggle when we retire but I know it will have to happen at some point. I’d love to be able to do so whilst young enough to enjoy it but really can’t see it happening.
Night-owl Nov 2019 11:59am, 2 Nov 2019 33,190 posts	0 Night-owl Not posted in absolute pages Nick so sorry about your news about Jan. Make the most of the time you have left. I'm sure you will. I'm another unless a big financial win I'll be at work for many years to come. Also hated school think I was too quiet. Also hated p.e. though I did have a passing interest in this running lark.
Sharkie Nov 2019 12:06pm, 2 Nov 2019 15,295 posts	0 Sharkie Well I'm 66 and although I've taken my state pension I have to work too. Not as much as I did (forty years plus non stop was quite enough) but neither Raffo nor I do the sortof work that pays well - or pensions well. I'm freelance so am very grateful when something comes my way.
TeeBee Nov 2019 12:10pm, 2 Nov 2019 5,428 posts	0 TeeBee I to would like to add my sympathy to you and your wife Nick. Situations such as these really do focus the mind on what is important. I hope the two of you manage to live out the coming months in the best way ways possible.
Sharkie Nov 2019 12:25pm, 2 Nov 2019 15,296 posts	0 Sharkie Realising what Teebee is referring to I can only echo her well chosen words.
McGoohan Nov 2019 12:26pm, 2 Nov 2019 41,903 posts	0 McGoohan I've been wondering what to say without saying something flippant, but TeeBee has put it perfectly Nick. I wish the very best to you both.
PaulaMc Nov 2019 1:06pm, 2 Nov 2019 8,694 posts	0 PaulaMc Yes, TeeBee has also said what I wanted to say far more eloquently than I could. My deepest sympathies, Nick x
LindsD Nov 2019 3:49pm, 2 Nov 2019 30,508 posts	0 LindsD I want to also add my sympathies, Nick. Such bad news, but I wish you as many happy days as possible x
GregP Nov 2019 4:26pm, 2 Nov 2019 115,816 posts	0 GregP Nicely put Linds. I’ve just ranted on Smell. I feel fine, happy fit and healthy. My Apple Watch however tells me I am a stroke waiting to happen - or at least told me I have atrial fibrillation which amounts to the same thing. This has caused me a level of anxiety, not unsurprisingly.
