Bob!
Were all the Retirees and Prospective Retirees away doing marathons this weekend or something? Very quiet indeed! G I was at the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday, we lost after extra time and penalties. Got home at 11, had a 2.30 alarm set to get to Gatwick for a 6.30 flight for 5 days at our new place in Ciutadella de Menorca. First time I've been able to get over here since retiring at end of March, as was awaiting result of echo cardiogram before insurance company would allow me to travel. |

I LOLd today linked in sent me a Mail with jobs they thought I might be interested in. Top of their list was a job at the third party who make my current job almost impossible to do and are the key reason for me wanting to retire. Payday on Friday and if all goes to plan, only 14 more of those to go |

I would never work for them based on what I see of the way they operate and the demands they place on their staff.

This early retiree is currently motorhoming in Tuscany. Certainly beats working for a much larger income than I have now.

um
This (no longer early) retiree, fully qualified for some time now, has just booked 2 more non contiguous holiday home weeks in Cornwall & Devon in May for some more SWCP bagging. And a lot of time on the A303 and A30. |
