I am 62 and have worked since I was 16 and have always been in employment, and only once have taken more than 2 consecutive weeks holiday. My current job pays well and I must enjoy it - I am currently out of the house for 14 hours Monday through Friday, but never ever work at weekends.
The company I work for is going through (another) reorganisation soon and I have made it clear that if there are to be redundancies, then put me at the front of the queue! I am only really being greedy, because my pensions will keep me comfortable, but it would be nice to go with a pay-off!
It's at this time of life you really could use a crystal ball to see the next 15 years!

It's a new day, It's a new life........
Thanks for all the good wishes and advice guys
I survived the leaving party and up bright and early
Day time TV definitely won't be a problem and I'm always pottering about doing something (can't sit still for long)
Like a few of you have said I'm looking forward to taking my time and not having to squeezing jobs in at night or at week-ends
My wife has finished as well
We live on the edge of the Lake District (20min drive) and to my shame haven't really explored it
We tend to stay away because at week-ends its full of you guys
So looking forward to some mid-week walks
One of my leaving presents was a 'Triple Super Car Blast' at Oulton Park. Has anyone experienced these days and got any advice?

Hi Smartbear
With my package I can choose 3 cars from the list below (assuming they are all available on the day)
You get 3 miles in each
Lambo Galliardo, Ferrari 360 or 430, Aston Martin DB9 or V8 Vantage, Ariel Atom, Audi R8, Nissan GTR, Porche 911, and a BMW i8
My thinking at the moment is Lambo, Ferrari. Then either Aston or Atom
I think it will be all over far too quick

Totally agree with the above commentsCrazy Harry wrote: ↑Fri Jun 29, 2018 8:13 am Well done
Took me about a year to slow down and get used to retirement - you'll love it
Stay away from day time TV it'll stop you doing anything - in fact I didn't even go into the room with the TV during the day when I was at home on my own. Now my wife has retired there's definitely not enough time to do all the things we want to!

Hope you guys have long and happy retirements.
A few years left to go for me, 60 next year, so maybe 3 or 4 more before I've had enough.
All the best, Dave

Retiree with ten years experience!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.
