Posted April 22, 20168 yr Started work as an apprentice electrical engineer nearly 49 years ago at the ripe old age of 15, been working for myself as a gardener for the last 7 years or so after getting really pissed off with the rat race, now as of today I'm retired. I've been reducing the amount of work I've been doing over the last couple of years untill it was'nt worth keeping my little van, so thats it no more work, feet up and relax and i can hear those country roads calling me already.
April 23, 20168 yr Make the most of it! My parents are absolutely loving their retirement - always off on adventures.
April 23, 20168 yr Well done mate. I hope you have a long and happy retirement.....If it doesn't work out you can get a job as a hairdresser, after all you already have the car for it Â
April 23, 20168 yr Glad you finally joined the club mate, been retired since 2000 and really can't remember what work was, your going to get bored at first at least I did, still get up at 7 O/Clock everyday but now I do what I want and a sunny day with the road calling makes it worth while. See you out there.
April 23, 20168 yr Moderator lucky you, enjoy your retirment and maybe start ridinmg a bit further seeing as you don't really need to get back for monday morning
April 24, 20168 yr Dont know if any other of you retired folk have this, but one thing perplexing me is that I have simply lost track of the day of the week. I reckon its down to the fact that doing stuff at the weekend was the only option while working. Now if I do that stuff in the week, I lose track of the days. I only knew it was Sunday today cos I looked at my Stafford ticket
April 24, 20168 yr Happy retirement Meatloaf. I've been retired two years now and I've been putting my chemical engineering background to the test. For the last two years I've been trying to convert beer, wine and whisky into urine. I'm getting there slowly but think it will take a few more years yet.
April 25, 20168 yr Moderator Ok, note in diary. Things to do when I retire? In 2038 if they don't move the dates again,jealous? not
April 30, 20168 yr Happy retirement meatloaf! Â Hope you have a happy and long one. My retirement is 2053, better boost up the payments so I can still build the bikes haha
