Similar here, stopped but still can't help myself doing the odd job, but getting better at avoiding it!

Will be going away to avoid the usual circus but it's not the best time of year as it's too hot. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Mad absolutely mad, I've just been forced to spend 3 weeks sulking around the house, recovering from surgery, couldn't wait to get back to work. Gill definitely couldn't wait for me to "go and play elsewhere".

OK I was bored and decided to bleed the radiators, Gill was in the shower, boiler pressure drops as she is covered in soap suds - boiler cuts out so Gill ends up having a cold shower. So unreasonable some folk.
Hope never to retire, 4 day week would be nice though.
Having weekends and bank holidays off, but hoping to make up some of the lost hours by working 12 hour days for the three days between Christmas and the new year, and the week following the new year. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

The problem is if you retire early is that you are so busy you don't have any time for anything!

I don't know how the average person has time to work let alone bring up children if they have a family as well!

Now you know how the other half live!


Today I was cleaning a small part the attic, an ongoing task for the last 10+ years, at least I threw out half a dozen items which is the goal every time I go up there, rarely works!

Re measured the car sunscreens for rear windows to re cut as some of the first set were a touch too small.

Cleaned the garden (common property) as no one else does it!

Moved rubbish from the wrong bins to the correct bins as the young are incapable or simply don't have a brain! (looks like I have turned into a grumpy not so old bastard) Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I left my profession in 2000 (34) after 6 years studying/14 years working due to back problems Confused

Couldn't access my pension but had set swmbo up with her own business in 92 so had something to live on at least while I worked out what I should do next - still deciding Laughing

Swmbo finished 16th December and goes back 2nd January - I will be exhausted by then Rolling Eyes

I don't know how I found time to go to work with everything I need to do - started as stay at home dad, now renovating our 3rd house and next year building her 3rd business premises - I couldn't work for anyone again and can manage my back pain being the boss Thumbs Up Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
