Retirement

Less than one minute read time.
Hi Everyone 2nd blog, must be getting good at this! Feeling good today, had a good nights sleep last night, only woke up once for about an hour so made some horlicks and went back to bed. Slept till 7 am. I had an appointment today with Occupational Health at work and have decided to take early retirment on ill health grounds and access my pension. This means that I will be able to do some of the things that I have been promising myself and my family for years. Was a bit upset at first because I loved my job and the people I worked with but we will stay in touch and still go for lunch once a week. Hey, I can be one of those Ladies Who Lunch now, how good is that???? Pity the chemo puts me off eating very much but you can't have everything in this life can you? Talking of food, I think I could just eat a pork pie so will sign off and go and get one from the fridge. Love Vicky

  • Hi Vicki. I got early retirement too last year and have accesssed my pension early.

    Was a pity in some ways as I was 9 months off retirement and was looking forward to my retirement do and for everyone to say how wonderful it was to have worked with me!!!!!!!!!

    Never mind. Saved me buying the drinks.

    Am enjoying my retirement now and still catch up with ex colleagues on a regular basis. Love it when it is raining or cold outside and know I don't have to get up at 6am again unless I want to.

    Enjoy your retirement and the pork pie.

    Love
