Having been retired since April after being made redundant at 63.5 I am slowly starting to accept it. I know I will need to keep myself active mentally, but at the moment I am organising my self funded pension and catching up on a lot of jobs around the house that I didn't have time to do previously.

still works 5 days a fortnight but we will eventually buy a caravan (this means selling one of the mogs) and take some time to really see this great country of Australia that we live in.
There will be plenty of time for volunteer work and watch my grandies grow up. I think I have enough red wine stockpiled to grow old gracefully and I am sure my wife of 42 years will keep me on the straight and narrow with her to do list
