Erin Doors finishes her working life today, she's taking early retirement. Advice here please:- Hi fisch . Mine is still young and retired but I immediately got her involved in The U3A and she is very rarely at home which suits me fine so I am still able to enjoy time with my mates ! |

Story from my past.
Worked for a company recently taken over by the Americans. Each Board member doing a presentation to our new owners and our own management team, part of our big welcome.
My bit, IT, always like to add a bit of humour to a dry subject. I mentioned that last night I slept with a grandmother for the first time ever. Laughter amongst my colleagues, bemused faces amongst our American guests. My colleagues knew of course I had just become a grandfather and of course the grandmother I slept with was my wife.
Once explained, they understood the gag.

On the same day, a former school friend (same class) on whom l had a great crush at the time (1965), advised me today she is now a great grandmother.
l'm still trying to deal with that.

I have loved everyday of not working.So many things I promised myself I would do,but you know how it is.Others control your life.I thought most I would be able bodied.
So what you can enjoy together will be the best time.

Erin Doors finishes her working life today, she's taking early retirement. Advice here please:- If you are also retired go out and enjoy your life together without any stress or worries. If you're still working get her doing all the odd jobs around the house that need doing!! |

Erin Doors finishes her working life today, she's taking early retirement. Advice here please:- My wife got her pension about 6 years ago. Aged 50. She still works! However I am taking next year off and travelling (Dublin, Berlin…). Maybe about 40 years too late for my gap year, but there you go. |

Don’t feel you have to be in each other’s pockets all of the time.
Hopefully she’ll have her own interests and I’d encourage her to do those on Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons 😬

I do sometimes derive some amusement from the thought that all those good-looking women at college, not to mention work, 50 years ago are now in their 70s, if indeed they're still with us.

I look at some of the beauties in the old films and think how sad it is they have aged.By george there were some beauties. |
