Retirement won't be happening for me anytime soon but I moved jobs recently to an organisation which seems more open to flexible and part-time working if I can ever afford to in the future. Enjoy your time together. My husband will be 72 by the time I retire. The aim is to be working 3 or 4 days a week so that we can at least have long weekends together.

Working part time is the ideal situation, keeps the grey matter ticking along and pays the few bills you'll have. You better slow down a bit though, everything will be done and you won't know what to do with yourselves. ;) Haha... on a small holding that never happens!Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-56506937879194275482017-07-08T10:17:48.470+01:002017-07-08T10:17:48.470+01:00JUST TO WISH YOU MANY HAPPY YEARS TOGETHER; HOPEFU...JUST TO WISH YOU MANY HAPPY YEARS TOGETHER; HOPEFULLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LOVELY DAD AND I Had.<br />Love you lots MUM XXXXXXXXXXX <br /><br />LOVE YOU LOTS MUM XXXXXXXXjoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872750366365019838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-40723759880674169002017-07-07T23:41:50.658+01:002017-07-07T23:41:50.658+01:00The Prof will never retire thank god!

It was a massive leap of faith but we were so fed up at the way our jobs had changed and for several reasons decided we wanted to retire. People said oh how will ypu amnage financially? What will you do all day? There are only so many pub lunches you can have etc etc etc...... Well almost a year later we are totally loving every minute of our new life after teaching and don't regret it one bit. Yes we have had to tighten our belts a wee bit and can't just spend money willy nilly but we are enjoying the new challenges and it has made us look at life, possesions and money ina totally new light. We have our lovely holiday home in North Wales to escape to when we fancy a break and have been able to potter about out of schoo, holidays for the first time in 34 years. We love it! Best of all we get to see more of our lovely grandchildren and families. Early retirement is highly recommended to anyone brave enough to take the plunge.
