    Guess who just finished her boring piece of writing? Yessss - it is meeee! And it sound rather exciting now actually. So I can be distracted as much as I wish and I can go to the gym for a hard session.

    I'm another one affected by the increase in retirement age (I'm 54) and I'm mad about it too! And I also walked out of my job last January, but I took early retirement which along with a widows pension is just enough to live on. Trouble is like a few others on here I have absolutely no idea what to do with the rest of my life, I just knew what I had been doing for the last 21 years wasn't what I wanted to do any longer.

    But you are an inspiring bunch and I'm hoping some inspiration will rub off on me :) (so forgive me for lurking)

    Funnily I'm not really bothered by the increase in retirement age. What will be will be is how I see it. But I want some control over how I fill in the time in between now and then.
    What to do.....................?
    I don't need to lose weight have always been sort of size 10/12 even size 8 when I was overworking lol so maybe just need to tne up a little.
    My list of wants is erm erm erm.
    Should be my list of needs not wants.
    What I have is a lovely family.
    The man of my dreams, the actual One who came along a few years ago.
    A home, a job, a couple of loopy dogs and an African grey parrot.
    But I want joy, a singing heart, fulfilment.
    Satisfaction that I have done something useful.
    I'm not interested in climbing Mount Everest, just to achieve............................something..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
    To stop being indecisive, to stop hiding behind excuses, to gain a little courage. Not to be afraid of challenges, oh the list goes on.............. if you see what I'm getting at.

    By being inspired by peeps on this thread I am going to start 69 day challenge on 15 December (after my December exams and before I need to start preparing for the next lot in June).

    At the moment the list looks like this:

    - Drop 2 dress sizes
    - Get organised i.e. be on top of cleaning, paperwork and mealplanning
    - Make a realistic plan on selling stuff that I have (needlecraft stuff and books) and then implement it
    - Make friends that feel comfortable to pop around and put the kettle on

    *feels so jealous for not having received invitation as yet to come and play...*
