    enjoy those days off, i dont like to wish my life away but sometimes i so cant wait until i retire so that i can spend my days doing exactly what i want to do

  • I know exactly how you feel. I've always worked flat out and now my priorities are definitely changing :)

    I love having a day off now - in fact could do with more, but after March 2016

    I have more time off now than I used to as work have cut my hours so I only work part time. Looking forward to the day when I can be more choosy about what work I do. :)

    I'm up unusually early today coz it felt like it was half ten when it was only 6.55 ! and i didnt get to sleep until gone half one!
    working today-then one off. :D
    I've been paying bits and bobs of money into my savings account. But I've lost track a bit so I need to look online to see what I've moved where. :o
    I did move another £20 this morning. :) Problem is I'm on my tablet and my spreadsheets are on my laptop. :o
    Got to contact home insurance people today to get some quotes.
    Got to sort out a cheque I received in my maiden name coz I didn't update my details. :o
    Need to phone builder today for a quote
    Got a couple of items to post on eBay. I sold a few things yesterday. Still waiting for payments on some.
    DD1 is trying to decide what we can do with her bedroom. She has the box room and it's extremely tiny. She' too old for a high bed with under storage. She'd like cupboards on the wall etc...need to have a think about this. We could go for a tailor made but that isn't money saving so don't really want to go down that road if we don't have to.
