How quickly time passes.
Good idea to look into volunteering.

That’s what I was thinking Beanie…..I know a place I used to work had volunteers regularly but I’m not sure they are taking any in with covid.
Been to visit my SIL this evening…..now I remember why I usually leave dh to see his sister by himself 😂😂😂😂January spends - £587.581 -
Yesterday’s thoughtful day and feeling a bit meh with life has to be turned around into positive thoughts.I am doing good and have recovered well enough after everything at has happened in the last 4 years to enjoy life 😄😜👍I’m going out for lunch with a friend today. I should be going to SlimmingWorld but the new group isn’t hitting the mark with me. I miss the people at my old group and the laughs we had. I’m going to book a couple of gym sessions next week in the ladies gym. (The swimming pool is shut for emergency roof repairs) My physio gym classes have finished and I feel more confident I won’t do any damage to myself using the equipment after them - I’d lost my confidence big time 😁 Last time I took the bull by the horns and did gym sessions, tai chi and Zumba gold I ended up with a stress fracture in my hip….I’ll take it steadier this time round 👍
Right I’m putting the radio on instead of tv and going to tidy up before I head out 👍January spends - £587.581 -
Enjoy the lunch.be careful with the gym.
Just for your information I returned the ESA 50 on the 17th August. It was acknowledged yesterday. No further information supplied.2 -
Peb. I received ESA but fully expecting it to finish once my work pension kicks in….it will be over the permitted limit….not sure yet whether or not I’ll still get a small allowance as it is on a sliding scale I believe. I’ve sent them all the info so will have to wait and see what happens next.January spends - £587.581

I take my hat off to you milann - with all your adversities healthwise, you have coped admirably and have not let these stand in your way of enjoying life. ☀️You can take your time in deciding how you want to spend your retirement. I had a whole list drawn up pre-retirement but I'm taking it easy and enjoying things as they come up. The volunteering sounds ideal for you as you love children and are experienced in these matters, but take your time - there's no need to rush into anything yet.Enjoy your lunch and catch-up with your friend today. 😀Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
