    Oh yes, how is your mums job with the new owners?
    Did you say she was retiring at some point or did I dream that? :think:

    It's just the same as it was before, she is very happy with that.

    Well she is 65 in January but I don't think she wants to retire yet, she is gonna see how she feels in the New Year.
