    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.

    That's a good idea to wait & see :)
    My mum is in her late seventies & still works part time.
    She loves it:) xx

    My granda did not retire until he was 86 as a brickie and worked part time in council lol. My dad took early retirement at 60 this was due to mental health and that. Everyone is different :) As long as your mum is happy is the main thing.xx

  • Yeah she is quite happy just plodding on I think.

    She would go stir crazy without her work tbh.

  • Been sitting for the last hour looking at flats online.

    Ideally I'd love a house but know that's not going to be realistic on my budget so think I am going to go for a lower cottage or a ground floor flat.

    Having a look at some of the flats on the auction sites and some of them are not bad prices!

    Still need quite a bit more money before I am even going to be ready to put in any offers.
