    Denise I am definitely jealous... I would love to retire. OH took very early retirement... aka following his dreams which means that I will be working until I drop!

    I do have to ask why on earth are you drinking just cool or warm water? I assume it is due to here tooth, rather than some strange health kick!!

    Not allowed anything other than cool or warm water for 3 hours after the tooth extraction! Definitely not some strange health kick, LOL!

    My early retirement was only because when I took the job on way back in the 80s the retirement age for women was 60 so even though my state retirement pension didn't kick in until I was 62 without my very expensive train journey to work (back in 2009/10 it was over £2,500 a year!) and eating at home rather than at work, being a bit more :money: we could manage with just my work pension and DH's wages. He wasn't very happy about having to work to 65 though as our original plan had been to both retire at 62 but I was having problems at work which HR wouldn't sort out so I left as soon as I could.

    Sounds like the perfect response to issues, and your OH will benefit from you being at home and taking some responsibility for the house from him. My OH does our housework etc..... well if I am honest he tickles it (so I do the deep clean), he hates shopping (so I do this) and has no idea about finances (I flipping do this as well)......:o:o:o
