I usually go for a walk some time during the day (and am now doing 2,000+ steps a day). If I choose to eat out I can - usually mid afternoon to get a table.
Are you married or in a long term relationship?!? 😉How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0 -

Boiler? Those old ones might be inefficient, but they can keep on going: good luck!1 -

So I would suggest that its the "being single" rather than the "not working" that lets you do as you please all day.
We are adults and we should be able to please ourselves, but it's not always that easy in a relationship!
I live with "Mr Rush"*... so lazing about being generally slothful, is out of the question....well at least until after lunch!!!
* Mr Rush is one of the classics of the Mr Men series IMO. (he's the purple triangle one!)How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)4 -

Retired 1st July 2021.
This is not investment advice.
Your money may go "down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... I got all tricked up and came up to this thing, lookin' so fire hot, a twenty out of ten..."6 -
Mr Rush is very unwise, as a sharp edged triangle he could really hurt someone if he bumped into them!Think first of your goal, then make it happen!3

Mr Bump does the bumping!!!
I'm sure my DH is related to him too!!!How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)3 -

We are also getting a new boiler as current one is 23 years old. Not sure what a decent price would be, 2500?0 -
