We’ve done it before, but the worst times are evenings at the golf club😬. We also need to drop many kilos before piling them on again cruising in a couple of months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original plan was to fully retire, but I’ve hedged my bets by going to a part- time consultant role with my employer. More free time & still some income maybe is a better option before relying on super. anyway we look forward to a simpler life 😁 Well done Neil and Tracey. Now you can travel a bit more, but remember.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in a bank for thirty years and on two occasions after I retired I went to my local branch on a Monday to find it closed - Bank Holiday. Doh! 🙄. I don't go to banks anymore but will have to soon as I have a lot of cash to deposit from selling a couple of bikes OR, I suppose, can do it at my local Post Office, do they still handle cash? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still make cash??? I constantly have to ask Mrs G what day it is, but then combine retirement with constant mini strokes and I think I have an excuse.

Rare lyndarra Posted July 7, 2022 #7420 Share Posted July 7, 2022 My first couple of years after retirement I'd be drinking my morning coffee on the back deck wondering if there was somewhere else I was supposed to be. Every day is a bit like Sunday. I know its Sunday because I get the Sunday paper delivered and I know it's Saturday because thye Newcastle Herald is on my driveway = weekend alert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
