Martyr that I am, I covered the Christmas week, so I've got the rest of this week off.
The Plan -
1 day garden (today)
1 day allotment
1 day mixture of the above
1 day going round all my favourite garden suppliers
There, that just leaves the weekend to sort out!

gawd I was tired this morning. Worried about waking up so slept very badly, last check of the clock was 5am ! I stumbled around the bedroom once the alarm clock went off (of course fast asleep by then) and nearly fell over in the bathroom. Goodness knows how I managed to keep my eyes open during the drive to work - I was sure I was going to have an accident.
Fortunately not much going on at work today (boss on holiday for another day :D ) so able to ease myself in gently (although seem to have cultivated stoopid gene whilst off, couldn't remember dratted passwords)
-
I've got another day off, and just as well since I'm still not well. Back at college Thursday.

Oh, you poor souls - now are you sitting comfortably? OK, then let me tell you about retirement............. It all starts with just that - sitting comfortably, with a cuppa, with a biccie and with a pile of seed catalogues listening to all that nasty wind and rain ::)
Truly it is wonderful and just remember the harder you work now the more you will appreciate retirement when you are lucky enough toget there ;D ;D
-
>:(
The way thinkgs are going, they'll have abolished retirement altogether by the time some of us get there!

I retired 10 years ago, never again, bored silly. So I gave it up.
I had to take early retirement due to my knees, shoulder and hands not being up to the job. 9 months later I was seized up so I started doing a bit of gardening again for exercise. Started working again and gradually got better, although I do ache all the time. I think it is a classic case of 'use it or lose it'. I am registered as disabled but I do not claim any money or special treatment.
The old girl is always shouting at me to take it easy else I will kill myself. My reply is that will be a better option than being stuck in my armchair.
-
Given up my regular job to help Bearded Wonder when required.
Renewal notice for my public liability insurance came today- I had the greatest pleasure throwing it in the bin. ;D
-
Got 33 years before retirement. So I'll be sticking to the grindstone till then and burning the candle at both ends. Might ease a llittle when the kids are fully grown.
-
Oops. Retirement doesn't have to mean slowing down and boredom. Especially for those of us who had sedentary jobs which were pretty boring retirement is a release and a time to be more active!
Ace, can appreciate your situation - similar to that of Mr W - and like you he completely ignores my gentle words of remonstration and just gets on with things - thank goodness!
