I retired on December 28th after 25 years Lincox and I seem to be coping well as a house husband Though it's true to say I'd rather be working but I'm 69 and you can't go on forever, though I'd have given it a go The good lady wife and my son kept on at me to retire but in truth I don't feel "old". You'll find it very liberating pleasing yourself what you do all day, well after the list from the wife's been completed that is, usually about 20 minutes before she gets home from work Hope you have a good retirement L.

well I wish I could get out,,,,but I've been told not to wish my life away. it'll come soon enough I suppose but it shows how much the job has went down the pan when staff are wishing they were out of it.

Difference was Keggie was challenged and forced out, nobody is forcing Billy out, he called the election so if he wants out he can do one minus the green.
What's the specific legal position on this, surely we aren't that naive to sleepwalk right into this?
And as for the Keggie payment, what do you think paid for the boat?, he always did like his fishing.

There's the rub L, she's off to work and leaves the list to be completed to ensure you aren't reading a newspaper/book or heaven forbid, I'm sure you wouldn't go on one of those naughty sites

Not if you now subscribe to them.
I won,t be able to afford that on a pension LL, but I see that lovely Mr Osborne is going to give me an almost immediate pension increase of 2.5%, so if I dont have to hand it over to the Mrs, I might make an investment or subscription as you have put it.

Is that a 2.5% on the old age pension L or the increase from April when RM honour the pay increase?
It,s 2.5% on the state basic pension and if I am right if your state pension is higher than the basic because you have some earnings related element then that extra amount is enhanced by about 1.2%. So someone on the state basic pension will see an increase of about £3 a week.
Though it's true to say I'd rather be working but I'm 69 and you can't go on forever, though I'd have given it a go
