Chuffed to bits for ya Nikki

Hoooorah.
Have you got a commute?

 

Nice Bonnie, will you still make the GMU ?

 

Nice to hear you have some positive news mate. Wishing you all the very best for the future

 

Congratulations Nikki, IT is like riding a bike, you never forget. good luck.....

 

Good on you Nikki if that’s what you want to do

But that w*rking thing ain’t for me

Hopefully see you soon.

 

All the best mate, sorry for your loss

 

Well done Nikki, give it 6 months and you’ll be wanting to “retire” again!

 

Happy "un retirement"
Be nice to just retire

At least you can still have your bike trips

 

Really sorry to hear about the fundamental reasons for your decision to return to work, BC, and do sincerely hope that it turns out well for you.

One of the great things about getting back into employment is that, with luck, a fair wind and a reasonable employer, you might have the opportunity in the not too distant future to elect to go part time or job share - or similar - should you find that retirement does have attractions that you might not have realised you were, at the time, enjoying rather than enduring!

I'm VERY fortunate that I retired from full time work but took up some 'part time casual' employment delivering high end cars to customers all over the country - more paid enjoyment than employment. This allows me to earn a little money, travel the country - though the shine does come off that a little when returning on our less than ideal train system - and meet some really nice people.

The important point is, I guess, that whatever you do it needs to be enjoyable to at least the same degree as your current lifestyle (i.e. you're not just doing it for the money or to get you out of the house ... or somesuch!) and that includes the commute!

Sorry, that all sounds a bit preachy - it's not meant to, honest! It's your life and I'm pretty sure I'm in good company on here wishing you every happiness, success and enjoyment from whatever path you choose! Good luck!

 

So a chance for a ride then, lovely. You seem to have it all under control as usual. Good luck.

 

Good luck with that, Nikki. Happy for you. And if you get bored on weekends give me a a shout and we could do a Sunday ride-out! Might give you a meal as well after...

 

Adie P, I did the same after I retired on medical grounds. Them a numbnuts manager tried to further her career by binning the workforce in N.I. and cutting the deliveries to about 2 a week by the new manager on his own! After a year or so with the budget end of the market, I'm ready to return to a proper job again
