Kitty - you will have years creditted from when you were a child carer. At one time it was 10 years, but could have changed since then. |

Jan, I retired several years ago and love it. I always say I wished I could have retired when I was in my twenties :-D |

Thanks Liz. I am fortunate enough to have an occupational pension, plus some money in the bank, so we shall manage. No state pension for another 5 years, sadly. We have been practising by saving most of my wages for the last few months. |

I shall, thanks! Will miss the money a bit, but it's just so hard, and your wellbeing is more important isn't it. |

Not at all. If you feel that way about work, it will be a relief to stop. ;-) |

It won't be much different in many ways, as I only do 2 6-hour shifts a week currently! But the feeling of impending doom as work approaches will be gone. I have resorted to crossing off the days in my diary, sad eh! |

I know nobody else is interested, but I am so excited - retiring completely in March. SO happy. I only do 12 hours now, but it's 12 too much! |
