	I have no idea how I found time to work :-) nor why I kept on working for so long! yep, I did enjoy working, I didn't "have" to ......... but retirement is so much fun :-) Another tip we were given was to do all that you would like to do ............. travelling or whatever ....................... in the early years of retirement.. Don't wait .......................... 'cos you never know what is around the corner! The person who gave us that advice, had waited .......... but then found he was too sick and fragile to do what he and his wife had planned for so long :-(

	Enjoy your retirement Mr Paula - you've been given some good advice. I do agree that it's important to have some sort of plan. It's all too easy to slip in to the 'there's always tomorrow" syndrome. ;-)

	Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy both of you. You will love it but remember you never know how many more ACTIVE years you will have so get out and about whenever you feel like it. We didn't have the chance to do half of the things we had planned on doing when my late husband retired but we enjoyed what we had to the full. Good luck to you both. Wendy x

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 3,885 Send Message	Thank you so much everyone for your comments, good wishes, and advice, we have both read them through a couple of times. We already lead quite a busy social life at the moment will be going a couple of holidays and two weekend breaks. We will take it as it comes. However, we have already been asked to baby sit, dog sit, (not at the same time) and join my sister and BIL at their Villa in Turkey. Dear Wendy (TS). Both OH and myself have been in the same position as you,we are so lucky that we have each other now, life has been good to us, I think I am a little bit wary of making too many "plans".
