Finally Retired completely due to dodgy blood pump!
Well went into work today and ended the Casual Contract I have had with Mercedes Benz of Derby for the last few years having worked as a driver full time from 2004-2014.
It has been a struggle this year due to ill health so have decided to call it a day work-wise. Mixed emotions but just need to make the most of my twilight years and try to do more of the things I enjoy. |

Doesn't mean to say that you're passed it, just another chapter in the great book of your life

Very best wishes for your retirement, you will not regret it. I've been retired for two years now and loved every minute of it.

Second stab at retirement !
Quote:
Now the wife works three afternoons a week so I am not on my Jack Jones all day. TBH I would like to have carried on for another year but my body would not let me. I now plan to do a few things that I have never had enough time or energy for such as Fishing and some light DIY. It was a huge milestone for me when I had to get someone in to fit my new Bath & Shower having done the last Bathroom & Kitchen refurbishment myself. Since I was 15 I have always serviced my own brakes be it fitting brake pads, brake linings, fitting a new master cylinder or new brake lines. This weekend I am getting a mate from work to do an oil service and fit new brake pads for me. I am now officially old! |
