      Congratulations! I wish I could retire at 52 - I'll be lucky if I can retire at 82!

        Well done, I'm 62 and got at least another three years ahead of me before it becomes possible.

        Good for you,:blue thumb: I'd give up now if I could go three years with no income.

              Wish I was, my knees didn't hurt and my back was reasonable then, it's odd how it creeps up on you and one day you just think you have had enough.:biggrin:

                Can you retire a couple of days early so you can come to the show? :snorky:

                  I managed better than that



                  Just throw a sicky for the last few days.                   Save a day or two's leave to use then.

                            I retired last century but am still too busy :hate-shocked: But I'm busy doing things I want to do. :thumbsup:

                            You need to keep busy and I'm sure you will. Congratulations. :hapydancsmil:
