Kewl Phil! Glad you're having fun mate. I've heard some find it difficult after retirement - probably ones without hobbies or other interests, unlike yourself.

Frig a dig dig - I have 15 years untill I can retire, but I ratehr suspect I will be dead before then.
Decided to ask the NHS pensions agency if I can stop paying my AVC's - they should then give me that back so that will be a nice lump sum of either a VW Beetle or Nissan Figaro.

:) alledgedly

If I live that long I will have to do something about my attitude to cash.

I'm afraid I've always lived for the day and if I had money either spent it or gave it away.

I need to stick hold of it a bit more [chin] :lol: :lol: :lol:
