Oooh something to look forward to!!

How exciting Kaz I have never been to Cyprus, but it all sounds lovely

[KateLMead]

Have a wonderful time.. You both might just decide to uproot and live out there yourself.. There is nothing left in this country worth working for "not even good weather"

[Kaz]

Kate I would like to retire to the sun, but we couldn't do it for years yet. We have both Mick's mum and my youngest to consider

Sounds lovely Kaz

we couldn't do it for years yet. We have both Mick's mum and my youngest to consider

Take them with you

[JoM]

How lovely!!
I've heard a lot of lovely things about Cyprus

[Kaz]

Couldn't Ton. D would never ever leave her house - too many memories of M's dad - and my ex wouldn't let me take Harry, and TBH he wouldn't want to leave his dad

It will have to wait - sigh

[Gal]

Oooo how lovely - hope you all have a smashing time

Mmmmm, retiring......*dream*.....

[Kaz]

Quite! Mick has 12 years to go yet!

[Gal]

By the time I get to retirement age they will have extended it to 70 I reckon

My brother and his wife are having a ball in their retirement, they're always flying off somewhere, as well as spending winter in Australia. I had in my mind that's what all retirement is like.....

[Kaz]

Yes it would have been great if I'd got my pension at 60 (only another 5 years!) as then M could have taken early retirement on a reduced pension with me making up some of the shortfall......no chance now as I won't get mine until 66

The days of retiring young enough to enjoy it seem to be over
