Guest guest Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Hi Nikki Ummm - I think Jo meant in terms of needing to earn money to live due to numerous goverment cuts in state pensions, leaving people who are now within 10 years of retirement in a pretty dire situation!

Guest guest Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Hi Peter That is what I meant. If I could afford to live, eat and keep warm, and go out occasionally I would retire now - so would Colin. It's just too scary to think of the price of electricity/gas, council tax etc. Jo , " Peter " <metalscarab wrote: > > Hi Nikki > > Ummm - I think Jo meant in terms of needing to earn money to live due to > numerous goverment cuts in state pensions, leaving people who are now within > 10 years of retirement in a pretty dire situation! > > BB > Peter > > - > " earthstrm " <earthstorm > > Friday, February 10, 2006 12:08 AM > Re: Eating out > > > > Hi Jo > > > > I cannot blame you.

I'm sure I'll find something to do when I finally get round to retirement... I generally find that work just gets in the way of stuff I want to do!

Guest guest Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Hi Peter > Hey - no need to be cheeky :-) I swear I never touched you! And you better be careful, your Mum's on this group and I'll tell her! > I'm sure I'll find something to do when I finally get round to retirement... > I generally find that work just gets in the way of stuff I want to do! I think that I'll probably do some more volunteer work, spend time with the grandkids (hopeful), travel a bit, work the small farm/land I'll own (hopeful) and who knows what else.
