Don't forget everyone you can retire whenever you want...............................

but you don't get your old age pension (is it still PC to call it that? ) until whatever the offical date is.

Trouble is if we retire now and don't have any money coming in for the next however long...................... HOW ARE WE MEANT TO BUY CRAFTY GOODIES???? DON'T THE GOVERNMENT UNDERSTAND?????

OH retires from the Fire Brigade at the end of next year but he will probably either keep working for them as a civvie or get something else - he doesn't want to be a stay at home man.
