Tell them to koff.
Your mum is (as always with mums) the priority there, not some cocky yoot with the rest of his life in front of him.

I've got mushy peas in the cupboard, might have to buy the rest and I'll see, I will let you know if I try it, could be a while though, I am a procrastinator of the highest order lol
Ah but retirement, at least for me , isn't about doing nothing DGLC.
It is about have plenty of time to do what you want , what you enjoy.
Personally I still like structure to the day / week so most days I will go to the gym first thing and then go from there.
Apart from the winter I will do plenty of gardening.
In winter I read a lot.
Throughout the year I volunteer at our Animal.Rescue and help out when I can.
I still like to play competitive sport.
The one thing that I avoid in retirement ( apart from Christmas!) is just vegging out on the sofa.
I'm sure that you won't regret a decision to retire.
I'm utterly hopeless at DIY and I don't get too much from it. Probably do a bit of voluntary work somewhere. Assuming I don't need the money!

He says he's retired for 4 days a week and that is enough for anyone lol
From a man who will almost eat anything you would stretch my limits with that one ,I would eat it though ,growing up we had nothing but the best lesson I got from the hardship was to eat all put in front of me. I also never throw food away .
How do you cope with a substantial reduction in daylight in winter in Finland blue?

He's not wrong, it's really tedious being home all the time, although I appreciate he's in better condition then me haha not hard, my dad couldn't retire properly and had to keep busy.
Indeed, I was only jesting about doing nothing. And doing 'nothing' for me is indeed reading, dog walking, cycling or walking. So not just idle. But I know what you mean, something extra with meaningful engagement is important.
I think you will be surprised by how much less you can live on as you lose so many expenses that you had when working well I did as I still travelled to work but today it is a little different I suppose .
Yeah, provided I've paid off the mortgage I'll be sound I think. The missus, however, wants a bigger house. That's fine, she's younger than me and can pay for it ?

Mum tells him to pack it in and he says there's not a chance he's sitting at home with her every day while he can still escape. lollollol
The secret of a long and happy marriage
Good morning all on this clear and bright day today .I hope all slept well ( @Terrarian excepted ) and have a safe and healthy Christmas eve , eve .
It is Christmas here tomorrow as Santa needs to get an early start for the rest of the world so the ham is in the oven for the next many hours and the wife's sister and husband come for dinner .they are nice people and one of the main reasons I thought I could make it moving here .

It is strange as so many downsize at retirement age but we moved recently and given we wanted an indoor pool for my wife's rheumatiod arthritis we ended up in the biggest we ever lived in !Yeah, provided I've paid off the mortgage I'll be sound I think.

Too late for you to change I suppose but I remember the first nail I knocked in and it bent before my father straightened it for it to go in .I don't think anyone has a special DIY gift ,there are some like me that won't give up and from that I will try anything .
If you don't get a sense of achievement then I understand and agree but you will find loads to do ,a friend of mine thought he would try bridge and ended up with another woman and a hobby he played almost everyday ,had no more time to garden and it changed his life .
