I have been working for the past 27 years and never had any breaks in employment and only 2 weeks sickness in all that time when I hurt my back really badly, and am just beginning a brand new experience - I have taken redundancy at work and am now planning to take a few weeks off to relax and do what I want to do!!! Do I feel guilty, no, thouroughly looking forward to it - should I be feeling guilty or should I be worrying? The money from the redundancy will keep me going for about 9 months.................................... So now I have got plenty more time to research my tree!!! Jayne |

Good on Ya!! enjoy your leisure time and do ALL you promised yourself you would do if you had the time. I remember panicking when I knew I was being made reundant/early retiired in 1989 and rushed to find another job locally.I live in Kent but was a London commuter. I did work again for another nine years and finally gave up in 1998 AND would you know the loss of earnings wasnt that a big deal ,I have pension from the London Job but I dont need as much moneywise as I did then as expenses are so much lower.no fares etc Enjoy your leisure time.

envy envy envy. I would love not to go to work in the winter. it is such a drag unlocking my bike and riding in the cold dark night . especially this winter seems to have been longer and colder. I would stock my cupboards full so I didnt have to go out for a couple of months. Dont mind working in the summer though as I know thats what brings the money in to fund my holiday...... |
