Last night we heard that my husband's sister had collapsed and died by her husband's bedside. He is recovering from a cancer operation. Terrible shock for everyone.
Made me think..................... might retirement include more awful things like this? We all get older and of course friends and relatives do too. Dreadful thought

Wednesday's the day!
My working life has been long and very varied and has included:
and all that with only 3 'O' levels. Actually, now I've written that it looks like like I've done a lot.
So, I'm over 60 now. I've worked all my life and didn't really intend to retire yet at all. Sadly I have ME so the decision has really been taken out of my hands. My "official" retiring date is the 1st July - and that's only on Wednesday! Astonishing. Old people retire. I'm not old and I don't feel it either. Wonder if I'll feel any different on Wednesday? Hmmm...
- shop work
- estate agent work
- general office work
- being a mum
- painting lead soldiers
- making bows for chocolate boxes
- working nights in a children's nursery
- teaching assistant
- teacher
- deputy head
- headteacher
- education adviser
