Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi Yodama. Thanks for replying. I am trying to strike a balance between being active both mentally and physically whilst having time to be spontaneous when opportunity arises but also having recharge time. Not always easy!ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi. I was made redundant at 50 from a pharmaceutical company. I then ran a mobile dog grooming van for three years. Absolutely loved it, completely different to the corporate environment. I had to stop after three years because of back problems. We then sat down and did the maths and decided we could retire and one year on have no regrets. So what I'm trying to say is don't be scared of the redundancy. Take time to decide what you really want to do and give it a go, whether that be working or retiring.ViewDate:

Retired, with teenager at homeHi, I'm also a dog walker. i have also joined a walking football session. this specifically is aimed at the over 50s. it is a nice environment to get a goodwork but more controlled that 5-a-side, no contact, no tackling from behind etc. i love it. as commented above, i have also joined U3A and hope to take up the ukelele through them. Volunteering is something I'm also looking at, though I'm concerned about getting too involved and putting in too many hours or the role becoming stressful.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, officially I'm Helen but everyone calls me liz. I am 54, married and retired. Joined to make some acquaintances, expand my horizons and help us make the most of retirement. Have been retired a year next week and dont know how i ever found the time to work! The other other half is also retired and not in the best of health so I guess unofficially i am a part-time carer. We have a dog and a cat, i have the pleasure of taking the dog for a walk most days. I like to combine that with taking photos, though i am by no means a photographer. Other hobbies include cross-stitch and gardening. I'm hoping to learn how to play the ukelele and do some creative writing. So these, combined with house-keeping and maintenance, along with my weekly walking football sessions, day trips and holidays, seem to fill my time. We live in West Yorkshire. Hope to connect with some of you very soon. Liz -
