Life is very fragile at times:thumbsdown:, sending a man hug. My dad is 71 and cant believe he is still going, as he's a grumpy so and so at times, I think its because he is a dragon and funded me buying my round. Take care. One of the areas I work, I have taking over a few houses that another windy had, he was only in his fortys and wasnt feeling very well, went to bed and had a heart attack, poor guy, seemingly a nice guy, so it feels a bit awkward doing his houses, as you kind off think of him cleaning them.

I wonder how much we would change about our working ways if we could see into the future, and see how much time we had left.

I have a strong loathing towards painting, worst job in the world, I would rather work in a office:rofl: Im going to pick up my youngest from his auntie n uncle tommorow, as supposed to be raining, so a day off tommorow, might take my seemingly rubbish spectrum resin back to the shop in edinburgh and see if they take it back. Ive got a broken unger ergotec handle to return as well, looking forward to not working, as had three hard days:zzz: No painting for me

Thats a scary thought Seye. I imagine many of us would make massive changes once we were informed of our expiry date. A few of us may be putting our feet up straight away.

on the other hand....i prefer not to know....ta..../emoticons/biggrin.png

There must be a certain point in your life when its wise or advisable to start taking it easier, if the finances allow. A time when you finally decide to stop chasing the cash and to take time off to rest, play, appreciate the simple things in life....like your garden, walking, reading....anything that floats your boat. What age would that be?.

I know the politicians want to see us grafting until 68 or beyond, but I will quite happily tell them what to do with that one.

i cant even get time to prune me tomatoes in the porch.....i will retire for two weeks at xmas....ahh not long now...

Contentedness is a great thing, is killing yourself to get a beautiful home and a top notch car really worth it in the end, if there is any advice I can give to the younger generation it is to stay out of debt as much as possible meaning they will not have to work so hard to make ends meet. Funny how the latest gadget was great at the beginning of the week but is **** now version 2 is out, slavery to the machine we all feed we can all get caught up in this, I could go on and on it bugs me rant over.
