^^This if finances allow. It's an old cliche, but no one does ever lie on their death beds (or next to the bed of someone dear) wishing they'd spent more time at work.

BimboBob said:I gave up work a few years ago, paid the mortgage off, and did nowt for a while. I realised that I needed human contact during the day, you know the bit where all your friends are at work and you are at home staring at your garden willing up the energy to do something with it. My wife would get a constant stream of more bollocks than usual when she came through the door.
After 1 year I'd had enough and went back to my old job, this lasted until January this year when I got offered a part time postie job which I bit off their hands. 4 days a week, 6 hours a day contract, start usually around 8.30 and home by 1pm and still get the full 6 hours plus you can claim for overtime if you don't stop for lunch etc etc...
Means I now wake up at a normal time, push bike to work, have time for a pint after and still get back in time to run the hoover round and sort dinner out. Missus is happy to see me happy and I get to have some cash in my pocket as well.
No idea what I'm saying Ron, probably something along the lines of, get a part time job or you'll go nuts.
