Work/ Retirement/ Life Balance ..
55 Answers
I'm sure there's quite some variation on here. Do you work, are you retired, have you got your life in balance. I'm interested, people log on at different times of the day/ night. How do your days pan out?

I work full time in an office job, and I write for music magazines in my spare time.
I do enjoy my job, but I am happy to say that, as retirement approaches, I am ever busier with writing, so at the moment it is a struggle to find time to fit it in, but I can look forward to filling days when I no longer come to work.
With elderly in-laws and five (soon to be six!) grandchildren, I will have plenty to do, and I am really looking forward to it.
A musician said to me over the weekend, 'You don't actually retire, you stop doing that and start doing this ...' and that is a great way to look at it.

I personally don't have lots of free time at the moment. I come on here when I have time to spare, might have a short nap after work. Weekends generally work out one day minding grandaughter, the other is free, but generally I go and see mum/ brother, shopping ect.. I will be seeing more of my grandaughter mid week for the foreseeable future to help them out. I can claw back personal time with holiday allocation, it's all doable.
I'm retired and also disabled with arthritis and other health issues. I spend a lot of time on the laptop with ebay taking up quite a bit of my time. TV also features but not as much as it used to, I would rather listen to radio these days. My husband still works so I spend a lot of time on my own, but I do enjoy my own company which is probably a good thing! Then it's nice to catch up in the evening with OH over tea.
I'm retired and so is Mr S .We often wonder how we found the time to go to work.
It's nice not to be ruled over by an alarm clock anymore.We find plenty to do and although I have mobility problems I can still manage to get from A to B although not as quickly as I used to .We live on the coast so it's lovely in the summer,weather permitting and I've got plenty of hobbies to keep me occupied plus the house and garden to look after.
I've become adept at turning a blind eye to things that I think I ought to be doing but which are not as important as I once thought they were.
Who cares if the cushions aren't straight:) We're perfectly happy with our life.
