well I retired over 20 years ago with dh. loved my job, but changes, I had to retire a couple or so years before I intended, so finances not of the best..
but hey,,, 20 lovely years,, could have gone on , but my dh died Nov. 12th... now I wish I had a job etc.. (I am 83 before anyone tells me to get another job) voluntary work? done some of that... but no one seems to want the elderly, think we all need phone calls? I am not good on the phone, don`t hear so well, but also don`t think it the best form of sharing time..
I would LOVE to find some people who would like a visit from me.... for coffee and a natter... I have car, but short journeys only
went to Age UK some years back, passed all tests etc.. and what a lot of .... never heard back from them.
just saying
