It all started back in March 2023 when I walked out of my Job. Yep after a heated meeting with managers, I just decided I don't need this in my life. Told the MD I was resigning , I went down to my desk packed up my things typed up my resignation letter emailed it to him, said goodbye to my colleagues ( who I might add where lovely ) and left.
Making this decision turned out to be the best one I made. That month anyway.
I haven't blogged before so bare with me I hope I will get better as I go along. Why have I decided to do this, well probably because I cant believe how my life is now unfolding and others must feel the same and I would love to hear from you.
As I left my job in March that was the end of my financial income and would have to rely on my husband to keep me. His reaction to the situation was as I expected really which was at first you will need to look for another job whilst not really bothering if I got one or not. He was due to retire in April and was gearing up for that, I on the other hand have another year before I get my pension.
My husband had worked all his life and had always been a bit of a workaholic so was considering maybe doing something part time.
I on the other hand I had lots of stuff I wanted to do so set about making plans. Doing a bit of woodwork, working on my allotment, sorting out the clutter that had been accumulated over many long years. Having mid week breaks now we didn't have to just go on a week end. At this point I will say none of the above have been achieved to any great extent, a bit hear and a bit there or not at all.
So hence the name Practicing for retirement, because that's how I am looking at it. I am just having a go at it, preparing for it before the real thing happens, or has it already happened ?
