Good luck :y

You will have no regrets though you maybe sad to say goodbye to what and the people you know. Plenty of other opportunities out there. I have a friend who left the NHS full time. He now has three jobs including usher for VIPs at home footy games. He couldn't have contemplated those three jobs while he was in full time employ.

A number of my work colleagues have taken early retirement over the last few years-some with plans & some without and all have no regrets. I hope things work out well for you.

Thanks for the comments guys, my GP told me that there are a lot of people my age doing the same, retiring early but then taking on some less stressful roles, which is my plan..... ;)

Paperwork completed on one job offer this morning, got home to find written confirmation of a verbal offer last Friday, a Hertfordshire company based just a few miles away from where I worked when in Hertfordshire, but working up here. This should come with 20 core hours per week during term time + other work available during school holidays, they are just waiting for Middlesbrough Council to sign the contract........... :y :y

3 more applications in, one interview next week. All these are zero hour contracts, except the 20 hour, which is hopefully going to happen, so I see myself either in great demand or no work at all, in which I have 2 fall back plans of guaranteed part time employment. A little bit scary but really exciting at the same time.............. :D :D :y
