With people who are 'mad, bad and dangerous to know'... oh... maybe I should have voted 'forumming'
I voted other...dogging wasnt on the list.
you don't have to wait until you retire, make time for it now.

Teabagging.
I would like to spend my retirement crusing around the world. But, by the looks of things I will be Teabag folding. 
teabag folding is nice. well, it always looks nice on QVC. 
not so sure about teabagging.

I think I'll join the teabagging club. 
Breathing.
Lazing about on the computer drinking tea.

I might spend mine finishing that painting for Pris. But he'll probably be dead by then.
Outrageously 
'When I am old' by Jenny Joseph
WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

playing with my grandweans
I`m in the throes of my retirement now and still don`t know how I`m going to spend it I give myself big ideas of cruises and holidays but it`s quite hard now I`m on my own, I wish I had the confidence to go on these single holidays, as it is I spend my days reading and on my laptop

cruises look rubbish anyway, it's probably for the best.
