Hi Alison, Do not forget that it is your life too when you retire. It is great to see and look after your grandson but do make sure you have time for yourself as well. I was lucky to have about 3 years of retirement before I started helping with my granddaughter. I love her very much and enjoy having her but it is tiring. I always told my daughter I would help but was not always available to help as I have a life of my own. So make sure you give yourself time for your crafts as well as having time for grandson. Enjoy retirement.

I'm hoping to retire at Easter next year and over the last few weeks I've started planning in my mind all the things I want to do, especially lace, as I'm not getting time to do any at the moment due to family circumstances. But I'm just getting hints from my daughter that I shall be expected to do lots of grandson sitting when I retire. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to dream on...
