How Was Your Day? VII

Oh I got a hugh bunch of flowers just delivered to my office! Seems hubby can be romantic after all.

Well, I have had a very stressful year last year. Decided to move back to UK, get a job, place and all that. Had several job interviews but when I got there, was told that some jobs advertised as full time were not, permanent posts were for 6 or 9 months only, for one full time position I was told that depending on candidates, they might make the job a shared one. I got so stressed out that I decided to stay with other half who has taken early retirement and move to Spain. I would have liked to pay some more NI contributions as I still have a long while before I get a pension but rather than sit in a small place and pay all those expenses involved with setting up a new home in UK, I shall make do with a small pension when I get it and enjoy the Spanish sunshine in the meantime. Arrived midday today and sat with friends outside a bar in glorious warm sunshine and temperature of 18C.

The sun is shining here too but its certainly nowhere near 18c. Enjoy your early retirement in the sun. Can you not make a limp sum payment towards your NI Contributions?
