I would be to Mick if I sat down . Dog to walk daughter to collect from school , sharpen up ,dinner to cook ( have a shower whilst dinner is on ) . Count my blessings , there are far worse off than me I know .

Yes.

It's my back I'm getting worried about, it hurts like hell in the morning, okay once I get working but I wonder how long it last. Another seventeen years if the government have anything to do with it, they've pushed my retirement age up to sixty seven....

 

All my working life I've been looking forward to knocking it on the head at sixty five.....

Its my back i worry about also not good when i just turned 22 in july. Apparently i have a curve in my back which isnt spose to be there kinked to one side kinda thing, i was born with it apparently i only know about it because of a prolonged sporting injury stopped my cricket career. Had xrays, ct scans back specialist after specialist they told me finally that had a curve in it nothing can do about it i dont want back surgery partically! So i feel old at 22 only another 50 years and hopfully i can retire!!!
