I think so! just about! If I take off fuel, time and wear and tear etc. it'll be close. Then the added bonus of flexi-time, all days, office/home based should make it better I hope. I'm not expecting the security clearance to be a problem but apparently it can take weeks! I'm still getting my head around it! part of me didn't really think I'd get another job at my age! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojuRyu5 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Age should never be a factor, but your undoubted experience would have been. Really chuffed that you’ve got yourself sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy sugger Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I never expected to get back into work after the bowel cancer, so took early retirement and my private pension, but couldn't stand doing nothing all day so started looking for a job and I'm glad I did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonio Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Nice one @rennie! Clearance can take ages, but go and make the most of the next few weeks off before you start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Yes! that's the plan we're off in the campervan tomorrow! 1 night near sherringham then a weekend with lots of family in Diss including going to Roydon Soundwaves for the 3rd year running Then home for a few days then 5 nights away in the van again in Somerset I think ( lots of sites with no availability). I don't have an actual start date yet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
