You’ve got this wrong, you don’t need an income with your pension pot and pay off. You just need to work the figures out. Start thinking like a retired person not an employee that needs a job

Only half right. There’s no point working for bugger all reward

I agree, can the working for nothing and concentrate on making the pension work you’ve got the funds

That's something that needs some consideration on how and what and when.... but can't really do that until we have some dates to work with along with a house move.

Maybe buy an awning for the van and do a mobile service.
And set up at race events.

I was thinking something like this, nice and simple. Then contact info, Instagram and Facebook info etc.

That sort of says “EWO.” Is that good?

It's looking likely that the Tesco/Waitrose/Something delivery guy will be the option, it's only something i'll need/want to do for a year and it'll give me the flexibility to be able to do the more fun stuff at the same time while topping up the final year of pension money etc

It won't give you any flexibility. Unless it's changed since I left the shifts aren't on a rota, what you sign up for is what you do, and it's usually the shit nobody else wants. I worked Saturday night, Sunday afternoon with a few random things in the week. The people that have been there years have got all the good shifts and pretty much work 9-5 Monday to Friday. In lockdown it wasn't a problem as there was nothing to do, once stuff started to open I found it quite restrictive, but I'd sold up and left the UK by the end of 2021.

My SIL is making some big adjustments finished his army career leaving as the regimental srgt major of 4 reg, Air Corps, glowing career now working as HSE at a mine in the North east ( the one that has dark rooms under the sea 2 miles out and a mile and a half down) looking for dark matter or Nutrinos or something like that, interesting..... if he gets into that stuff though. He's finding the fact its no longer his train set a little frustrating.

Nutrino is a good name for a new chocolate bar .

Could make Weeksy a millionaire by this time next year.

This won't be a forever thing, it'll be a short term thing for 12-24 months and if the hours don't work, i'd leave and find something else. Simple as that really. I'm fortunate in the context that i won't be eating beans on toast for my only meal per day if i don't work. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice to have some more money for the nicer things in life and Ebikes and stuff. Some peoples bad hours for example are some peoples good hours If i'm starting at 6am and finished by 1pm, that's a win for me, but a disaster for some other people. But as with all roles, i don't really know until i get deeper into it whether this would work or not.

LOL the Mrs does plenty of hours and earns well. This is in a lot of ways very much a 1st world problem

Dog walking/dog sitting. Up here in bronteland I see a least 6 vans advertising dog walking services.

I know one guy who clears £100 quid a day cash in hand. Maybe something to think about. Up here plenty of moorland and you might the chance to bump into Kathy or heathcliffe whilst having a stroll

not really into dogs... or any other animals in truth... I know in many circles that's a weird thing to say, but i'm just not really a dog person.

Keep to the road. Stay off the moor.
