I know a few people currently doing this, as they are still paying mortgages etc. Unless I am absolutely brassic, I shan't bother doing the 10 hours a week. Most NHS ward work is frantic due to lack of staff, but that kind of work, night shifts and running around like a headless chicken is for young people. I am starting to find nights increasingly difficult and I'm only 36.
FACT: All pensions are taxable, and your NHS pension will assure that your OAP is reduced accordingly. Mine as well!!!
