The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

I've just had breakfast scrambled eggs and mushrooms

Good morning people, another bright and chilly autumn morning, I've got a line of washing out. Yesterday I got the painting done, today I've got to size the walls and get the papering started.

Tip, put the paste on with a roller, way quicker than using a brush.

That sounds like a good idea.

Afternoon folks. Back from a 16 mile bimble. Quite cold and with a horrible head wind on the A470 on the way back.

Grass cut, Smart car buffed, lunch eaten. Wrapped up warm on the sofa trying to decide between Day Nurse or a double scotch.

Nice morning in Launceston.

Now in the Manor House in at Rilla Mill awaiting our Fish & Chips.

I handed in my notice yesterday and will be officially eligible to join this thread on the 1st October 2018

I also have 51 days holiday (plus bank holidays) to take before that date

As it turns out, the 1st October 2018 is a Sunday, so technically I’m still employed until Monday.

But the car, laptop, iPad, iPhone, various paperwork and the lanyard / ID card have now been handed in, so to all intents and purposes I am now a retiree.

I expected to feel elated, in fact I’m feeling really quite odd

I’ve got a fairly busy weekend planned (family birthdays etc.) so I’ll check back next week.

Well done and welcome to the fold. You will feel odd for a while i am afraid. It took me a month or so to get used to the idea of never working again and wondering what i was going to do with myself. But fear not, you will soon get used to it and will wonder how you found the time to go to work.

Cleaning your car should take you about 4 minutes.

YEAH…….if he does it twice

Beard was almost 3 inches long. Ran the clippers over it with a #4 comb. That's that job taken care of for another 6 months

Congratulations. I know the odd feeling. My weekends, especially Saturday, used to be very busy. I retired on a Friday, the next day I couldn't do anything, total lethargy. By the Monday morning I was completely in to it - fully retired and work forgotten.

Well I didn't get much done today, I sized the wall and got a roll of wallpaper up, stopped for tea and didn't get going again afterwards. Possibly a good thing though, I've got fiddly bits to do, in this house the chimneys are in a corner of the room and are a B*****r to do as theres all sorts of strange angles in them.
