The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Very grey here. Have to sort car insurance out. Next is the soil pipe problem to try and sort.
Then off the the cinema for the afternoon showing of Bohemian Rapsody (i am being dragged there).
Then over 60s meal deal at the pub....2 courses for £4.50 (i am not being dragged there )

I might venture out to the pub some time later on, around lunchtime.....

We are having a new gas stove installed today. I will need to get my cheque book out later. Ouch!!

In the office today to agree my final leave entitlement with my manager. Now worked out I have a maximum of 38 w*rking days to do here. Can reduce that by making up some flexi time.

For the last three years of my working life I had a spreadsheet on my lap top with all holidays / weekends factored in and it knocked a day off every morning when I logged in to show me exactly how many working days left.
The day it reached zero was one of the best days of my life!!!

I like to drop into this thread from time to time just to remind myself that there is an end to the drudgery of work. Still more than 250 working days to go

I did much the same for my last year at work - ticking off the days on a wall chart in our office. It drove my boss mad! My how I larfed.

Chin up matey.
This time next year you'll be as smug as the rest of us.

I print off a fresh picture every day of something that contains the number of working days to go and pin it over my desk, here's a recent example

I has so no walk today, have to play on the turbo in the garage, or I could do nothing

Wish it was but as I'm partially retired I only w*rk 3 days a week so 38 w*rking days takes me into February.

In that case, just in time for Easter!

Swim done, mates visited, one car washed and one to go.

Good news - my medical at the Docs went well. BP 117/78, pulse 42, respitaration 12. I'm grossly overweight, but the nurse has listed me as a 'body builder', which sidesteps that one - my waist is 15" less than my 53" chest, so it's not a lard problem.

Not so good - acute subacromial tendonitis. Tabs, tabs, glorious tabs for now, but injections just around the corner. Yippee.
