Finally did it. Handed in my notice to retire. 30th September will be my last day. I've done 50 years working, full-time, evenings and weekends so I think I deserve a rest.
@Baroness_Nichol Definitely something to think about, but going to take a break till spring next year. Will be the first time in many years that I can plan and enjoy the Christmas season. Have always worked till 6pm Xmas Eve and back in 8am Boxing Day.
Wow. Who knew there were so many lovely people on here. Lovely comments from people who don't know me wishing me a happy retirement and offering sound advice to help with the transition. I thank each and every one of you ๐
@HRouiller Mainly Retail Management, but done everything from working in a nursing home, boarding kennels, evening office cleaning and making gun cases for MOD. Anything to pay the bills and give my sons the best start I could.
@louisegm1 I work in a baby shop and we did Potty training courses. Girls can be bribed with chocolate buttons for using the pot, a ping-pong ball for the boys to aim for, learn from Dad, and make it fun x
