@WuTwo I hope to retire in just over 3 years as well although it will be 3 years before the state pension so need to work out the finances. I’m going partially retired this September - dropping down from 5 to 3 days and really looking forward to it.He's absolutely lovely! Lucky dog to be able to be out and about with you so much.
Mind you my husband is retired and has our two with him almost all the time. I'm looking forward to my own retirement (3.5 years) and that's one of the reasons.

Umm!, fristy is a typo for frosty !!@kitedoc hope you had cheese on toast under that grilling! sounds interesting. I also want to know what 'fristy' means?
Just had bloods taken ready for my appointment in a few weeks, I had emailed my DSN asking what time the drop-in blood nurses station was open from, 08:30 was the reply, so I get there for 08:30 in a bit of a hurry so I'm not too late for work......the place is a ghost town and more annoyingly theres notice up saying the drop in is open from 8 'til 9am I eventually found some one to ask, just take a seat and wait your turn basically, wait for what? Oh the nurse to turn up! 10 to 9 I get seen..........
Morning all!
@Mel dCP as far as I am concerned biscuit bribery is the way forward for my students! They know it's been a bad day when I lock the filing cabinet where the biscuits are kept. (That's usually to stop the staff raiding them. The students always ask first.) Also, my lot work physically hard and wear off the effects, plus none of them (except some of the staff) are greedy either.
The other good thing about the biscuits being available has been being able to spot when there are students who normally are not greedy suddenly becoming so, and we've been able to get to the bottom of issues that they wouldn't tell us about necessarily (financial problems or lack of food at home) but would admit to if I sidle up and ask the questions carefully during the biscuit munching.
