Thanks very much for all your posts very kind of you to respond

Since the meeting I have felt a bit zombiefied a feeling I can hardly explain

Mind you, one thing you will find when you do retire (and it's a down side...!) is that those Bank Holidays you always looked forward to so much? They just become like any other day.

A more crowded other day when it’s best to avoid lunch by the sea, walks in the woods, trips to town, driving anywhere . . . but then there are all the real other days for that

Morning everyone, have a happy day.

A few spots of rain here too, bated breath: need more! Trying to remember the last time we had a bit of the wet stuff - oh hang on, it was back in mid June and it was torrential then.

 

[SueJB]

Chuffed!! Just got back from the MOT centre and my 19 year old Skoda passed again. Beep beep!!

 

[wolfie11969]

If you have, then it's cream cakes and sticky buns all round for the entire forum.
Or maybe not...

I doubt I have the luck to win the 'big one'.
And no, not a sausage on the lottery. Maybe I'm doing it wrong and need a Delorean to go back to the future

 

[wolfie11969]

Mmmm think I could squeeze in 2 or 3 of them

ha ha we buy a box and hubby eats the lot. Then he wonders where his stomach is coming from as it's on it's ever increasing way

 

[wolfie11969]

I have had my meeting with the Trust and have decided to apply for ill health retirement

My boss (Matron) was so supportive and praised the standard of my work and I’m glad HR took notice of her, Occ Health Doctor very understanding saying he would offer his full support as he is aware of all my conditions

So the process has started

Mixed feelings after the meeting and also right now a little bit sad

Hi @Cumberland

Retirement is fun, no alarm clocks, no people looking over your shoulder, no rushed lunches because you have a deadline to meet. And all that holiday time to do what you wish. And if you're still missing work after 6 months then I'd suggest you look into giving your services as a volunteer just to mix with people again and to feel valued.

I love being at home and I do wonder where I found the time to go to work too. Now I spend my time reading, and shopping hee hee. Oh and the beauty salon to be titivated.

Enjoy it

 

[wolfie11969]

Well I've been up and out, taken the stepson to the train station.

His mother phoned him at 11.30 'where are you? I'm at the station waiting'
'Mom I'm getting the train from here at 11.30'
'Oh I'll wait then'

Woman definately has no brains. The past few times he has got the same train so why would today be any different?

I'm not doing a fat lot today. I cant be bothered. I have washing to sort and put away and a small amount of ironing to do. Other than that I'm going to finish my book, play my online game and have a shower cus hubby taking me out for food tonight. We're off to a local Indian restaurant and I will be having curried seabass with new potatoes and spinach, yummy.

Enjoy your day

Personally, I'd choose a working TARDIS...
