    Enjoy your last day tomorrow GG, we'll be sharing it vicariously with you :j.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    OOOH last day tomorrow. How very exciting. We have some people in work taking er/vr at the moment, which is great seeing people leave happy.
    The benifit of retiring with you finances sorted, as you are, is that you dont HAVE to work. If you choose to do something, it can be something you WANT to do, not something you have to do. Then it doesnt even feel like work.
    Have a lovely/lazy last day. It should involve no work, lots of cake, and an early finish.
