    Ooh - a countdown! Nearly as satisfying as a to-do list!


    I can only manage a cup of tea or a glass of cola but I will definitely be drinking to you and your future happiness, AC, so will watch out about 5-ish (if I can tear myself away from The Chase).

    I never drink coffee but today at five I am going to celebrate AC's freedom with a coffee :beer: and maybe some chocolate ;)
  • Wow! Thanks for inspire me to do part 2 .
    Don't know when to close part one and start the other :)

    Anyway, things that have happened : strange looks from people who never understood me . A leaving present of 2 large bottles of jack Daniels and a box of chocolate truffles. , complete with card .
    People who don't normally say much to me ,all of a sudden making a fuss and being nosey .( I was gonna tell them , I'm buying a place in Calais )
    My boss is leaving at 4 pm. Wished me all the best and shook my hand.
    My colleague keeps phoning me ,and texting me and being ignored.

    Important : Got an email regarding the d&b booked for next week.
    They will take the full amount now.Next week I have to pay additional £150
    Deposit. This gave me a heart attack. Had to give one of my brothers a call
    had enough just .Had to get to the bank to check

    Brothers friend will do the move next thurs. He's gonna get a large van.
    This could be really expensive .Then again ,if he's doing it , at least the jobs done . Doubtful tho if he can do a rubbish run. I will start tomorrow and. continue all the time .
    Tomorrow ,i should put deposit on storage . .
    Things are officially mental:)

    Thought of you today AC and by now you will have left, did you do a massive 'yippee' as you walked out of the door for the final time or did you stick two fingers up hahaha :-))

    Wishing you the very best of luck with your move & new life, I'm sure you'll keep us all updated, to be honest, I think you'd be tracked down if you didn't!!!

    Thanks lady:) I will do as I'm told .
    One dept made a big fuss of me around 4pm. Almost like giving a speech.
    I told them they are the best dept (which they are):) The i t woman sitting
    in the office wasn't impressed .she has all charisma of Katie price,and thanked me for saying that .
    One woman ,in another department was told by me ' he is no.1 I'm no.2
    Basically telling her she is full of pony :)
    Most didn't bother with me .Finishec with my boss on good terms.
    A couple of staff have my email address .a top director made a fuss of me.
    I like him


    So ,it's over !:)
    Just the Money stress and moving stress to come ..
  • Well done, you.

    Now to your new life. Enjoy and keep us updated.
