    How many days now??!!

    have a wonderful time planning what to do next...........or plan to do simply nowt- the choice will be yours and not inflicted by outside influences such as that four letter word: work!
    Enjoy

    My thanks, I've got three working days left, but am only counting two of them, as one is a Saturday shift, paid at overtime rates, during which I will mainly be cleaning my desk, and discharging the last of my patients.

    I'm having a week of doing very little after that, then we are heads down and working on emigrating back to the UK.

    I still have one more day to work, but that's tomorrow and a Saturday, so there's only 2 staff on, we're celebrating today.

    Nice that your very last day will be a bit more relaxed and informal, it's a good way to finish.

    Good Luck fatbeetle!

    Just completed several days invigilating mock exams at my previous school. I really enjoyed the experience. It was great to meet colleagues and students again. May do a few days supply in the coming months too. Also some extra pocket money for Christmas!!!
