    good luck with the last day and all the other days afterwards
    Thanks markman88 for the good wishes
    Yeah, hope everything works out well for you DIA
    Different times now . I wonder how many people actually do stay in a great job for 20+ years these days and get a gold watch etc.
    I think those days are gone for most .
    Life is one big wind up these days .
    Anyway enjoy your final day and rest of week ..:)
    Thanks for the good wishes AC. I still have Friday morning at work left but yes different times are on the way for sure...

    Thanks beanie.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Well done on securing that table DIA - what a bargain! I hope you're enjoying it even more because you didn't pay full price for it :)

    I hope you manage to enjoy your last morning at work tomorrow before the next chapter begins. It's a big change for you, so natural that you have mixed feelings.

    Your spends on going out with a friend resonate so much with me - when I'm out with friends, all sense and money savviness goes completely out the window. I throw money about like it's water and it's borderline ridiculous. However, most of my friends have about 20% of the commitments that I have so it's not so big a deal to them. I need to start reining myself in and thinking about the knock on effect. But at the same time, living and enjoying the fun. How to strike a balance? I have no clue. If you find out, let me know.
