That sounds just great for you cathybird, early retirement should give you so much more time and so many more options to do the things you want. Hopefully you’ll still be willing to look after this for us!
(On that note may I please have a target of 30 for October, thank you.)4 -
Congratulations cathybird - so pleased for you and I wish you all the best in your retirement 👏👏👏4

Thanks all for all your kind words, they mean a lot, and this group has made all the difference in helping me get things better under control. Season of Mist, I will definitely be willing to keep looking after the totals
I will have lots more time to do it, yay! Lupus Lou, good to hear you keep track of the weeks in that way, it's definitely a good goal to work for

So glad for you cathybird 😀. Enjoy your retirement. X
I'll 'report' officially tomorrow but if I'm AF today (and no reason why I won't be) I haven't drunk alcohol for 100 consecutive days 😲! An alcohol free summer, unimaginable at one time.7 -
