    I actually have something to celebrate at last - which makes it sound as though life has been bad, which it hasn't, it's just that it's stayed quite housebound and lockdowney and same-as, even though restrictions were lifted back whenever. I have handed in my notice at work and am taking early retirement. When I say early, it's not too early to access my pensions, but it's still a fair bit earlier than usual. I've got enough to retire on now, and I must say most of that is down to MSE, where I've been a member since 2006, 15 years now, and I have totally turned my life around as a result, financially but also healthwise. In fact if I hadn't found MSE I would probably still be drinking way too much and heavily in debt! So I think glasses will probably be raised to this next step in my life sometime in October, when an outing with friends is planned (glasses being raised is now a rare treat). I don't finish till December but am soooo looking forward to it. I have been doing my job too long, and it has become very routine, and I really want to have space and time and the freedom to get on with my own stuff. So I'm happy!
    Huge congratulations it is definitely something to celebrate. December will soon come around and you sound as if you're in a fantastic place to enjoy the next chapter of your life.
