cathybird said: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!4
