Congratulations @cathybird wishing you a long and happy retirement
12 for me today. Really !!!!!! awful day tbh but what matters is getting through these ones5 -
Best wishes for your retirement cathybird - what an amazing thing, to be able to say “that was my last ever day at work.” That means no more Monday morning feeling, ever again! Will it feel strange or do you think you just won’t look back on the working life?
10/20 for me please including today. I’ve had two drinking occasions in December taking me up to 9 non-AF days so far this year.4 -

Thanks for the kind words WBF, maggieM, alt and SeasonofMist
SeasonofMist, that's a good question! I can't tell yet how it's going to feel - I'm sure the working life will recede in the rear view mirror but at the moment it's still in my mind quite a lot. It will take time to fade away. You're right though, no more Mondays ever

Declaring early for today Monday so 6/15 please.Enjoy a non working Monday Cathybird. I guess it will take a while to fully realise no more working as it will just feel like a holiday for a while especially at this time of year. How lovely though in the dark days of January though to know you don't need to be up very early!2

Very best wishes for your retirement cathybird. I hope 2022 offers you many opportunities to do things that working commitments just don't allow. X
I think I might as well declare early as I have no plans to drink today. So 13/21 please.2 -
Declaring early for today on 6/10 please cathybird2
