    Not one for me today, had a nice lunch out with a friend. :)
    Meant to ask how is retirement working out for you cathybird? It must be so nice to be able to plan things like nice lunches when everyone else is at work  :)
    It's great, thank you, Season of Mist - this week marked two years since I retired. I had the lunch with a former colleague who had the day off and he was saying I was right to go when I did since the job is much more stressful now. I really enjoy having the free time and things seem to be going as planned financially, so it's all good. Thank you for asking :) 
    That’s good to hear cathybird, glad it has turned out so well for you. I have to say I can’t believe it’s been two years, that has absolutely raced by. 

    14/25 for me inc today, thank you.

    Yes the time has certainly gone fast since then, it doesn't feel like two years at all!

    one of the drinking days involved the hangover from hell which was a lesson in stopping!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Hi each - 18 today please. Thought about having a drink on Christmas day - but no! My 980 counter-ometer would reset to zero and I'm not having that!
