Taking the staff to 5 Guys for our xmas lunch and beers at the German market in the afternoon.

A very nice gesture Johnny and well done.

Today I've cleaned the guttering, de-frosted the freezer, sorted the medicine cupboard out, posted the Christmas cards and watched Elf on Sky this afternoon, quite enjoying this retirement malarkey.

Honeymoon period! I've been off work for a month and I'm bored as food!

Ha, I'd been bored at work for the past ten years, me and boredom get along nicely.

Bored as food?

you've got in ahead of me - 2 more days still to go, but just tidying up loose ends now.

Suspect it won't hit me till 5th Jan when I would have been due to go back in. The next couple of weeks will just feel like a usual school holiday period.

Know what you mean, I guess it'll be early next year when it all starts to sink in.

Our friends who just dropped a Teddylicious takeaway at our door to cheer my wife up after she spent an evening sitting in the walk in centre with the kids.

I am not sure which thread this should go on, but I think this will be alright.

Earlier in the year a very dear friend of mine collapsed and passed away outside Goodison Park on his way to watch his beloved Leicester City play Everton. Tomorrow his friends from the Hinckley supporters club are travelling to Merseyside to watch Leicester play Everton. And in what will be a very poignant afternoon, Everton Football Club have agreed to allow a wreath in Terry Ortons memory to be laid outside Goodison Park. Terry's friends, while looking forward to watching their rampant team, are also not looking forward to revisiting the place where he died. In my opinion, it is important that they pay their respects to Terry, and then go and enjoy the game. I know that Terry will be looking down with a smile on his face. Leicester top of the league, even he would not have believed that.

Walked out of work for the very last time ever today - happy, but with a bit of an edge to it. Have to say my desk has never been as clear as it was this afternoon (the Head Teacher even came and took a photo of it as couldn't believe there was no paperwork piled up!)

A slightly emotional day and poignant to see how many of the children were sad/upset that I was not coming back in the New Year (hasn't made me change my mind though). Nice words & more gifts from parents whose children I have seen go right through Primary School.

A good ending

Good luck Peter, enjoy the "you time"

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Have a happy retirement Peter. Put your feet up and relax, and think of us young whippersnappers hard at it...

Nice one Peter. Well earned. We'll send you to the bar in future being as you haven't been working all week...

Yes Dan, but I see a flaw in your plan. He will say he cannot afford to pay now that he is a poor pensioner...

You say a good ending, but now begins a new start. Wishing you a long and happy retirement Parkin. Congratulations.

Yes. You & Trev both have earned and deserve some quality time to yourselves. I hope you both love every minute and moment.

I got a call from the relative of someone I've supported a lot in the few weeks since I started my new role, who wanted to say thanks for what I'd done. Gave me a warm tingly feeling.

Whippersnappers - pretty sure that you've not been called that for a few years Frank!

Thought that was what always happened
