I handed in my notice today but only because I have a new job. Luckily it's closer to home and I won't have to sit in a queue by a tunnel for 15-30mins every day.

September last year I stopped working Fridays and enjoyed the long weekend so much as from next week I will only work two days a week. That will give me more time to work out a way to stop working two days a week and have a 7 day weekend. Yippee.

I turned 60 a couple of weeks ago by the way, I always wanted to retire early. Nearly there.

Phil. Officially an old git now. :thumbright:
