hooray...finished
Today is the first day of my retirement...pity the poor mongrel who tries to ring me to place a service call. I aint going!!! final!! go find someone else !!!
All I have to do is a few days of showing new company around my now ex client buildings, pay a few bills and then go see accountant to close all down.
But going to accountant might have to wait a while...I can see a couple of fishing trips coming up..early next month is looking good.
Then its paint the house, polish bench tops, paint gazeebo, etc etc etc...last I looked at the fridge it was just a few lines short of filling an A4 page.......was even a subtle word about housework...not sure I heard that correctly tho...hoping I did'nt

After a few months you'll wonder how the hell you ever found time to go to work.

Congratulations on the Retirement.
Tell SWMBO that now you're retired, you don't need to work, THAT INCLUDES HOUSE WORK .
Just let me know what hospital you're in, so I can visit you!!!

Congratulations and Welcome to the good times .......... I think its great, to be waking up at 6:00 making a cup of coffee and then taking my time to drink it instead of gulp and go.

Congratulations. I'm kinda in the same boat, well for a few more months anyway. After 15 + years of service to the big green machine I had enough and put my papers in. But first I have to do six months of long service and other accrued leaves before I'm a free man (and have to find another job). So been at home since September, being a house dad. I didn't realize how much work you have to do, doing the housework!
Best of luck,
Ben.

Congrats - I remember my retirement date well.
I also thought I would be able to sleep in after I retired - these days I wake up at around 5. I doze for about 20 minutes or so listening to the radio, but I'm usually having my first coffee at 5:30.

I'm somewhat jealous, I had planned to retire at the end of the year after 45 years in the one job.
Then my 32 year old daughter moved back home and decided that she wanted a sea change and would be quitting her job in order to study full time at university for 3 years.
So the Bank Of Dad needs to stay open for at least another 3 years. Sigh...

I volunteer also, but my volunteering to drive the wife batty has no start time. I like to lie around in bed - late, planning how best to do my job to best effect!
Hmmm, had to think about that one: effect or affect...

I have five, all at home. The eldest one at uni and the youngest starting kindy next year. So I'll be getting up at 7 am and going to work (once this short interlude is over) for the foreseeable future. I keep telling my wife and kids, once your 21 your out (the kids, not the wife)! Somehow I think no-one is listening.
