Countdown to the Big R

It has been a week of food and farewells at work.   With the handover pretty well complete I am in the process of writing my final email and on Friday I will say goodbye to my working life.
The managers kindly bought this super sweet cake  and insisted on a photograph!  what an awkward pose:-)

Both the DBEM and I are looking forward to the start of a new life but I can assure you that next week will certainly be less food for me!

Oh my Margaret, I didn't realise that the date was so close. I'm sure you'll be looking forward to Friday - I know that your mum will most certainly enjoy seeing more of you at home.
Take care and enjoy your last few working days.

That must have been an exciting week for you, and probably an emotional one as well. I hope you're transition into the 'great R' was smoothly and that you are settling in nicely :)

Wow, that arrived quicker than I thought! You've been counting down to this since I started following you in 2011. So happy you have finally reached the Big Day.

Margaret said...

I'm finding the transition more of a shock than I expected but so far so good

I'm happy to have reached the Big R but it is strange transitioning to a slower life style
