Wednesday's the day!

My working life has been long and very varied and has included:
  • shop work
  • estate agent work
  • general office work
  • being a mum
  • painting lead soldiers
  • making bows for chocolate boxes
  • working nights in a children's nursery
  • teaching assistant
  • teacher
  • deputy head
  • headteacher
  • education adviser

and all that with only 3 'O' levels. Actually, now I've written that it looks like like I've done a lot.
So, I'm over 60 now. I've worked all my life and didn't really intend to retire yet at all. Sadly I have ME so the decision has really been taken out of my hands. My "official" retiring date is the 1st July - and that's only on Wednesday! Astonishing. Old people retire. I'm not old and I don't feel it either. Wonder if I'll feel any different on Wednesday? Hmmm...
