I am submitting my early retirement papers today.
I thought I would see it out and ride it out until 2033 but I have to do this now: for Mom's sake, not mine.
I'd appreciate some good vibes sent my way today as it is going to be difficult.
If it is what you feel you need to do mate, go ahead. Take the time to enjoy life.

I had to postpone it to Monday as my trip to Cape Town for ITN is priority right now - I was running around like a headless chicken yesterday - but Monday morning I will submit my forms and letter. People at work still think I'm kidding but I'm not.
Thanks to all for the good vibes. :smile: :smile:

I am sure, definitely: Mom's care comes first.
Please don't forget to take care of yourself too, Trevor.

May retirement bring you far more joys than headaches. Embrace life!
You can always take a trip up here next year when I've retired. We can sit in my garden and shout at the young folks.

LMAO: young people in general think I am a bit crazy but mostly OK :teddyr:
It's done: I submitted the forms and letter today.
Not sure how to feel, really.
Give it a few days mate for things to settle. I found because I'd been thinking about it for so long, when I put my paperwork in, it was something of an anti-climax.
Go. Have fun. Enjoy it.

It took me about 20 minutes to type the submission and I went "Huh? That's it?"

Sounds very much like what I had.
