Subject: RE: BS: Last day of work!
what happened to my post?

now what did I say?

I retired 5 years ago at 55 on a good public service pension & have just reached 60 (11th Feb) & am waiting for my application for a Seniors Card to be processed. I spend 2 days a week at craft groups, & meet a former colleague for lunch every week so keep up with work gossip. I occasionally attend the office Christmas party, & visited the new office after my colleagues moved from the old premises, but that's as close to work I'll ever get! Tho I teach at one of my craft groups, so that is work but doesn't feel like it, cos it's volunteer work!

When I have my Seniors card I can use a single concession ticket all day on all public transport (trains, buses & ferries) - I've been waiting 5 years for that card. Then I won't have to use 4 tickets each time I go to Craft Group, or 4 more tickets on the odd evenings I go out again ...

Kind (older) friends gave me some pre-paid transport tickets for my birthday ... bless their little cotton socks.

I can also get small discounts in shops etc. Wot fun.
