On Monday morning I will do something that I have not done since 9th July 1973.

Guesses welcome.

NB the date is 1973 NOT 1985  ;)

I'm with Karaokemark - retired and the i-pad was a gift from your friends at work ? Either way enjoy the week   :)

If the others are right and you have retired, have a long and Happy Retirement, lots of lie-ins, and have lots of fun playing with your mini   (I-pad I mean)!! xx

bewva was correct - I start a new job on Monday. No chance of retiring I'm afraid as the pension is screwed.

Others were also correct in that the Ipad was a leaving gift.

I also received this card (from someone outside my company I should say)
