Today I handed in my resignation...came out of the admin area, sat at my desk and started to blub.

It is official...I have lost the plot.!

Can't wait until my last day, I will be a right mess. Did anyone else get very emotional?

my last day lasted about three weeks.....................it pissed down,if i remember right..

Isn't it amazing that although you can't wait for the day to hand your notice in, when you do it feels really strange. How much notice did you have to give, I had to give two months as I was a teacher. I think its the though of missing out on the office gossip or going for a coffee with your friends. If it's any consolation I finished work two months ago, and considering I loved my job and was a bit of a workaholic I haven't missed it once. I email my friends and even pop in for the odd coffee. Even in this short space of time things have moved on without me and it is definitely no longer a part of my life. Time to look forward to sun, sea and sand. When are you flying out and where in Perth are you going. My OH is also a Electrical engineer too.

jeez are they coming to perth?

if you need a lift from the airport let me know

Cheers Aston Man for the offer, but we're landing in Adelaide. 3 weeks??!!

Kangy-roo, hi there, (another Sparky Wife ) I only needed to give a month. Yep, know what you mean...thought I'd love the day I could hand in my resignation, but actually doing it was pretty hard. Will def miss the peeps I work with.

Will you be looking to teach in Aus? When are you off?

Hi, No I don't think I will go back into teaching. I have had two months of in which I have had a life. I think I might do some secretarial temp work whilst I get my two boys settled into school. To be honest we aren't even sure where we are going to settle in Perth until OH has a job. What about you?

Thanks for the offer of a lift Aston man , but we have life saving friends picking us up from the Airport.

5 weeks to go

We've got 6 1/2 weeks to go!

Have you a house to sell, or have you already sold yours?

ps: Heraclitus of Ephesus said "There is nothing permanent except change"

I love sayings like that!

Well, thank you, you sorted it for me!!! Wondered where it came from! Are you a primary or secondary teacher, if you don't mind me asking?

SSTC. Fingers crossed it will go through ok. How about you?

SSTC? Sorry not very good with the shorthand. I worked at a sixth form / FE college. Great fun but really hard work. Loved the students and colleagues hated the repetitve paper work and jobsworths... if you know what I mean.

Oh S**t, friends have arrived to help empty the drinks cabinet , and I still haven't dried my hair yet. Keep in touch and let me know how your preparations for moving get on.

Have a good night!!! Will do!!

Sold subject to contract. Sorry, I'm being lazy!

Hi Sparky Wife

Well just about got over the hangover from emptying the drinks cupboards, it's amazing how many of us suffered from "food poisoning" considering no-one actually ate anything.

Has you OH applied for his ARTC yet? If so how is it going? If we didn't know better I would think they are trying to put Electricians off.

Hello Alex

LOL, well it sounds like a very unique form of food posioning very specialist, but it can happen... sounds like you had a great time!

OH applied for ARTC back in January and he had it granted a couple of weeks ago, which was a huge weight off our minds. I think he bored them to death with all the info/proof he gave them. What about your OH?

hi sparky wife

are you going to adelaide so your oh can sit his tests for his sparky licence,if so did he arrange this from the uk and how easy was it to arrange from the uk

regards

Sorry Kangy-roo I tried to read this post, but this time of the night it just showed up as a big square, and all blurry. I'll try and read it tomorrow. Sorry.

A pissed LL.
