That and my union rep encouraging me to hold on. I would ask what EvilPixie asked too Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs). I left my teaching post about a year earlier than I planned to but we'd saved money over the lockdown period so could afford it. The benefits to my health were enormous. I think it depends on your circumstances though. |

Sounds good. Would last ages here too. I've still got a stash of the complementary biscuits left in the hotel room we stayed at in August. Don't eat biscuits very often. Chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, doesn't last long at all!
