quiltmonkey Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Happy retirement! More Dylan time, quilting time and Bacardi time (not necessarily in that order but maybe,,,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy G Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 what does it mean? well like most companies at the moment, down sizing is a must....Volunteers were asked to apply to leave the company on redundancy terms....I applied as my job is going and the compulsory package isn't a good as the voluntary package... So in 9 months time I will be unemployed but will be doing a happy dance as I will have more time to spend quilting and being a Nan to Dylan and the baby that is due at Christmas....

Janette Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Great news Tracy, you did say you did not enjoy it there anymore didn't you? and it sounds like the financial deal was a good one. Happy retirement then by the sounds of it, and of course happy quilting too........ not to mention no stress. OMG I am so jealous !!! I think I will still need to be working when I am 70 gone to pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
