      That's good to hear, and I hope so too :)

  4. I marked my last day based in The City of London by taking a short bus ride to Southwark. I had a pint of their own real ale and ham egg and chips in the ancient galleried coaching inn "The George", owned by The National Trust for ever, for everyone - and then visited nearby Southwark Cathedral - where in the sanctity of this wonderful church I said a few prayers for divine help for our OCD-UK community.

  5. Its my last day based at London office tomorrow, from Weds my base will be out in Essex - i'll be there for two days each week, otherwise out visiting clients or homeworking. It's only for 4 months until I retire, but wish me luck.

  6. I'm still getting stressed because of the changes At work, but am using all the techniques I Have learned to minimise potential for an OCD relapse - thanks you lovely people out there - engaging with others here is a key part of that strategy

      Thanks Laura, I guess it will get better soon as we have reached some agreements which are satisfactory to me

  7. I've been accessing the forum from my smartphone a lot, really easy to keep in touch this way - even on a train or in a coffee bar!

  8. Now I seem to have sorted my work plans for 5 months till I retire I need to crack on with arranging quotes from each pension provider of what they will pay out, then getting my financial adviser to arrange various annuity quotes. What a to do - you can't even retire easy these days!

  9. Taking a well-earned couple of days off 20 and 21 Feb to make a nice long weekend

      many thanks Purplepiper. We had a dodgy day on Thursday as thought we had lost some cheques, but luckily not.I got out to see a football game yesterday, and we've had lots of tea and chat in the sunshine together, plus we got to the leisure centre as usual this morning for gym and swim.

  10. Saw the employment lawyer today. Brilliantly helpful for a small fee and the Equalities Act is going to support my case as my OCD was evaluated 2 years ago and accpeted by the company doctor as a disability under the act.Now it will work for me.

  11. Negotiationsre work restructuring continue, good progress today but (as a reserve position in case of need0 I am seeing my lawyer tomorrow. when negotiating, I always work using "undeniable facts" which tends to present a strong fortress that others would have to breach

      I agree, the human race has become so obsessed with money that consideration and compassion are sadly being forgotten.
