7th January 2009


Unbelievable, today is the first day of my semi-retirement, Paul reckons I will have no trouble adapting, sure he is right. Above is a photo of the TIF team taken at our luncheon at the Casino. I have been with The Investment Focus Real Estate for four years and the time there has just flown by. It has been a great place to work, Rob the owner on the right hand and I have known each other for around 13 years back to the days at MJ's. Donna, Yolande and Lyn were all there when I started so it must be a great place as not many offices can boast still having the same staff, sure our/their owners appreciate it. Confident that my replacement Sandra will be happy there, always hard getting your head around a new rental portfolio as you need to remember the owner, the property and the tenant, very head spinning. The office presented me with a lovely card and so many kind words and a voucher for Anaconda - a camping/outdoor shop so that is going to be very handy, the first purchase will be a portable barbeque.
We have been busy packing, Paul has got heaps done whilst I have been at work. Will go and confirm a storage shed today, garage sale on Saturday - close to 12 years of stuff going in that. We are very lucky as the lady and her family that are renting the house are going to buy my car, I have had it for seven years.
It is still hard to comprehend that we will actually be heading off on the 17th January to fulfil our dream, can imgaine that we will be sitting out under the awning that night with silly grins and pinching our selves.
