Geee, I have gone all red.

Thanks heaps for that Jules and GD. It sure has been a mixed bag of emotions today and I tell you that for free.

I have had 3 cars cut me off this afternoon while in the bus but no dramas. I put the bus to bed at 6.45pm for the last time.

I didn't escape problems though, I thought I would be clever and put some music on my iPhone through ITunes and something went wrong, the phone has locked up so now I have to sort that out . I have no phone now until it is all sorted.

Congratulations Dougwe!! Enjoy yourself...

Cheers Bronnie

Congratulations Dougwe - enjoy your retirement - settle into the life - you will enjoy it

Yay!!  Go Dougie!

Thanks Milo but I have tried that a few times and the phone keeps locking up. I will take the phone to the local Telstra Dealer this morning, I took it in yesterday and he showed me how to reset the phone and said the same as you.

Bummer, I am up the same time as usual.

Thanks for all the kind words, I hope to meet all of you at some stage.

 Doesn't usually take long to get in the habit of turning over in bed for a while - which gradually becomes longer and longer.

Took me about three weeks I reckon, once I took up residence in the motorhome - now could sleep for Australia, I reckon.!!!

it's happened at last Dougwe retired, congratulations once again mate, now in regards to your phone, you do not need one now throw it in the rubbish bin 

Congratulations Doug!

 if you have all the reciepts take the phone back to apple direct to the store, sometimes they might just give you a new iphone!!

 Congratulations!!!! Don't forget to NOT set the alarm clock tonight

Hi all, awoke at same time as normal again.

I took the iPhone back to the place I got it and the young bloke there hooked it up to his little poota and set things in motion, 30 mins later it's working again. Turns out all software was taken off and didn't want to go back on when updated. His poota sorted it out for me. Nice poota. I lost all data including all contacts. I am not worried about photo's etc but now I have to input all contacts in again one at a time.

Guess what I'm doing this afternoon?????

I must say though, although I really don't like this particular Telstra Shop, only cos it's sooooo busy the young bloke that was dealing with me was very very helpfull to me and a few others he was dealing with while my phone was being sorted.

I still wake at 0400 every morning, you will get used to it.

Good to hear you got your phone fixed, here's my mob no 042474 13475904 3494244989232742834856 8735412406788392716 

ALL telstra shop are busy, the one at our local shopping centre has a q outside from 0830 and they do not open until 0900

Just relax and get those numbers in your phone, that will keep you busy for this arvo. 

Few!!!! Just got a pleasant surprise. I thought I would connect my phone to the poota again to see if my contacts were stored there and BINGO there they were. The phone connected to iTunes automatically and just reloaded all my contacts onto the phone. I'm just testing the phone as a modem as I talk to ya now, it works. Don't ya just love technology. 


Now, to get down to this retirement thing. 

Congratulations  Dougwe 

 You are soon going to wonder how you ever had time to go to work.

   Landy

Congratulations Doug - enjoy yourself every day without the dread of having to go to work!!!!!!!

Cheers, Helen

As soon as I had the mobile phone back in action I felt a great release of stress. Isn't it funny, I have had a mobile phone since day dot when it was a big brick so that's however long?? I don't know how I would cope without it actually, anyway it is some sort of help when out in the playground if you get into trouble, providing you have coverage of course and that's a whole different subject that I won't get started on.

Just sitting here having a nice green tea and feel "RELAXED".

 that's the way to do it Dougwe, just relax and enjoy, you have earned it mate

Doug, I understand the phone thing.  I am not a huge mobile phone user but I left it at my parents place on Father's Day and had to wait for two days for it to arrive in the mail (registered) - dad sent it Monday and it arrived on Wednesday.  What a relief but I don't know why I was so stressed about it

Congratulations on your retirement Doug, hope you eventually learn to sleep in a little.   I never have, always awake by 6 -6.30 every morning rain hail or shine lol.   I guess there's plenty of time for sleeping after you've gone!!  I think the best part is that you don't have to hurry anything, just relax and do whatever you feel like doing and enjoy everyday as it comes 

Enjoy
