 Made another £5 on B port
 Told today that they will let me go for interviews in work's time, including to sign up with agencies and that they will be flexible on finish date if I get an offer that is dependent on that. I am supposed to get a bonus too which they are working on getting signed off for me - so all credit to them they are being very supportive - but that's why I want to stay - they are so nice!
 Been put forward for a job today so that's good - its a start - have to see if I get an interview now.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

            HI doodledoo et al.
 I'm okay - have now applied for 8 jobs, and intend to go and sign on with some agencies early next week. They tend to be more likely to put you forward when they have seen your face etc.
 Not doing well enough on debt busting but then I think we all have a wobble sometimes. I'm trying really hard on the grocery challenge tho...Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
