Today was good as far as it goes - still have major concerns re the job tho - expressed some of them to the agency so will be interesting to see what happens with that... To be honest even if I got pulled out I wouldn't care at this point as I think it will be a nightmare assignment despite being a nice team! I was up at 5.30am today! There weren't always two 7s in my body clock before never mind 5 or 6s!
I do have an interview for a more local job tomorrow so wish me luckAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Hi Tirl I was lucky enough to get a really good bonus - that is what made the difference for me. I may have paid off a lot but proportionate to our joint earnings the percentage we have used on debt repayments is probably considerably lower than that of some other people on the thread....Morning all.

If you get even close to £5.5K that is something to be really proud of....and probably so much better than you would have done without this challenge - that is what counts!:AAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
