    F*** them, you've got what you wanted and if they are so ungracious and up their own backsides that they can't see they've created this problem then roll on December when you can say goodbye to them and they will then find they don't have anyone half as good as you to do consultancy work :mad:

    At least this gives you some breathing space. You know your income is sorted til December so you have nearly 12 months to figure out your next move and you can deal with move in August knowing you still have a few months left.

    I hope you have a good weekend and try not to let the carppy way they've treated you get you down!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    first chance I've had to post.New job keeping me VERY busy. The people seem nice too. Miss the chat here though.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Unix, was wondering how you were doing, glad you've got a new job.

    Fay, they are probably just nobs (i know it's spelt wrong just hoping it gets through the censor) because they know they've failed you and feel guilty, but i'm glad you get to keep your funding. (I think i remember you saying before that that would be the case)

    Exactly! My thoughts are OK piggfaces - thank you for the opportunity to prove you all wrong, keep some money til Dec and then get on with my life in 'normal' terms

    Money is a real motivation - the thing I thought about it all is OK so you're effectively paying me 3 years worth of money to do an MSc - if I tell myself that then it doesnt sound like a bad deal - and if I don't pass it all - or finish the write up its not a big deal as I already have an MSc (although I do want to put a superbly written document infront of them and say F - U

    Thanks for the vibes and kind wishes - much appreciated.

    I am going to wrok on getting myself sorted as well -might mean aside student loan I *should* be able to clear the rest of my debts.

    Helo to all just snuck on whilst OH is out feeding chookies (he likes doing that!)
