Got to go into town today, going to see one of my old work colleagues at her new job,might take me a while to get ready to go though, feel like im doing everything at old granny pace xxWealth is not measured by currency0 -
Evening chick, glad to hear the sickness is easing. The first 3 months are always hard then you tend to find the next 3 are a little easier and then unfortunately the tiredness kicks in.

I cant cope with this for another 5 weeks!
Im pleased to say I really do think its starting to go now, ive had my dose of jelly now as well as some go ahead biscuits LOL
Got a email from landlord to see if we're still on track to move out on the 7th, I was hoping to be out the day before so that we can spend a day cleaning with nothing in here getting in the way.
Starting to feel a bit desperate now though about DH's job situation. He's not even getting the standard rejections.....guess we're just entering into a real period of uncertainty.Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
There's no easy answer to the job situation... I do think tho it will be easier to pick up at least something once you are actually living down there....

It sounds like yours is starting to tail off now so I wouldn't worry too much. The bathroom in the flat I was living in made me gag everytime I went in. It was horrible.

morning all
well im going in to my old job today to finally sort out my final pay cheque, by the sounds of it my old boss will give me some sick pay, not sure it'll be the whole thing but there we go..... something is better that nothing.
DH's last day at his job as well which means he'll get paid by cheque but at least it'll be 5 weeks worth.
Also managed to arrange a time/day to have our final inspection before we leave....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
all the best with the flat inspection - when's the move now?Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Are you excited about moving? How long until you move now? I hope you are feeling a bit better and hope the sickness is wearing off now.
