fingers crossed for you then, although being forced out sometimes means making a change and could work out for the best in the long run;).The Fashion Police have put a request in for tanks...
to be fair they don't seem as bad as they used to be... still far from good but still...Or if I get a cardboard box...
less of that! you can zap off to NZ or somewhere, I'm sure there will always be lots of contracting jobs out there...
speaking of work/careers etc... I was going to do an OU course and was following a train of thought that I'd do economics/business studies but I've had a bit of a brainwave and decided that I'm going to study a language instead cos I have always loved them. Probably a bad move but it will also provide an excuse for wee minibreaks;)... also I'm fed up doing a job that pays ok and has many good points but is rather soul destroying so hopefully this will help cheer me up.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

NZ are starting to chuck people out as a lot of Kiwis are returning because of the recession. Not good for me...skint_spice wrote: »speaking of work/careers etc...

True! life's too short... I'm swithering between french and spanish... did french at school and enjoyed it but did a wee bit of spanish at night school and that was fun too... actually seeing as it's all just for fun I could always do one this year and then do the other the next...:DMortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
