    What an excellent piece of news - this could be the turning point for you, and I am chuffed to bits for you :j

    When do you start?

    TY Hypno
    Well they want me to start beginning of August, but current contract states a months notice, throw in annual leave entitlement, DS2 on summer holidays I'm aiming for mid August with a week off between jobs.


    Personally I have been so down in the last month at present postion, felt put down and overlooked. I work for a charity at the moment at the atmostphere is dire, as we rely on funding. I hate to say it but I've just left a sinking ship. I feel for the people we are there to 'help'. Charities are a business, but the powers that be don't seem to 'get it'.

    A situation arose last week which ended up with me being called into the managers office to confirm/redefine my duties, I felt like a 15 year old, and got home totally feeling belittled. I am a 40 something year old woman for goodness sake. I think that was the LBM for changing the situation.

    If I'm not good, then my dear sons aren't good (and neither is my diary/debt thumping) so am on a new path, new wagon, new energy.

    Oh dear where did all that come from ?
    Thanks for listening !

    You have not been exactly happy in your job for some time, so it is not as though you are making any sort of rash decision. I think it is a good move for you, and more money, easy to get to, and a chance for a fresh start will be fab for you right now.

    And the middle of August will be here before you know it! Full steam ahead!!

    TY KM :)
    Yes you are right Hypno, first post on this diary, nearly a year ago declares something had to be done.

    Quite happy to take it easy for a few weeks now.

    Been lurking in diaryland all morning and remotivating myself, am quite disgusted that I hadn't subscribed to the latest adventures of Hypno !

    Ah, one diary of mine is much like another - skint, tired, and with a mountain of ironing threatening to spill out from one room into another......

    same old same old :rotfl:
