thanks SH i appreciate it
Starnac -that was really unprofessional the the fella was able to re-submit the application form. He sounds like a right eegit :mad: Hope you get the job!
PAID - I agree with SavingH. If you want to add it on to the challenge then you should. I didn't add on my Oz tickets or OH's credit card debts but wish I did as it is so motivating seeing the figure go up. Maybe I should do it!
Well was in Reading this weekend to look at some properties. We saw a 2 bedroom apartment that was gorgeous but right at the top top top of our budget. I think we will go for it though, as it would be somewhere that would be lovely for the baby and we would stay there for a while.
Am going to ring the GP for an appointment tomorrow as I have had some abdomen and back pain since Friday. It is probably nothing but after what happened to my cousin last week I am a bit more paranoid

Hi guys - I am fine. Have a second interview tomorrow for what is now a 4.5 day a week job - but unfortunately also with the 0.5 day pay cut... 42 miles each way tho and not a good journey.... Still not sure it would be right to take. Hard to say no tho if I have nothing else to go to... Obviously I still need to be offered it - I have a strange knack of being offered jobs I don;t really want - and not the ones I really do!!!
Feeling a bit more cheerful again tho - pension refund arrived in my bank account at the start to the week - and with care will cushion us to xmas!!! Even if I don't take/get the job tomorrow!
I have a couple of other irons back in the fire which always makes me feel better! I think I have got over the run and hide at thought of interviews again!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality

We did the NYC Duck tour last month-bit of a tip it's cheaper Mon-Wed.
I think Top of the Rock is much nicer than ESB too

Like black is the new black :T
Am a bit worried the board is about to go into meltdown - am struggling to see why some things are on the main board and others on here??? It all just seems very confused
Mind you, as we are a challenge thread but often talk about anything but the challenge...
