Milanns mutterings on this last milestone.

I'm pleased to say I passed the medical and was deemed fit for work - lady who did medical wasn't sure whether or not to put restrictions or not but I convinced her I'd been doing a similar job already without problems. What a relief as I'm not sure what would have happened if I hadn't passed.

Met a friend and had lunch afterwards which was very nice but not very MSE but I bought a big new calculator from the pound shop ready to do some number crunching in readiness for the new wage - whatever that may be!!

what a relief! Glad you got through that ok! I think the lunch was well deserved too! MSE has to be a balance between celebrating life and living within your means....

I start on 6th - I'm looking forward to it but I know will miss some of the people I've worked with for the last 8 years.

It will be a new challenge workwise. I'm quite pleased to have passed the medical and to be able to put all the 'mental garbage' that went along with having had a year off ill. Many of my old workmates were there when I was so ill and helped me tremendously getting back on my feet and back into work.... I was grateful for it at the time.... but in the nicest possible way - if I'm just 'tired' - they still cluck like bloomin' Mother Hens. I do know they did it with the best intentions but it will be nice to go in work fresh and new without feeling I HAVE to prove myself medically IYKWIM.

I have decided to pay off a loan due to finish next June. I have transferred my cc's to a new 0% card for 16 months and will get a final total of what I owe on Tuesday once everything has gone through. That will mean I don't have to pay £195 a month on the loan and can pay the 0% as quickly as I can. SOooooo I'm hoping to be df by next summer.

The new challenge sounds just what you need, and I fully agree with your reasons for making the change - it seems just right for you at this point in time.

The money stuff is looking fine too. :T

I can only echo what HYpno says

Thanks Hypno and Beanie

I'm in a funny state of wishing 6th would hurry up and come so I can start but wanting the hols to go on longer - still got LOADS of socialising I want to do....plus I've not finished all the cleaning jobs I like to do over the hols this year yet. MMMmmmmmm cleaning or going out and catching up with friends this week ....decisions, decisions.........

hi milann.... enjoy this week to the full - next week will come soon enough

Met some friends from work at friends house for lunch - think it's just hit me I won't be going back to work with them......ooohhhh what have I done?????????? But new job still has to be an easier option for me long term and I can still see friends.

Went to docs to pick up prescription this morning - doc wanted to see me and check bp etc. so far so good. When I came back I tried to pay balance transfer but kept getting cut off - will try again later.

Tomorrow I am going to look after a boy I used to work with should be interesting as he is now 14 and nearly 6 ft tall. He has autism but I'm assured he will sit at his computer most of the time - I'm hoping this is right as he is much taller than me now LOL but mum sounded desperate when she phoned me.
