Good vibes for luck please **didn't get it***

uberzoldat,

I'm doing contract work atm. If I take a permanent job and know there are no 'income gaps' ahead... I have enough saved to pay everything but the mortgage off.

This job gives me around £300 per month after all bills for food, fun and saving.

I hope you give your dream job a chance, especially if it is something you have always wanted to do. And like you said let fate take its course, if you are offered it, go for it, you can always go back to contracting if it doesn't work out.

Sending you good vibes and hoping everything works out for you.

Well at the end of the day, it's your decision, you can't work in misery forever.

I know kind of how you feel. I am running a business for my partner at the moment, and it's doing bad and am short of my outgoings by £240 every month. Next month *fingers crossed* I am starting a new job with guaranteed income to cover my outgoings and some more, so I know how exciting the prospect can be.

I hope that if that job is what you really want to do, then you get it. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Good Luck, I think you have to do what you want to do, because at the end of the day you spend a huge amount of time in work and it has to be something that you enjoy and will get some satisfaction out of it. Money is not the be all and end all. Know exactly what you mean about doing a job that you 'should' do according to others expectations and wanting to do something entirely different yourself. Hope it works out well for you.

Thanks all... needed some support. I am just so tired... this is the 3rd or 4th time I have had to cope with colleagues under threat of redundancy and their needs.. and I'm only 35!!.. is it so bad to do something you enjoy, in a work area which is more secure, even if it means it's only one holiday a year and the car had to last 7 years instead of 3???

I wish I could stop worrying. I *will* get the job, and b/f will just have to decide where he wants to live long term and what he wants to do... Would need an extra 20k for same standard of living in London anyway!!!

Will forget about it for tonight, I think, and brace myself for a difficult conversation with parents on Sunday. They will not be happy (until they have no choice!!)

Give parents a big smile and a big hug - tell them that it is sweet of them to worry about you but that you are a big girl now.

You realise that they only want the best for you and that must surely mean that they want you to be happy!

Take the wind out of their sails! Tell them it is a disgrace that the old job did not have a pension, that you were worked like a dog, making yourself ill etc - and you know that they do not want that sort of life for you!

Sweep them off their feet and do not justify yourself - it is your life!!!!

Good for you Emz go for what you want and then deal with the consequences when they arise. You can't always guess what the consequences are anyway and I think the only person in like who can really make yourself happy and change things is yourself. So Good Luck!!:j
Have a lovely evening!!

Aww you guys are great...my mates are great...

Just parents and b/f to sort, then..

Oh, and acing the interview..

Emmzi

Ok... parents now on board!!

B/f will hopefully be ok.. otherwise we have bigger problems than my job! Hope he will see that as he wants to come back from London in a year, it'd be better to have me here as a 'base'!!

Problem may now be ME!!

There is a 12 monthcontract with goodmoney I MIGHT get... however lots of travel, not the same sense of satisfaction fromthe job etc..

I just need to not be swayed by cash. I will be debt free other than mortgage soon, and have more than enough for everyday life...

Must..keep..resolve!!! and not be swayed by false god of money.

Got everything crossed for you both
(so that's why everyone is looking at me weirdly!)
