DansMum's hopeful freedom date 01/01/2024

DansMum_2

DansDad survived the sock episode!!!! He also repaired some of the drawers that were falling apart isnt he a smasher!!

We're borrowing my Stepdads trailer over Easter to finish moving all the carp that we've accumulated He's quite motivated!!!

Another payment gone to the Willie fund which now stands at £390 thats 2 payments down although looking at the paperwork there may only be £1800 when 2/3 done so I think I'm most definatley on target.

On a sad note I've just filled in my P45 and paid my redundancy money (although still owed a fair amount of wages) I'm choked today as my last Saturday for a while. I love this job and I'm so sorry to go but its in the best interests of the business and Mum (whose business it is) doesnt need the added pressure at the moment. I'm just so gutted to go

For my birthday Mum is going to pay for Danny Boy to go to the local equestrian centre to be, ahem, assessed for a week. Poor man he wont know whats hit him! She'll also have Old Horse back with her (he's hers anyway) for the week so I get a week of being horse free. I'll miss them though but it'll be great to see what Petrina can get out of Danny!

Should be able to do another £100 from the mortgage next week whoop!!:p

I also will be officially in my late thirties ..... :eek:

Well paid another £100 off yesterday hooray.

DansDad took me to lunch as my birthday and got out on the bike for the first time as the sun was shining.... He also helped me with Danny and Old Horse first thing

Thanks for the big cuddly hug SMF2 its super cute. I'll be tickety boo its just that adjustment phase....

Back to work for today and tomorrow off to the zoo for my keeper day with cats, meerkats and giraffes. Just hope they do a head count when I leave just in case I sneak something fluffy away.... :cool:

:beer:

pammyj74

well done on your OP. I didnt realise danny was a horse :eek: :rotfl:

DansMum_2

Thanks for that PammyJ.In the absence of children I have my fur babies, 5 cats, 1 long suffering dog, Danny Boy my gorgeous if stroppy cob and Gifford who is my Mums ancient (30yr old) big irish hunter. I am a complete fur baby bore so many apologies!!!

Today I have had the best day ever. I have been to the local zoo to be 'keeper for the day' which essentially mean mucking out pens I have been up close and very personal in some cases with Meerkats (inc babies born 2/3/2010) They were amazing. Also Ring Tail Lemurs (inc babies born yesterday!!!) DansDad made a fab perch for them! Binturongs (a bearcat) just beautiful and very tempting to bring home. I have had a fuss with a baby pygmy hippo, 3 white rhinos OMG soppy as anything. Fed the giraffes and seen the baby Aardvark. DansDad and me went into the Aardvark enclosure and they are just amazing lovely soft noses. I'm in love :happyhear So not been a NSD today but had two Saturday and Sunday.

Back to work tomorrow for the last two days then plans before I start new job. Declutter loft and spare room (bemuda triangle) and paint kitchen. Anyway completely knackered and have eaten far too much today but it was worth it ....

Ok well here I am on my last day at the job I have been in for 13 years. Being made redundant today have another job to go to start date 6th April. Have a week off to recharge.....

Chatting to Mum earlier (this is her business I run it for her) told her I posted my P45 off and really sad as last day. She's only said I can stay if I want..... :eek: Flippin heck.

She's coming over later bringing some haylage over for Old Horse so I'll chat to her about it then. Am more than willing to take pay/hours cut but my God I dont want to leave.....
