    Another one not sleeping well....last night at least!!

    Talking to sis last night made me realize just how much I was going to miss working at college. Though I will be back invigilating come mid-August, but no teachng or admin work.

    So I was quite upset this morning...even broke down in tears while talking to some colleagues....rather sad. :(

    I am now feeling much better though...a shopping trip to Dunelm Mill (oops..parted with lots of £££££s!!!), and talking to folk about possible future plans have really got things into perspective.

    I am going to have go at starting a new business (or two!), using my redundancy money for a couple of training courses, and intitial start-up costs...so watch this space!!! Just got to decide what to go for now. :D

    So feeling really tired, but much happier with life this evening. Looking forward now rather than dwelling on what might have been.


    Coo, listen to me...sounds a bit positive...scary! :rotfl:

    So even if things don't seem to be going quite the way you want them just now SF, just persevere and hang on in there...you never know what is round the next corner!

    Hope you have a good weekend. xx

    Keiss - it's just horrible isn't it? I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard.

    Footie - thanks, as always.

    BY JUNE – Moving out funds £542.33/£700
    House Deposit savings: £8881.76/£15000
    [Emergency savings: £3.50/£5000]
    Wedding Savings: £2047.04/£5000
    Lose 25lbs – 7/25lbs

    Just updated my front aims - we've broken the £2k barrier for the wedding savings, so that's good :)

    We regularly save around £400 a month but I'm going to try and save some more this month. It'll be tight, but I'm going to try :) No harm in aiming for something, right?
