Fabulous news catmiaow - well done :jJudging by your woo hoo I take it you are pleased to be acccepting it? Brilliant!

Great news about OH Littlekel!

I have also been unexpectedly offered a new role today. It was proposed that I continue to do 4 hours on one project that I work for but transfer my other hours to another site. The new site is right opposite T's school so couldn't be handier, and I can co-ordinate my hours with pick-up and drop-off time. I also walk the school run so wouldn't need to use my car for work anymore. I have been given a few days to think about it, but I would be daft not to really. I was so disappointed to turn that job down a few weeks ago, so this has cheered me right up. Same carpy pay though!

woo hoo 2 lots of champs & hobnobs then, whoops there goes my diet (yay :j I hate diets!!!) and actually Lurleena its actually a pay rise if you don't nbee dto waste petrol to get there and time is money so all in all ur loads better off!

No probs, DNM! I have thought of something already!! Well, it's not really throwing all my spare cash, but as a wee treat, hubby and I are going to go on a day trip down to the coast on Sunday if the weather's decent. We have never been down to see the Seven Sisters and I found train tickets for £15, which I think is pretty good! :money: We have a book on Country Walks and I think there is one we can follow along the coast. We're going to bring our packed lunches and maybe some :beer: to celebrate the credit card paying off-ness

And ALSO, today was an NSD!! :j

Oh Been, that's rubbish about your leave

I would be £$%$ed off too. At least it's not cancelled altogether but I guess that doesn't help today.
