    Evening all

    Work has extended my contract by a week, but still negotiating longer terms, ideally till the end of September..

    All going well still, really enjoying it and smashing the targets like it's going out of fashion..

    Hope you are all well..

    Hello hello :j

    I am still here.. Been really busy with work.. They keep extending my contract so all good so far.. The money keeps coming in and I am loving that feeling.. I should be able to add to the pot towards the end of this month..

    I had planned to go on holidays if work had dried up, but they keep asking me to stay..so holiday is postponed..

    All the plans for my next move are going great too.. A few more things to sort out, which will probably happen next month..

    I just came back from a nice pub dinner by the lake.. A nice end to a great day..even better tomorrow is FRIDAY..

    Hello :j

    Hope you are all well..

    £2000 added to the pot today..

    We lost an elderly member of my ex wife family late last week :( such a shame.. Funeral to be arranged, it will be good to catch up with everybody, albeit in sad circumstances.. Not sure the last sentence made sense :o

    Cheers

    So sorry for your loss, Froggy.

    Glad to see you posting again, though. :hello:

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Hello

    I have been hit by a deadly case of man flu :eek: runny nose, blocked sinuses, headaches and chesty cough..the full and complete package :eek:

    Not helped by a two hour traffic jam this morning.. At least, I managed to escape work an hour early.. Now fully drugged up and cosy, hopefully a good night sleep will sort it out..

    Work still going ok, I have confirmed my finish date as the 19th September then the new and exciting venture begins, I can't wait..

    Money wise, all within budgets, monthly credit card paid off today, £4ish of cashback withdrawn..

    Hope you are all well..
