    Woohoo BB well done!:beer::T:beer:

    And there's a lot to be said for putting 'atmosphere' and 'lifestyle' over take home pay. I recently made a similar decision to stay where I am - a flexible, respectful place, rather than go to a bigger corporation for 12k p.a more with all the stress and extra hours that would include. OH just wants you to afford to feed him more!
