    Glad its something you can try and control easily.

    Well done on your OPs, and I too get fed up of surveys, especially GTM ones that seem to come in droves!!!

    Thanks Pam, not just me then! I still have loads in my inbox if they are still available! Be more rewarding when I get to pay out.

    Off to a meeting in work this morning, am fearing the worst for me and my colleagues - think closure is looming :(

    Glad you should be able to control your diet.

    I am sick of surveys too. Still haven't done any mysurvey ones after being kicked out at the end last week.

    Just read you last post, positive thoughts to you this morning

    Is that a good or bad sign on the cancelled meeting??

    Yukki I usually find if I havent done the surveys within a day of getting them I dont even bother as you just seem to get through the 'who are ya' questions and nothing more, I wish they would just say straight away its now closed. GTM isnt too bad in that way but VO and Ipsos after a good few hours I dont even try them.

    Do you know how that's going to affect you yet?

    Not too badly tbh, i have been provisionally offered an opportunity to move somewhere new with fantastic learning opportunities and it would be really good for me. Would be somewhere I would consider if a post came up anyway but i won't have to go through the whole application process. I think I may come out of it quite well. It's just all a bit unsettling and now I don't know what to do about TTC.
    I'm so glad we're not moving now, think I would have had a meltdown!

    There are loads of positives though, can prob work my hours over 3 or 4 days rather than 5 which would save us childcare which will meet the shortfall is DH changes jobs and drops salary.

  • Great news about the new opportunity - fingers crossed it all works out for you! Less days and less childcare sounds like a winner.

  • That's great news about the new post (in a roundabout kind of way) and you will know what to do about ttc when the time is right.
