    I think lots of us have the redundancy fear in us somewhere. I work for NHS and whilst i won't be made redundant I am being redployed in the next few months - and i'm pregnant so that is being kept under wraps till they find me a job!

    Hope you hit your OP target for the month.

    Well done on the OP for January. We haven't got anywhere near our target- in fact I'm feeling very down as we haven't really managed anything extra towards it at all!

    Good to see you back posting Jellie

    Well wierd dream of last night - we moved house and loved the house then realised it wasn't as big as we thought it was, then wondered if we would fit the corner sofa into the lounge as we hadn't measured it. previous owner had left lots of furniture in the house, we found a stray cat in a cupboard. Oh I do have wierd dreams.


    So it's the start of a new month! My account is poor already and I have two hen nights to pay for plus any last minute spending that needs to be done. I need to generate some funds this month is I'm going to achieve anything.

    Chilli cooked and portioned off for my dinner, also taking a pot of fruit.
    A second ebay item finished today, netting another £6.

    Bank accounts looking dire already with a lot to pay for this month, so we're going to have to so some serious juggling I think. Never mind it's all a challenge, and there is quite a lot of food in the house so I'm going to have to get inventive.
