    Thanks, not heard of that one. Think I need to look at more survey sites.

    Are you any further forward with making a decision about work??

    Ps. tell me to beggar off if you think I'm being too nosy!!

    No not at all. I chickened out of the letter reducing hours and hubby thinks I'm wrong. I'm too damn dedicated and don't want to rock the boat for my own good lol. Realistically I know a change of hours request wont get me what I want and it'll give me a month of sarcy comments and extra work just to be offfered something worse more than likely with the comment of "well this is all I can offer you" and she'll be in her rights to do that.

    What I am doing however is looking for another job anyway and I have made the decision to leave if that little switch goes off in my head and I really don't want to be there anymore. With that attitude I hope I can carry on in a good frame of mind whilst I get another job and save some cash for if the inevitable happens.

    I'm really plugging the business now and I have made a sale a day for the last four. Wont keep me in wages, but it's a positive step.

    Nice custom order from my website last night which was a good boost to the confidence as well as sales as it was a returning customer.

    I've moved £5 into savings this morning, cooked dinner for work tonight and WILL NOT go into the shop.
    Yesterday I saved petrol and walked to pick dd up from school and will do that as and when weather and time allow. She hated it but she'll get used to it, she's too lazy for her own good when it comes to walking.

    Just waiting on money landing and then I can make my next OP. Then it's onto the next target of £50 for another OP.

    You're supposed to be buying stuff, not checking her out ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    sorry Froggy, not sure what's going on. I've just tried it and it let me go through the process.

    Glad you didn't think I was being nosy :o I think your plan sounds good ~ if you know you don't have to stay, & are actively looking around for something else, then that gives you a bit of hope & a bit of a lift at the same time :) I'm living somewhere I don't want to be, but making plans to escape asap & that thought keeps me going on a daily basis, there's light at the end of that there tunnel... ;)

    Hope the website glitch is sorted, let me know if you want me to test it out for you.
