    Thanks Me!

    Well, best laid plans. Just had news that Mr is finishing his contract on 23rd December. :( Good job that I havent been out and bought a load of christmas food in yet. Belts are about to be tightened some more. Oh well, two steps forward , one step back.

    Yes, bad news but to be honest I was expecting it. Thanks all. It just means that we will have to be a bit meaner (I can do frugal) and spend less on christmas this year but that suits me fine.

    He applied for 2 jobs last night so hopefully something will come up. It might mean that he goes to work away again but we will cross each bridge as it comes.

  • belated Happy Bday Mrs M :), and so sorry to hear about Mr M's job. At least it wasn't a huge surprise, not that it makes things any easier really.
