Hello everyone,
La escocesa - Thanks for starting us off. Congrats on your lotto win & good luck with the promotion!
DNMS - You are such a busy bee
What's the flat like? I shall keep my fingers crossed for you!
Pixie - Hope you have a lovely quiet night to yourself, & long may it continue into the weekend! You deserve a break.
Skyvicky - Welcome
Rock_cakes - It's your decision to make but I would run it by your DH soon, just to see what he says! How would you see each other/keep in touch & make it work? How long would a new contract be for? Is it definitely not worth signing up to it just so you have something & can keep looking elsewhere?
Rdchick - Congrats on the new job :T
Mrs Butler - Blimey, you'll sleep well tonight after that! What woke you up?
I'm in a good mood as it's Friday!!! :j & better still, I have been moved at work so I have my own desk once again, wahey! Small things make me smile, perhaps that's why I like this thread so much :rotfl: On a business note though, it does make me feel more organised, as once again everything has a place, hehe.
Anyway, today's plan:-- [STRIKE]Heating off [/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Food from stores [/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Make use of free coffee/milk/water etc at work [/STRIKE] - They have changed our coffee machine again, no more free soup, squash or hot chocolate
Bad times... - [STRIKE]Charge phone via pc[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Log calories on free app[/STRIKE]
- Log any expenditure on free app
- Pop to Mr T's, OH needs some probiotic drinks as he's having to take some rather nasty antibiotics
- Decided to go do a big shop tomorrow instead & get a petrol voucher - [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Dinner from meal plan[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Check emails & online banking[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Read Miss Minimalist some more[/STRIKE]
- Make a start on decluttering
- Get at least 1 item ready for listing on ebay, but preferably a few items I want to sell at more than 99p to take advantage of the free listing weekend
- [STRIKE]Transfer money over to VSP[/STRIKE]

Not sure how long the contract would be but it tough to do both at the same time, as I would doing a project and getting time off for interviews would tricky, very tricky. Plus the two month notice can be a bind. Oh well, we will see what DH says. Have to say the prospect doesn't thrill me, just being practical.*Official DFW Nerd #1368 - Proud to be dealing with my debts*

Maybe you just need to weigh up how long it will take you get another job if you quit, & how long if you stick with it. Hard to tell I know, but if you quit will it really help all that much?:idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:

The thread is very quiet today, I hope everyone else is off having a fabulous time! As for me, I am off for a few :beer: soon! Only taking £20 out so I can't overspend, & my OH is being a dear & giving me a lift into town & back, so no taxi fares either
So I'm afraid that is all I will be getting done on my list tonight, but tomorrow is another day & I shall catch up then! Have a great night everyone x :idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:
