    You've put yourself in a great position with what you've done so far - onwards and downwards :T.

    Good luck with the job hunting :j.

    Thanks ladies! :)
    Feeling a bit more upbeat about life. No jobs to apply for really but I'm sure I'll get something part-time (hope). Concentrating my efforts on winding up in here first.
    OPs stopping soon - one to go - but who knows what's around the corner eh? Saw a sort-of suitable job for a salary of £80K the other day ( had missed the deadline of course!)- wowser - never earned that kind of money in my puff!!! Sigh. I can dream..........

    Have made a list of DIY jobs around the house - have been throwing out/ebaying and paid off £100 of the shelf unit this month! Lots of painting jobs to do and then there's the garden - so I won't be bored anyway!
    1.5 weeks of work to go..........eeek.
    May 2018 - £159k + £3.5K CC - let the countdown begin! :)
    March 2019 - CC gone and bye bye M2 on 31st! £140k to go.:j

    Well - that job I applied for but just missed out on have asked me back in for a chat - apparently they (bar the paperwork) have a second role...............OMG - could I be able to move from this job to another??????

    Hope I can meet them tomorrow otherwise I'll be too excited/nervous. A job? For me? Really? Oh - now that would put a TOTALLY different perspective on things! :j
