    Morning all :D

    Very quick post with some exciting news....

    I've finally had it confirmed (after waiting for MONTHS) that I have been approved for voluntary redundancy and will be leaving my company at the end of September. I'm already looking for jobs and hope to have something in place by the time that I leave. Assuming that I find work quickly, this will leave me a good chunk of cash to do many things that I've been wanting to do around the house and possibly even pay for a holiday :j:j

    Happy Fridays to all ;)

    Great news on the VR F_F - that'll make the job a lot more pleasant knowing they are paying you to leave:rotfl:
    And to have time to look for another - I had about 3 weeks when I got mine last year. :D On the up side I now have a nice part time job which becomes permanent tomorrow after nearly 8 months temping (it was a 4-6 wk contract :rotfl:) but we have put our house on the market and are hoping to move to Haworth in about 4 months.

    Life has it's little quirks :)

    It feels a bit odd saying :j to redundancy news :p but know that you don't really enjoy it all that much & you've been waiting for the kick up the butt to move onto pastures new:rotfl:
