    Oh well done you :j. It's amazing how you can get out of the habit with such things - the practice will be good regardless of the outcome!

    Don't forget to stock up on chocs to prevent any pre-assessment panics ;)

    Hi Nora, sorry I've not been about. The hours for the new job are keeping me busy.

    Good news on the rent reduction. Good luck for the assessment, I know you'll do fab.

    As for your paperwork I'm like that, I hate it but now I am working contract I need to do the paperwork every week or I don't get paid!
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    So. Quick update as heading off to bed like a good girl...

    Got the job (yay!). Started last Monday - 6 weeks of training to survive (though I think that's going ok...haven't been fired yet, which is my usual measure of success). Loving being back at work. Loving not being the boss even more....

    Seriously still considering moving to a smaller place, and one which is more local to where I work and spend most of my time generally - could seriously do with saving the time and petrol I spend driving around....

    With that in mind, I'm off to view a place tomorrow - and when I've got more time, I must tell you about the cottage I viewed a couple of weeks ago with the 'interesting' stairs....

    Righto, I know there's much more - but I really am ker-knackered, so I'll be back soon to update you more...

    Hugs to all.
