    Thanks Mrs T!

    Greetings from a train into the chilly North. Wowsers it's cold everywhere today. Hope those pooches of yours only need a scamper in the back yard today!!

  • Hi Brizzle, it was bitterly cold this morning but the hard frost looked fab and certainly made me smile on the way to work :)

    Another small OP of 57p - I should stop and add them all up but not to worry. I will know next week whether my secret goal can be achieved - Mr T still doesn't know (sorry :D).

    NSD achieved - I have realised we have so much stuff in this house we could probably go through to end 2015 without buying more stuff - I don't mean food etc though.

    Maybe I should de stuff the house next year :D

    6 more working days to go :xmastree:

    Best wishes Tilly

  • 7 more days at work till :xmastree: for me!!
    wish it was less! :rotfl:
    It did look lovely in the frost today didnt it?
    cold though and made traffic rubbish!!

    Hope job works out for the best- as others have said tho its certainly a strange job market out there at the minute!
  • Hi TYO, fortunately I work for a pretty big organisation so will be having a wee look internally - it's like switching between companies as so many of the areas operate differently.

    I feel quite excited though as I love creating order from chaos - reminds me f sorting my kitchen cupboards :rotfl:

    If I got to the point where I was considering an external move, then I would want to be paid to leave - I'm sure many of us feel the same way. The economy is in a pretty strange state and definitely driving unusual behaviours.

    Ideally I want to clear another £100k before I will feel I can slow down a bit. That's no mean feat but at least I can see it is achievable now. That's a massive step in the right direction :T

    Now how many car boot sales or eb@y efforts would be required to do that :rotfl:

    Have a wam and cosy evening - it's going to be pretty chilly tomorrow
