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).
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
6 more working days to go :xmastree:

It did look lovely in the frost today didnt it?

Hope job works out for the best- as others have said tho its certainly a strange job market out there at the minute!1 -
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
