    Hiya att I'm still here lurking more than writing. Work is still interesting my manager is really nice but still quite prone to being bullied by other paid staff. My sister and family are here on holiday for 10 days so have some time off with them. Money savingswise I am rubbish struggling to live on my new reduced salary need to start a new diary at some point.

    DH still being a pain with regards to taking doctors advice not drink. His memory is better though.

    Give me some time and I shall be back, work is quite hectic too but I do love it definitely the right decision to leave travelling job and settle down locally.

    Hi TG, great to hear from you and also great to hear that your new job is the right move for you and it sounds like for a number of reason

    Good luck with your plans and look forward to hearing about them. There's bound to be a period of you adjusting to your lower salary, I think it's probably a bit like when you move house and it takes a while to get to grips with what the new costs and bills are so it might take a few months for you to feel more 'steady' but don't be disheartened, think of all the great things you have achieved in the last few years re getting MF, loads of big expensive home improvements, holidays, new car, redundancy, your DH's business and health, you've done so much so you'll get through this next stage too

    Take care
    Regards
