    Wow busy few days.
    Have been offered a secondment at work for a year so that means a change of job and some exciting stuff coming up.

    Horse behaving himself (mostly!) and even dared a canter on him yesterday - it was quite successful and he even stopped!

    Lots of spending over the BH Friday to celebrate new job!, Monday out for lunch and to buy some new clothes for new job (although didn't end up spending much I did realise I couldn't go to important meetings in my primarni!)

    Short week this week so happy days!!

    Ha ha sooo true! We are getting there!
    In London today so had to buy lunch. New job means travel so will need to be better organised on taking lunch when travelling. No petrol used today tho so still a saving overall!
    Fed up with rain :(

    Totally get that logic. You have to live a bit as well.

    I have to keep in mind, its not going to be long now if I stick with my plan! I'm hoping that when my new job starts next month, I'll be so busy that I wont notice not having a life. As the job is only for a year the timings could work out nicely!
