  • Morning World,

    Oh my word, do you ever feel that there are too many decisions and too many parts of life that are outwith your control?

    Good news is i joined weightwatchers online via £co but immediately decided it wasn't for me so cancelled it. Well today £co are saying that £30 cashback has been confirmed:j:j:j

    Work are looking for voluntary redundancies and i asked for a quotation. This arrived in the post yesterday, i now have to make a decision by Friday:eek:, the offer is far better than statutory redundancy and this may stay on the table in the future if they fail to get enough interest this time, but it sounds as if they have enough interest, so it may be a one time offer...

    I have always wanted my own business but i've never had the 'idea' so have bumbled along in an area i dislike and now working with people i dislike to, so this makes being objective very hard.

    There is a business up for sale that would suit me but it is a 45 mile drive away and i would have to work there, so would be doing the best part of 100 miles a day, with the children in school up here, or move them to a school there but means they'd have to be up with me at a really stupid time, 5am, so again useless.
    If they stayed in their current schools then DH would struggle to do his hours and cover the school run. And i just don't know if i could afford childcare immediately, and tbh i don't want them to be looked after by anyone else...

    Obviously the other problem is we're not free of the bankruptcy yet, by the time the redundancy happened i'd be six months from the end, so i'm sure if i could continue to meet the monthly payments they'd be alright about it but i won't know until it happens...

    Right tea and more pondering:eek:

  • Hi PWD, £1.20 is better than nothing which is exactly how much I have had from them, seem to take forever for them to pay out now.
  • 1st of the month and another payment away, so only 12 to go to freedom:j:j
    I can't believe how quickly time is flying by, in my head it still feels like it's Jan / Feb, not flipping May:eek:
    So i suppose this means it's only 365/366 days until we are free of payments for the BR.:D:D

  • Are everyone else's children full of boundless energy and seem to enjoy fighting each other?
    I could scream, actually i have, just made me feel like a rubbish mother to add to the rest of it!

    Anyway, two have now gone swimming with DH and DD is glued to a Harry Potter dvd.
    They have been outside for days and yet you could wire them up to the grid and save a fortune.

    I've got masses of prep to do for my night classes, four of them this week - very scared, so i suppose that's making me more noise sensitive!
    Still i can't wait to get started and see how i cope in front of a classful of strangers:eek:.

    Have decided i'm going to close the vanquis card once i have the cashback. Don't want credit ever ever again - i really hope this can happen, probably not possible as everything will fail at the same time and i won't have enough savings but a girl can dream:D.

    Nothing else doing, £23 on onepoll, £3 on pureprofile, no surveys on mysurvey and no ebay mojo, bored bored bored as they say on the argos advert!

    Hi Polly

    My 2 love fighting with each other, it seems to be a daily mission to wind me up with their constant bickering. I try and ignore it and move out of the room their peforming in but they usually end up following me around!!

    Hope the evening classes go ok, are you teaching accountancy?
  • Thanks Choo, that's exactly what they do, have mock fights and battles but someone usually does get hurt, ggrrrr!!

  • Ohh sorry, just doing stand in / holiday cover where needed but it would give me a dribble of income if the redundancy thing happens and something new on the cv if i need to look for a new job - eekk.
