    Thanks! ;)

    In today's good news, I have a job :D Just a temp one for £7.50 an hour, but better than nothing. I start a week on Monday. There's a good chance it could lead to something permanent so I'm hopeful about that. I'll be on a tight budget though as it's not a lot of money to work with :eek:

    You clever sausage :-)

    That'll be a weight off your mind, and then you can use your redundancy money for something lovely

    Here's hoping! I know that I won't be making as much money as before, but will have to dip in to less of my savings so should hopefully be able to do fun things too :)

    About to get ready to go to Fat Club this morning and it's so cold that the thought of it isn't appealing at all :snow_grin On the plus side, as I am a paid helper I should be getting some extra pennies in December - and more than normal as I forgot to submit about two months worth of timesheets :o


    This is my last Fat Club for a fortnight as it's my birthday next week and I didn't want to work on it. I'm looking forward to Monday too as it's my best friend's birthday and we have afternoon tea booked :D

    There's a nice low target on Swagbucks this morning, and if I reach it I will be able to redeem another £5 voucher so I'm going to try and get a survey done before I leave the house.

    Great news on the temp job. I temped for a good while when I first moved to a big northwestern city and I loved the flexibility. Don't like the work or the people? No prob - just leave :)

    Happy fat clubbing - I'm back on the fat club wagon, too, so that I stay on the fairly straight and narrow over the holiday season. I've got rather too big a weakness for mince pies and all things festive but naughty!
    Mortgage free as of 11/11/15 !
    :Anow... to start some serious saving :A

    I managed to claim my £5 Amazon voucher yesterday which was good and have now bought the last Christmas present :j

    Today has been a very relaxing day spent faffing on the internet and making a card for my friend's birthday tomorrow. We're going for afternoon tea which should be fun :D
