Right where was I? Payday again so another £100 towards mortgage and some to savings, need to OP a further £400ish in order to make my target so looks doable. Wee shortfall in budget to make up by end of august so sorting that out week by week to avoid taking it out of savings.
Work still same old, same old but not long til I retire back to weekends again:cool: there are fun parts but it's not ultimately where I want to be. I've seen a fun voluntary job that would fit in with my course and help provide experience towards a job afterwards so need to work on an application for that.
ooo and did I mention I have a lovely new kitchen, still needing some stuff done but the external folk have done their bit and it all went smoothly:TMortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

13th August Lois, would be a fab thing to get involved in but not sure if they really want city folk but I can but try!Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Sounds intriguing. Would it be too nosy to ask why they might not want city folk?Starting again 13/4/19Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99Total owed: £28,801.49

I must have phrased that badly - I think they are looking for people who live in the city to do the project as it's working with Glaswegians but I am a wee bit away:o I don't think it should be a problem though, it's not a million miles away.Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

To be honest, it should not matter in the slightest, otherwise it's going to fall foul of EU labour mobility laws.
Can you imagine if I advertised for a job with the rider: "Must not be foreign." ?"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Oh, I see. My misunderstanding.
If you're happy to travel in I don't see why it should matter to them. Hope it all works out brilliantly for you.skint_spice wrote: »Just realised I hadn't updated the MF date on my siggy so here's current:
