Thanks bit worried have messed it up as thought I was on a months notice but looks like it might be week for every year I have worked which would mean 9 weeks Waiting for boss to get back to me as meant to be starting new job on 25 March Hoping I can work something out. Sent a couple of minor queries to the HR at new job before all of this and havent heard back yet so not panicking just yet, just said to my OH and mum that I may have neither job yet :rotfl:

Fab news, hope they will let you leave when you need to. Have you got any holidays left for this year that you could take in lieu of notice period?

Morning, think will have a weeks worth of acrrued holiday but still leaves me poss 4 weeks short Hoping to see if I can speak to MD face to face on Friday and sort it out once and for all as feel a bit sick about it to be honest, just hope I havent messed it all up for both companies

Moneywise well lets just not go there :cool:

We are awaiting for the doors to be finished and then can pay remaining balance. But while they were doing windows OH and bro in law went to fix the gutter that was leaking and found out that part of the roof was rotten So got scaffolder coming today and roofer coming tomorrow and friday which wipes out nearly the rest of our savings. Will leave us with £295 of savings left (this doesnt include insurance, horse savings etc just our emergency pot). Should be grateful that we had these savings in the first place so havent resorted to more debt but still depressing especially with the !!!! up on the job front

A good thing is needed on this post as its far too depressing, received £3 in paypal from survey site and a few more watchers on ebay

Don't stress too much about the mistake, if the new company think you are the right person for the job they will probably be prepared to wait for you. Plus you never know, your current employer may release you early. Worrying won't improve the situation. I made a similar mistake when I moved 7 years ago and it all came right in the end.

Morning, thanks granny for your kind words Got a meeting on friday with boss so watch this space.

Roofers round today so OH at home but another bit of work done on the house.

Totalled up debts today as end of month and the debt has increased by £125 since last month This month has been expensive for hoss food, house maintenance and car service and know that if I can try and save more in the car pot this may not have happened, so a re-think on the budgeting.

Expensive day today, need to get fuel, £20 for farrier for sat, £40 for horse trainer for sat and sun and £30 for hairdresser on monday - luckily these are all budgeted for Am going out for lunch on sunday with some friends I havent seen in ages that isnt budgeted for but have enough in my misc budget for this

Morning

Emotional thoughtful weekend, have decided rightly or wrongly not to take the new position of the job and stick with where I am, am going to ask for more money not sure if I will get it but am currently in budget each month so will survive and I have weighed up the pros and cons hundreds of times and believe am making the right decision.

Hoss trainer twice this weekend, saturday was not good hossie totally threw all her toys out the pram was working but she was very naughty :mad:She misbehaved with the farrier too . Sunday she was much better, trainer wants me to start long reining her in the week, have some initial help with a friend so see if I can do a few days and hope it goes ok.

Booked a weekend away this coming weekend for my birthday, away fri night back sun evening. Mum has given me £200 for my birthday so this is covering most of this weekend Just going to chepstow area for a few days, just something different to do. Works out timing only have to pay someone to do hoss fri eve, all day sat and sun am so about £20 so thats not too bad either

2 items sold on ebay this weekend, one with me ready to post, the other waiting for payment, re-listed items that didnt sell but didnt put anymore on, must do some this week :cool:

Morning

Decided to stay where I am told both parties thought that was it but no, the manager from the new job emailed me and then called yesterday basically begging me to come to work for them, its really nice and am flatterred, mentioned about poss 9 weeks if do decide to come and they are fine with that and happy to wait, I would complete their team, so its thrown me, argh dont know what to do

On other exciting news (not ) had 16 NSD in february other ebayer paid so ready to post today spent £180 in sainsburys last night but that was some clothes and food but have £150 to cover this so not as bad as could be, dont seem to have clothes budget to something to think about. £27 min payment of NWP card out and £30 of sofa payment out so all heading in the right direction

lucielle

Hi BB can you write a list of pros and cons for both jobs? What does current boss think about you potentially leaving?

Morning, after peeing everyone off have made a decision to stay in current job, too much of this is dejavu for me of previous experience. Have probably peed of the agency and future employer but so be and thats it now. Have been to see my current boss today and everything is ok with him.:)

Now I need to concentrate on myself. Having a bit of a mini meltdown it seems, not really happy with anything. Was away this weekend with OH, just a short break and it was really strange, had so much indecision regarding the job that it put a downer on it and caused a lot of tension between me and OH I have made my decision and still OH and I not just right so need to sit down and work out where I am going.

I think I am getting selfish as I get older, I am not usually like this so something isnt right. I have evaluated some of my priorities and to me that is the hoss and having somewhere to live, I like it where I am now, just wouldnt be able to afford it on my own with the current situation. If I didnt have these debts would be in a much better position. I am forgetting about parents for now and concentrating on sorting the rest out somehow so can move on somehow with my life as just seem to be stuck in a rut and really unhappy with it
