    Vision board is done and I love it - it's up on the wall at the end of my bed and looks rather good if I say so myself... definitely worth buying the big picture frame as it makes it fit with the rest of the room really nicely.

    My internet is kaput though so apologies for being AWOL - posting this from work, service provider say it's all BT's fault and should be fixed tomorrow so fingers crossed!

    Also have interview tomorrow morning so wish me luck please :)

    Will be back to catch up with everyone as soon as I have my internet sorted!

    Well done Rosa perhaps a 'higher power' cut your internet so you'd have time to get your vision board done x

    Haha, it wasn't very good timing as I've had to prepare for an interview and also I needed the net to get pics for the board! I went round to a friends to pick up her connection so thankfully it hasn't caused a major issue. I still haven't got my YNAB updated though and BT have still not fixed my phone line so engineer coming early next week... I may try and do YNAB offline.

    MT the trip back to same holiday destination is mostly just because I want to and there is no guarantee of getting to see lovely man - but I will try! :)

    And in other news... I got the job :j :j:j this means a payrise, interesting and useful work and time to move house. Happy bunny :D

    Thanks lovely people :)

    It's only just sinking in... and I'm really excited as I really needed a change and I think this will be great for me.

    My intention now is to make plans for the year which will allow me to finish college while looking at moving once I do. And having a fab time in the process and of course hopefully finding that someone lovely :D.

    I'm waiting on the paperwork for new job but hopefully transfer date will be agreed early next week - I'm hoping for ASAP :rotfl:. Also, there's a possibility that a friend of mine might be returning to the area and we are seriously considering housesharing - it would mean we could have a bigger place while lowering our bills, and I've concluded I don't really like living on my own anyway :) so will see what happens over the next few weeks.

    All good :)

    I'm so so pleased for you Rosa. New job, new home and the vision board is also complete! Is it coincidence that once the vision board is done the new path starts forming???

    Such exciting times for you. MTxx
