Thank you all
So pleased I've got a "proper" job at last and I can go for promotion. It's such a weight off my mind.
Mr SA has been confused since we got home and had a panic attack when he fell asleep watching something on C4 and woke up watching C4 +1 thinking time had stood still. His brain can't cope with this sort of thing. I don't know if anyone has seen the bizarre Ribena advert but he gets quite stressed when he sees it.
Anyway I'm putting my feet up with a celebratory glass of wine tonight.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Enjoy ...:) but hope Mr SA feels more balanced soon

I have had some fantastic news work-wise today. I'm being taken off my contract and TUPE'd into my job, keeping my service, holidays and pension. :j I know this has been ongoing since last year but it's finally officially happening this year - end of September/early October time. This will more or less mean that I now have a safe job until I retire :j And I can now think about that re-mortgage for a new kitchen, bathroom and boiler. Can't tell you how relieved I am.
Brilliant news, both for Mr SA

Best win so far - holiday to Florida0 -
Quick update - lost another half a pound at WW - pleased as I don't think I was that good. 8lbs in total now.
Typical that at work two people are leaving on my team both from jobs a grade higher than me that I could easily do and I can't apply until I am officially in house. I've offered to cover their roles in the hopes I can get a foot in the door and maybe drag it out until October then apply.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Well done on the loss SA, 8lbs is great xMummytogirls x0
