    Wow P*M that's fantastic! So exciting and what a feather in Mr. P*M's cap to be so wanted :T

    Glad you still have options which might allow you to keep your new job too, that's brilliant!

    Enjoy these happy times of plotting and planning ... more than happy to gaze in awe and wonder at your lists and see how this next part of the journey takes shape!

    How far sarf will you be coming? I'm seaside sarf and although house prices have gone up considerably they're better than big smoke prices! I guess you'll be looking at lots of areas for feasibility for travel expenses to both jobs, house prices etc ... lots to think about indeedy and lists involving highlighters and colour, I should think!:D

    Make sure you both have a good celebration this weekend and many congrats again X

    Congratulations Mr. PM...what fantastic news! Especially after all the stressful times lately. I live on the outskirts of the big smoke so if you need any suggestions on areas to consider, let me know. I'm only an expert on my little corner but it's one of the cheaper areas while still being nice, green and decent commute into the city.

    There has been much plotting & planning & birthday shenanigans (not mine yet, alas!) going on that I've gone quite awol! Am giving myself a proper day off today and will do a big catch up in a bit... :D

    I say day off, but actually I need to get some things done *list alert*
    • laundry, as much as poss
    • flesh out a short story
    • get another writing project back into action :j
    • dishwasher on
    • warm compress to sort out my dry eyes, waah
    • make rock cakes & currant buns
    • await council result with trepidation
    • realise I'll be gone in a few weeks so it won't matter
    • nervously check council results in possible new locations
    • watch something filmic this afternoon and start catching up on MSE :j

    ETA:
    • clean the bathroom omg, just noticed the state it's in :eek:
    • get rubbish & recycling sorted
    • start another charity shop bag
