Oh the West Country is so great - I think its just London has this air where people genuinely don't care about each other. A prime example is we share a fence on our rental flat our landlord replaced the bit of fence that was broke and on 'our' side. Next door its been broken for over 3 months and they wont fix it tenants don't care and their landlord doesn't care. So our landlord has us going round there at all the time and they just dont answer. I feel that this isn't just a London problem I know, but firstly, we will never be able to afford a 'nice' house in London. I dont want a family in London - its not the right environment for us. Plus goodness knows how we will ever afford it. I will soon be debt free... plus we would like a car. Even if I wanted a loan at the moment it would be board (at my company) approval if I got one... Jesus, its so complicated. Its a fence! Look after each other people!
Bad news also is that with my debt problem I may not be able to move to another firm as an adviser... nightmare situation. Never mind fingers crossed it should be ok... xx

Hi all I have been off for a little while as had a short break for my birthday and then poorly over Easter! I hope you all got lots of chocolate and enjoyed a nice break.
So, project West Country update - I had two interviews in Bristol both of which went well and second of which I would SOOO love. Great little company in a little town outside. They have a board meeting on Wednesday (tomorrow!) so hopefully I will find out if I have the role or not! the other is self employed but when I said I couldnt take it further because of this they have asked me to put together a budget and they would employ me for a couple of months! amazing. Its a real boast to be getting good feedback from interviews.
So this time next week I could be on my notice OMG!!
MSE I have been really good sold some things on ebay (hope they dont go wrong - Ive had a nightmare in the past with ebay) and saving c£400 a month. We need this as its likely to cost us c£1,000 in deposit for new house in Bristol and then £400 moving cost plus we have no furniture so we would need to get this too so another c£400. all adds up very quickly!
Hope you are all good catch up soon xxx
