    Oh has anyone claimed back their bank charges, in the olden days I think mine were epic.

    Wondered how easy it was/is must read martins blurb on it all.

    I also had a serviced account I hardly used.

    Must read more.

    I'm mindful today that I'm juggling lots of working outdoors/in an office type thoughts in my head. Work is still a bit crazy. I like where I am but can't say that I like the way they treat some of their staff. Longer term I am not sure how sustainable that is for me.

    You see, I have a big mouth. And opinions to match, that won't go well.

    Haven't had a confirmation for the application I put in on Monday but the closing date was yesterday.

    I'm also not sure in the short-medium term that I want to remain self-employed.

    I'm doing a fair bit of thinking, which I guess is always good.

    Crazy stuff cheery and thank you guys he's now booked his test!

    DD heads off to NZ today for two months, whilst I know its only a skype call away, still seems just a long long way. Wished her safe travels.

    Nothing heard about job application, I guess I could phone and make sure they got it........ponders.

    Working on a report today might take all day, so of course its sunny.

    Will check bank in a bit.
