The CV is ready to go, link all updated and I'm ready to go!!!
Only downside is there's a few reasons that id rather work part time rather than full time and I'd need to work full time if I leave this job.
I'm very unlikely to survive the cut but I'm past stressing about it and I'm going to go with the flow. Other people have left my place and say that they are way less stressed in their new place so what ever happens it will work out in the end. I'll try full time and if it doesn't work out I'll leave and try something else!Mortgage balance Feb 2015 start of MFW Journey-£245316.06/Aim to be mortgage neutral 2022 — Target for May 2024 14 Year Target Balance MF50 = £89,535 — Mortgage Balance £106, 000—Target for May 2024! £89,535

Having been made redundant myself about 6 years ago, it is hugely stressful, but, ultimately , it was the catalyst that made me start on big life changes.
My whole office was made redundant, and everyone who wanted a new job found one in the end - I bet you have loads of transferable skills.
One of the worst things is waiting to find out what will happen, so I sympathise with youEarly retired - 18th December 2014

Well NYE ended with one of my friends with a broken leg! She slipped with flat shoes on!!!! I can't believe it, I held her bloody leg together and could feel the bones moving inside. She's to get pins and everything. We got her into a taxi cause an ambulance wouldn't come for her and the doc said she should have been in an ambulance.
Back to mortgage balance £233849 now but hope to sort out more in Monday by moving some cash about. Then I'll work out how to meet this years target!!!Mortgage balance Feb 2015 start of MFW Journey-£245316.06/Aim to be mortgage neutral 2022 — Target for May 2024 14 Year Target Balance MF50 = £89,535 — Mortgage Balance £106, 000—Target for May 2024! £89,535
