You make a good point, Squirrel. If I used all of my 7 commuting hours a week to do extra work I would still be £100 up a month.
I was chatting to the checkout operator in Liddly. Ours is massive and they run it with only 6 staff. He does 5 days ten hour shifts. They must have euper effective recruitment not to end up in chaos.0 -

Yes, good luck with selling the house. You have a lot on your mind at the moment, and I hope you can put it to the back of your mind and enjoy a special few family days xPaid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -
We have battened down the hatches (literally, a storm is coming!) until beyond boxing day. I have forgotten chocolate money and brandy but we will manage without.
Can you light port on a christmas pud?!0 -
Good luck with the house sale, I do hope it happens this time.
As for the job, I'd stick with the one you have and enjoy. To move would be a risk if you are currently happy with your work, in my opinion.2018 totals:
Savings £11,200
Mortgage Overpayments £5,5000 -
