    Back to work on the 3rd. Fingers crossed it goes well. Through an agency, so I can escape if it is a nightmare. Actually really looking forward to it.
    Off again for a week, then back to reality after four months.
    Paid 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:D

    Oh Squirrel Good Luck!

    I shouldn't moan, I am doing it for the experience and the career prospects.

    Very grateful to a horsey neighbour today. The Plops pushed the field gate off it's hinges whilst scratching her btm. Neighbour secured the gate so she didn't escape.
