The Sky's The Limit November NSD Challenge with fireworks and treacle toffee for all!

Nargleblast

Today is, as planned, NSD number 1 for me!

Igor, I know we have a month of celebrating Guy Fawkes ahead of us, but when I said I wanted my lunchtime fillet steak served on a bed of rocket with a hot salsa.......put the fireworks away somewhere safe and tell Hubert to stop shaking his maracas, that is definitely not a hot salsa......(memo: stop Hubert watching Strictly Come Dancing..)

I think I'll aim for 4 in a row as well and see how I get on

Please sign me up for 15 NSDs again.

I'm adding one additional 'allowed spend' to my list as of this month - bus tickets so I can get to/from work.

Needed now as I'm changing job - after less than 3 months in my current one

I went for an interview for a job I really, really fancied in September, but was told someone had scored slightly higher in the interview So imagine my surprise when I got a call almost 2 weeks ago to say the vacancy had become available again, and was I still interested. Given it's "nicer" hours than my current one (0900-1348 with a guarantee of 24 hours a week, compared to 0600-1430 on a zero hour contract so no idea how many days/hours a week until the rota goes up) and a much better hourly rate (the 24 hours equates to 33.5 hours where I am now) with bonuses and the possibility of overtime as well, the answer was a resounding "yes". (I also have 'issues' with some procedures where I am now that were making me seriously think about looking around for other work anyway.)

So as of 9th November I will be a "Postwoman with driving" for R0yal Mail. The driving is only to get to/from the walking round though, so they will mainly be paying me to walk up to 8 miles in about 4 hours a day (for 5 days a week). At the moment I'm walking 4 miles to work and the same home again for nothing at almost twice that pace, so it should be a piece of cake The only drawback is that it takes 2 hours to get there by bus, and 1.5 hrs to get home again I'm hoping that eventually I can either get a transfer to a delivery office closer to home (to enable to walk a short distance) or work my legs up to walking/cycling the 6.7 miles each way to this one which shouldn't take much longer (walking) or even be quicker (cycling)., but in the meantime I'll be making sure my e-reader is kept charged and will start to work my way through a fairy large library of free books I've been loading onto it....

Sounds like a much better job, cw - hopefully it will mean stability for you. And as you say you could at some point get a transfer to a round that means less commuting for you, so fingers crossed!

NO nsd for me today,
I've purchased some Christmas presents for my cousins,
though i've gotten them cheaper than where I was going to buy them from.

I've planned for monday,wednesday,Thursday for no spend days,
I'm hoping to grab a few more than that but the weekend is tricky to grab them aha.
It's really the only time I get to spend time with my partner.
