    Thanks Brizzled and Fortune although cooker envy is premature, as there is an annoying 6 week wait!!! It'll be here before Easter and I can have a roast. The anticipation is killing me :)

    I am seriously thinking of getting a lottery ticket. :)

    (Although it isn't luck in one way as I contacted them and wrote a proposal and started this ball rolling...)

    I just heard from the college I want to tutor at and they have offered me a term of teaching a class. It will be after work on one of the days I go in to the office for my other job, so I wouldn't be far and no extra expense in travel costs. It's 6-8pm which fits beautifully. This class is in addition to the proposal I made which the department head likes but needs section approval on.

    So, my decision to ease my debt repayment by £200 should not affect me as I will earn an additional £200 PLUS from May. So, back on target for DF by the end of December 2017 :T

    SO PLEASED AGAIN :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    That is amazing news DIA! Things are looking up indeed :)

    And what a compliment to be offered a tutorship - I hope all goes well when you begin.

    That will do me on the good news front. It's just so nice to get some good news after a run of stagnation and rubbish happenings. Thanks JoJo. :)
