    Not much happened today MSE wise, NSD which is always good.

    Am going back to some voluntary work next week , it's in the evening only about 2 hours after work. Plus I have got rid of some voluntary work , I took it on for a year and am still doing it 15 yrs later ! It doesn't interest me , time someone else stepped in.

    Some of the work politics got aired today , and was well accepted by management, so hoping for a positive outcome.

    I hope the office politics improve now, hate that :mad:.

    You need the suitcase and paid for it with survey money, just perfect :T.

    I'm glad you're feeling well finally and had a nice mother's day :).

    That sounds like a good price for Tripp suitcase and they last for ages. I've got one I bought years and years ago. Been to loads of places but doesn't get out much anymore.
    Sounds like a good buy. I'm still waiting on first yougov money but shouldn't be too long. It's good that you bought something nice for yourself instead of Day-to-day spending. xxx

    We are on the same page Cumbria. My work politics were awful but have got better thank goodness! And I was doing voluntary work for a similar length of time and I am saying no more too. Sometimes change is good:)
    Have a lovely weekend
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 800/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    Decision to sort voluntary work sounds good as does the decision to buy case for your hols.

    I'd intended a trip to TC today but it wasn't to be....

    How do you use the multi quote button? I don't seem to have the hang of it.
