I've also bought some presents for Christmas. Nothing wrong with starting early! Glad you had a nice day with your friend and good luck with the babysitting

I hope work has settled down. My work and politics fluctuates too. It is a shame as like you I enjoy my job when the nonsense is removed.
Well done in getting back into the gym groove 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

Thank you everyone for words of help and comfort about work. Things have improved a little this week. We are on an away day next week, then on the 15th we have a review of our team after being together 6 months. There may well be some more changes afoot.
Two NSD this week so far, I am sticking to meal plan , the freezer is emptying nicely .
Bad news lots of local RBS are closing near me , although it isn't my main bank , I have accounts with them because it is near to work . It's closing in November which is a loss . Don't often use a branch , usually to pay the odd cheque in. However have just used Halifax mobile cheque pay in on my phone , it's very good to know the facility is there . Bit excited by it really, means no more queueing in a bank.
Sad for the staff in the branches though.
Two more work days , before I am off to the north east for five days . Filled car up tonight £39.84 in readiness. Even the weather forecast looks decent. I so need a change of scenery and no responsibilities.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
