    Tuesday started with me stubbing my toe quite painful , then driving to work , nearly getting killed by an HGV who decided to move lanes without looking without a quick manoeuvre I would have been hit. Anyway got to work a bit shaky but fine. Then we had more work politics as my employers can't make simple decisions and that went on all day , so you can imagine by the time I left i was ready for the day to end.

    Yesterday was a. quiet day , I did spend 80p on soup at work ! Today we are going back to politics if the meeting goes ahead. The issues are all surrounding the new job I am supposed to be starting January , and how my fellow colleagues will operate . There is a lot of me me me , and to be honest I am fed up with the whole situation, I will happily stay as I am .

    Back later with an update if anything gets sorted . Australia plans are moving forward nicely but there will be panic stations if I don't keep going .

    Have a good day everyone.

    Your incident on your journey to work made me feel shaky just reading it. Glad you are okay.
    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 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
    Debt Free (again) 25/072025
  • Glad your ok ,I thought you meant you had done something financially naughty hence the wagging finger,I hope the office politics are sorted soon, we have had a little upset in my immediate groups of colleagues in the past week and it's so petty and trivial I can't even be bothered to explain it,suffice to say I am staying well out of it as there are more important things to thinking about
    Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,120
