    Great news - really pleased for you.
  • Great news and at least being debt free apart from your DHs loan means the lower salary would not be as much of a problem as it would be had you still had to make debt repayments. Well done. I expect that is a relief.

  • Thank you it’s a great feeling to just have the mortgage as debt in my name. 
    I had a look at my credit report and at its highest my unsecured debt was over £24,000 a few years ago 
  • Congrats on the job :)

    Hi all, started my new job on Monday. Working from home, everyone seems really lovely so thats a good start.
    Last week I was offered an interview for a job I applied for a few weeks ago (before I was offered this 18 month contract job Im at now)
    The interview is next week, I think I'm still going to do the interview as its a permanent job and I think a bit more money than the current job
