Thank you all so much for the lovely comments and well wishes ❤
Back to work today, although still very achy from all the dancing! Not a bad day overall just very busy. A couple of weeks ago an internal vacancy came up in a different department, a lot of my skills would be transferable to the role, I wouldn't be a supervisor anymore but it was more money, so I went for it and had an interview last week. I haven't heard whether I got it yet but I've been told it will be confirmed by the end of the week so fingers crossed.
My thank you cards arrived today and I've written about half of them this evening, mainly the ones I can hand deliver straight away. I'll work on the ones that need posting tomorrow and get them all sent out by the end of the week.
I've made an overpayment to the mortgage as we came under budget with the wedding, so £300 paid and the new balance is £40,300. October will be the month that I get into the 30s!!Starting Mortgage Balance (June 2019) £72,000. Mortgage Free November 2025!5 -
Higher pay for less responsibility sounds ideal, hope it's good news by the end of the week for you!4
