    Fantastic news on being offered the new job and sounds like all looking good on the new guy front too. 4 or 5 more months and the debts will be gone too and you will be starting to build up savings. You really have got loads to look forward to.

    Wow to £700 on hair though :eek:. I thought my cut and highlights was expensive at £70. Glad you are looking for a more reasonable cost this time.

    Thanks guys. It’s funny how quickly life can turn around isn’t it. Maybe when you start taking control of one part of your life, the rest seems to align a bit more?
