 All better now, thanks, Cheery 😊Cheery_Daff said:Ooh, excellent work on the weight loss, and I'm sorry to hear DH now has a job 😂 Hope he can find a replacement quickly 😂
 Hope you're all feeling better soon too
 They really like DH - they've offered him more money and to stay on for 3 days/ week - he's said yes, as he's kind of enjoying sorting out the issues there in a strategic based way. It's a good deal, in that he has more time at home than at work - and they've increased his salary to do that 🙌🙌I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £205

 Thanks, sh. They've ended up letting him reduce his hours for more money 😁Well done on the weightloss. Good news about DH's job - he can quit and possibly reduce his hours when he's ready. You could use the funds from his job to lighten your load by getting a cleaner.
 Well done on the room refurb and the baking. All sounds good.
 He's still doing HR, kp.killerpeaty said:What kind of job does your partner have now?
 Congrats on the weight loss! You must feel great after losing so much!
 I feel so much better - and have just put trousers that were too small for me in May/ June in the V1nted pile, as they're now too big!I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £204

 Thanks, Watty. It's slowed up this month, with only about 2 or 3 pounds lost - but that's still a loss, and so therefore a win! 😁Watty1 said:just had a catch up.

            So as well as DH's job (which will be part time after Xmas) I've had 2 grade rises and a decent pay rise myself with effect from Nov 1st 😁 - yay! Feels like some things are falling into place 😊
 DS1 has a new gf - met her for the first time today - she seems lovely, for which I'm glad (was not a fan of the last 2 - not that I would have said that to him, but they both ended up doing the dirty on him)
