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 

All better now, thanks, Cheery 😊

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 🙌🙌

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.

Thanks, sh. They've ended up letting him reduce his hours for more money 😁

What kind of job does your partner have now? 

Congrats on the weight loss! You must feel great after losing so much!

He's still doing HR, kp. 

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!

just had a catch up. Impressive weight loss.

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! 😁

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)

Hi greent, glad things are going well with both the jobs and the weight loss, that’s amazing well done!

First week of term 2 done - 6 more to go 😁

Booked this yesterday to go to with friends over the Xmas break: https://christmasfeast.thelostestate.com/book/?tw_source=fb&tw_adid=120234151081150785&utm_medium=paid&utm_source=fb&utm_id=120234144257190785_v2_s03&utm_content=120234151081150785&utm_term=120234144257190785&utm_campaign=120234144257130785&fbclid=IwY2xjawN8WaRleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQBqyh2f45mMWJyaWQRMExIbnpQZHFTOVdtZ0FPOFdzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeWIwa30f3hbVm04T4TDn-eVPiWs1RD1GYSwWL4k2NN-_3USa0D2UZHVDl-Yw_aem_QSGHeuTzt4yfLmAm4KLHVA
Not cheap!! - but am hoping its going to be a memorable experience! 😀

My V1nted addiction still continues - I have another 7 items due to arrive within the next week or so (although 2 are for youngest DS) - that's after collecting 6 last week......(5 of which were clothing items for me) 😳 o do have more than a dozen items to list, though, to help offset it - I am just lacking enthusiasm to do so!

Sounds fantastic @greent - enjoy!

Have lots of fun. 

Great news about DH reducing his hours and getting a pay rise - and you getting a pay rise too. It all helps.

I would love that.  Although it seems seems a lot of money it looks well worth it.  I hope you have a great time.  My brother and nieces went to the Charles Dickens museum last week, after going to see Oliver, and enjoyed both.
