It's a full reorganisation where the aim is to get rid of up to 25% of the staff, so none of us know where we will sit or if we'll have a job by the end of it. They were both in the play for new jobs but didn't get them, there will also be other senior staff going. The rest of the organisation still to be restructured. It's horrible for us all but in a way worse for them as they were restructured last year, and this has all happened since then.teapot2 said:Glad you are both pleased with the work. Were senior managers being re-interviewed for their current jobs or a reorganisation or have I misunderstood?

Hurrah, the electrics are all finished now! Hopefully he'll send the invoice through quickly so that I can get it paid. I don't like things hanging around. That's probably 2/3rd of the house rewired now, the last part will be the hardest due to there not really being any way we can easily empty our bedroom so that the floorboards can be lifted. The other bit will be the kitchen, but that's just a whole new nightmare and not one to worry about for now until we've got a lot more savings behind us.
I've had a productive day at work, trying to tackle my to do list before I go on leave. One more day to go. I look forward to the break! My health anxiety is starting to manifest again, so I definitely need a break from everything, it's usually a sign that I'm getting overwhelmed."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Happy Thursday! My last day today so I've been up early as I'm determined to crack my to do list before I go on leave.
Invoice from the electrician came, and so I've paid that, and left him a positive review.
I'm on a 13 day streak for duolingo now, and am enjoying it. Little miss has signed up as well as she liked the look of it. I'm tempted to take the 2 week trial of the ad free version while I'm off.
Have a good day everyone

I'm now on leave, hurrah! No plans either, so that feels nice. We can do whatever we fancy. The kids have already informed me that we are going swimming tomorrow."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
