    Afternoon all!

    Work has been super stressful with that IT issue! i'm considering looking for another job too, I want something local as I travel 34 miles there and back every day, I know some drive further but I want a better work life balance as Euro Car Parts doesn't offer this at all!

    Awesome, bet you're excited!

    My boyfriend and I are selling our 2 houses now and buying a new build in Caerphilly, it's going to be a stressful few months! At least you don't have to worry about moving everything and packing boxes!

    Yeah, I think I've posted before on your photos up the mountain with your pup. I volunteer with Guide Dogs so always enjoy a forest walk :)

    Evening!

    Was asked for authorisation on completion of the house today but the seller hadn't come back to the solicitor in time so we have to do it again tomorrow which is annoying but hopefully will be sorted for Friday!

    Spent all day out visiting customers today which was fun, super tired today though
