@Sarahwithlove - I really don't want to. I love my job and also have a Civil Service Pension so would rather stay and hold on to that! I'm gonna just ride out the storm and see what happens.

Fingers crossed for you then that it all works out

Well done on being debt free, delighted for you! Looking forward to read about your journey! I am still living on my CC for now while getting final savings for renovation and then from October full focus on CC debt (few £k so not too dramatic) and mortgage overpayments. Will be cheering for you and getting my needed inspiration, 2030 sounds very exciting, good luck!

Bathroom was flooded this week. I called the council as the house above me is a council flat. Neighbour didn't hear anything from them so he called the emergency repairs people out, they came and had a look last night and the waste pipe was loose so that's all sorted. He very kindly offered to come down, plaster and redecorate my bathroom. It was identified and fixed in less than 24hrs so a wee wash of the walls will do it. Really appreciate that though, good to have a nice neighbour.

Tidied up my living room and bedroom yesterday in between work and walking dogs so those 2 rooms look lovely. Today I am going to tackle the kitchen and I need to get into the habit of giving the whole place a wee once over every day. Here's to making new habits and having them stick!

Had a look over the bank accounts today and I am happy to report that my savings are now £2,500! I'm just getting myself better prepared incase I need to give up on the dog walks during the week. 

New boss hasn't given a very good first impression so not holding out much hope on her tbh.
