    Nice to see you back DIA. Sometimes time away is needed. You seem to have some excellent plans in place. Enjoy the bag.

  • Good to see you posting, more envious of the clear garden than the bag but that is just me being odd.

    Hope the job thing comes out the way you want, but nipping in the Ikea loan first makes sense.

    The bag sounds lovely and although it may be a bit extravagant, everyone deserves a treat at some point. And the fact that it's functional makes it all the more worthwhile!

    Wow - you've got all the career stuff going on right now! Sounds like a couple of exciting prospects ahead though. As things progress, you can see what suits you best!

    Happy new handbag DIA - I have just bought that brand in the same retailer so clearly great minds think alike ;) :beer:
    Good luck with your interview. Love the sound of being able to reduce your hours, and as you will be DF and MF and have private work that you can add to if you wish, it sounds like things are all lining up!

    Oh thanks Beanie :A, yes it probably is. I always put off checking the exact mortgage amount as it's a faff to get into the account, but it would be nice to see that progressing!

    Haha. All that bravado and someone has just asked me to do some work with them privately and I'm scared to tell them my new rate :o

    Eat that frog.
    You know you can.
    I am still trying to work out your line of work!
