I'd kind of forgotten about this thread - I got an offer after a day and a half and ended up cramming loads of things to do into three days.
I've had a week in between projects since and I was good and did a cert.
I still found the whole thing strange even with work to go back to and It's going to take me a while to get a big enough war chest (that isn't really our house deposit as I've mentioned before) so I can really start enjoying my time out. Credit card paid off with my next dividend though and then I'm debt free.Last edited by vwdan; 3 June 2014, 20:30.Comment
