HELO JOURNAL FRENDS
I got a 10% payrise from "not nearly enough" to "not quite enough", so now I have to figure out what to do next. Our tax returns came in just in time for the water bill, car insurance, etc. I also got the second part of "family tax benefit" which I put straight on the mortgage (we can redraw as required: this is great). We should be fine for the next couple of months but I want to put a budget together and make sure it's workable for the long term. The project I was working on is winding up (though I still keep getting work to do) and it looked like I'd be moving on to a "support team" but now there's another possible project for which I need to provide an updated CV and meet the clients on Friday.
In any case, I'm taking next week off to do stuff around the house. I made an off-the-top-of-my-head list of things that need doing and it has 26 things on it.
Janey is doing her flute exam next month, on the day before Toby's birthday. She's just about entirely convinced that she won't pass, but that's not for lack of effort since she's been practising constantly since the last exam. My role is just to try and reduce her stress in the meantime.
Toby can clap and wave and is learning to stand by himself. He is an unending source of entertainment.
