I really do intend to update this blog more often than I do, I never seem to get the time and the motivation at the same moment though!
We're going to make some big changes to my whole life/job/debt/house situation, it's scary and a big step but we will come out the other side happier and with a generally better life.
I'm not particularly happy in my job, I have made some real progress and had some great successes along the way, but despite plenty of promises I'm still no better off than I was when I took this role on a year ago.
Recently the company has recruited two new employees to do the same job as me in different parts of the country, they are paying the new guys more than me and they get a much better deal in other areas too, it's the final straw and I'm going to leave as soon as I can (unless they start playing fair).
My plan is to see if I can get a job at the HQ of the parent company in Oxford (I worked there for about 4 years before I started this role), We'll sell our house and rent a place in Oxfordshire (probably Bicester) for a year or so. We should make enough money from the sale of our house to completely clear all of our debts, this will be a huge relief and improve our quality of life a great deal. It really is a big step, but I honestly believe it is the right thing to do for the long term future.
