survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.

Haven't really planned that far ahead yet. I'll be staying by Sydney Harbour and Auckland Harbour. Wanted to get the flights booked so I didn't talk myself out of it! 😆
Might look to see if I can do a Super rugby game maybe take a day trip to other cities as well. Will have 4 nights in each country.

Don't forget to get whatever visa you need for Oz sorted in plenty of time. I left it too late when I went to NZ in 2019, and had to rebook to avoid Oz completely.

15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?

we've outsourced a lot of the roles so we are down to just having Team Managers and Team Seniors for those departments involved. Already worked out what a redundancy payout for me will be - between £6k and £11k depending on how they view 2017 as I was made redundant from 1 role but given a new employee number for the role I started doing 3 days before the R-day.
If you’re tired of takeoffs, you’re tired of life.

It reminds me of "If one is tired of Mozart, one is dying ".
49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
The joys of travel. Train from Edinburgh to Leeds is cancelled so having another night in Edinburgh and heading back in the morning!
Tbf Edinburgh isn't a bad city to be stuck in.
A week off work done which resulted in 6 day trips , 50 miles walked and only 2500 photos, Going to work is more of a holiday as I tended to be out of my flat an hour earlies in my week off and back for after 8pm
according to some people, you only need 1 day in each of the Yorkshire Dales, North Wales and Lake District "to have seen it all". Which is why its minibus tour number 3 this year of the Yorkshire Dales for me on 16th October. Different routes and different things to see each tour.

Would definitely recommend the Snaizeholme red squirrel trail near Hawes.

May need to do that next year as a bigger exploration of the area
Apologies for any issues today, I was planning on updating the site but sadly something went wrong so the upgrade has been postponed. Apologies again for any inconvenience caused.
I've done 2 minibus tours with Mountain Goat this week. Monday was North York Moors with over 600 photos and today High Adventure in the Lakes with 750. photos. Slightly snap happy.
