Feeling Crappy
Had a call from a close mate from work who I thought was joining another department, but has decided to take his redundancy.
Place will not feel the same without him. :(
I have always said I would also take any money offered from work, but this is knowing I'd get a hell of a lot more then most people.
The question is, what do I do afterwards? Done the same job for over 9 years now! Not that they'd ever offer myself redundancy, but hey ho.
Any job I get next, the easy option is either NEXUS or GNER, there's no way I'd be on the same wage I'm on now, I'd lose a few grand straight away on their starting wages.
I'm under pressure to move out, been about 3 years since I moved back in with my parents and I want my own place. A mortgage is out of the question as I can only afford £50K, and what the fuck can you get for that in this climate? Exactly. Nowt.
So, I'm resigned to renting a place, and I'm scanning online for places on a regular basis, but get this, my Mam though supportive is wanting me to quit my current job and is convinced I can do better.
We went through a budget and she tells me I could not afford to live on £1085 a month, which is what I'm getting at the moment from work.
My NUFC footie season ticket and a £61.50 travel pass and a £30 mobile bill are my current outgoings, thats if I buy no DVDs on a regular basis.
This leaves me with £238 and some pence per week to use for RENT and BILLS.
I have no concept of buying food and bills on a budget, so I think this is either my Mam's way of getting me to ditch my job, she's convinced I'm a computer expert and could walk into some high paid IT industry job, no Mam, it's just that your very thick when it comes to PC's and I fix very very easy problems that YOU have on a regular basis.
