This is an 'instead of' job. Although I like the flexibility of portfolio working it is tiring. The two jobs I have at the moment look at the same issues but from completely different perspectives and I have to ask myself every morning 'which head do I have on today?'. This will be so much easier b/c I won't have to think about that. However, having had those two jobs is what has enabled me to get this one as I will need to draw upon both experiences in order to carry out my new role. I'm VERY excited.
I was a bit nervous about telling my current line managers about my new job especially the one where I work from home. As it turned out they were both really pleased for me so that was good. In the job where I work from home they have been talking some time about getting me a new laptop as the one they provided me with originally was v. old and 'died' sometime ago. It was a little ironic that the convo started with this person telling me that my new laptop should be here next week. Thankfully it transpired that he hadn't actually placed the order yet so when i told him about my new job he said he either wouldn't place the order or he might go ahead as whoever they get as my replacement will need one anyway. They have been so good to me (unlike my office job) that I did feel a little guilty that I was leaving them BUT I am doing this for me and D13 so that is the most important thing.
As for the D. I haven't heard anything from H since I signed the papers to contest the D (as he was told I would if he didn't accept my offer). Usually when there is any correspondence to be had it comes on a Saturday morning so I probably have that to look forward to this weekend. I think I have become very detached from the emotions that these letters stir up now though so whatever happens I will be fine. Probably very broke but fine

How's d liking uni? I guess she has just done freshers week,so that should have been fun or a blur
As far as I can tell she is loving it thank you. She is full of cold but she tells me this is 'fresher's flu.' She is longing for her own room (which should happen this weekend) as although she likes her room mate she is craving her own space. The bedroom they share is smaller than the one she has to herself at home and I think they are both finding it a bit of a strain. I've spoken to her lots on the phone (usually b/c she has phoned me) but she popped in to see my mum last weekend as she had gone to see her BF and he lives near my parents. I asked my mum if she looked as happy as she was telling me and my mum said she did so that was a big help.
