Finally home, after travelling 19 of the last 30 hours (!) but it is official, I have the job, funding complete, I start April 12th! Big sigh of relief!!! Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes, I’m just elated! A special thanks to The Girl for all her tips about locations.

And first on the list apart from time with ma famille after the move? Visiting Harewood House, (photo above) a hop skip and a jump from where my mum was born.

Now I have 9 full days before I move, I have a feeling every day is going to be a bit like Must Get Things Done Mondays!

And finally, I’m soooo excited so many of you are joining in with plan sparkle!!! I’ll get a post up tomorrow and hopefully post updates at least two-three times a week for accountability! Do leave your results in the comments for some encouragement!

Off to eat some chocolate before it all comes to an end….. ;)

    Yay! Oh that’s fab news! Good for you! I hope the new job works out OK – it’ll be nice to have some money coming in at the very least won’t it?!
    Good luck with moving to your new location – which part of England is it? – the North?

    Woo hoo! Well done FT, looking forward to hearing how it all goes. So pleased for you :)
    And here it’s April 1, so onwards and upwards with Plan Sparkle!
    Drink more water
    Walk daily
    Chocolate 1 small per week (although I may have to rethink that over Easter!)
    Cheers
    Judy

    Go you!

    Now, if you start to get discouraged or overwhelmed about moving, just remember how much you’ve already gone to get here and that moving is (one hopes!) the last hurdle!

    My father loved little ditties and rhymes, and he used to say, “Home again, home again, jiggity jigg,” when we turned into our driveway after a trip. So your title brought back a happy memory of my dad, and a chuckle when I scrolled down and saw it juxtaposed with the picture of Harewood House. Our home was a tad more humble!
    My own Plan Sparkle is to get exercise (30 min. of walking or an hour of gardening) six days a week. I need the tune-up after a long winter indoors. Also to decrease my chocolate consumption, which should be easier since I am now buying expensive organic, slave-free chocolate. I have just learned of the child slavery connection to chocolate and need to change my ways!

  28. Mitty says:

    Forgot to say that I’m so glad your job is a go! I wish you the very best!
