And the saga continues! :)

Bill got a call from another Pak'n Save owner yesterday asking to see him urgently before he signed the other contract.

So he rushed off to see him after work last night, curious about the details. He was offered a store managers position for one of the 5 biggest Pak 'n Save stores in the country!! He offered Bill $5,000 more again than the job he had just set up along with a company car. But it came with no bonuses and a preassigned company car (not one of our choice). It also meant he would have to commute 1hr each way daily (unless we sold our new house and relocated) But we both felt that $5,000 more wasn't worth that.

So he turned it down. It is such a political decision too. With wanting to own our own store eventually we don't want to get in the bad books of the wrong person, especially if that person has a lot of sway within the company. But overall we both feel we have done the right thing. Pretty overwhelming tho!!

I went off to the craft show this morning with 4kids and a pushchair in tow. Stressful! lol But I survived!

Mum said to me the other day "wow look at you ... all slim!" Huge compliment coming from her! Don't get them too often :)

Off to a BBQ at my sisters tonight, hopefully it won't be too high in points.

Managed to save 4 points yesterday (to make up for my alcoholic splurges at the start of the week)

So far I'm back on track for the week (points wise)
