So tomorrow I get the details of my redundancy offer. I then have the weekend to think about it and tell HP of my decision on Monday.

There were 3 initial decisions to take:

1/ Do I apply for it?
2/ If the money is right, do I take it?
3/ Do I look for a job in Europe (specifically Amsterdam)?

The answers were yes, yes and no. So I just need to know the figures for 2/ and the decision will already be made.

More news as it happens on that.

Last night, I got back from work and was meant to be spending the evening cooking a meal for Jam, Spoon and one of her sisters. What actually happened was, that due to being on call, I got call from work about an outage, started work at 6.30 and finished at 10.30 after they had gone - so that plan basically went out of the window. However, I did get the cooking done (but not much socialising) but basically directing what needed to be done. And I made(ish) the following:

Tudors Mediocre Cottage Pie

1/2 large onion (roughly chopped)
crushed garlic
500g Mince steak
1 large carrot (sliced and halved)
sweetcorn
peas
3 rashers unsmoked back bacon
tomato puree
oxo cube
some gravy

With potatoes, butter and cheese for the mash topping

Served with cauliflower and brocolli topped with cheese and breadcrumbs and then toasted for a bit.

Quite frankly it was awesome. Jam's sister had 2nds. It was followed up with fruit loaf and soya custard. Totally brilliant.

With regard to the comments on yesterdays entry - if I take the redundancy, then yes I will be doing some visiting as it will be a cool thing to do. A night in Leicester with Mark would be cool as I havent seen him for fucking ages (continually hampered by car trouble) and a night out in London with Jon would be hilarious! So once I've got things sorted - arrangements will be made. So both of you, let me know what days of the week would be best :)
