Just Another Day

Well I guess today has been a mixed bag. The company I have worked for over the past 19 Years JCB has also been hit hard by the world wide credit crunch. You have probably seen it on the news. Today we had a number of office staff workers that have been told their jobs where under threat, also all contract personnel where told that they would be finishing.

As you can imagine it was not a nice time for anyone as we work with a relatively small team and you know all the people on a personal basis.

so how does this also become a good day, well i guess you are thinking to yourself that I am going to say i was not one of the unlucky ones that may be looking for work. I guess this is correct but not what I am referring to specifically.

Today my wife and I where in the fortunate position to walk into our local bank and say to the lady over the counter, "we would like to make a extra payment off our Mortgage" she replied " How much would you like to pay" we said "the full amount 45K". My wife made the cheque out and handed it over.

We are now a REAL home owner. This is what made today 21st November 2008 a very special day for us Both.

Nice!
