Career: Seems alright. I might be getting shifted around either between companies or between contracts soon as the role I fill in my company for this specific client is being taken on by the client. I figure this means I have choices on where I go, which I'm grateful for. I'd prefer carrying on as normal (and that might happen yet), but regardless of what happens I can rest assured that I will remain paid what I am currently paid and that's good enough for me. My colleagues and I get along great and my bosses all appreciate me so it's all good there.
Love life: Nothing wrong with this.

Danielle and I have settled properly now, I think, and maybe I'll have to start thinking about a ring by the end of the year... we'll see. Danielle has got herself a career job recently so our financial almost-problems have turned into something much better, and I think we'll be in a very good position in about four month's time to really think about the future in a very sensible way. If not earlier!
