    Hi SD

    How's tricks?:D
    Been working hard then? lol.;)

    Well, I was geared up for a hard day but loads of people didn't bother showing so had mainly a quiet day.
    Would you like to see a trick? I can make my pants do an impression of a tent without touching them! :rotfl::rotfl:
    How's your day been honey? :A
    All the time you're watching your back, you can never look forward...

    A very very bad person! :rolleyes: :D

    Have they really put your husbands start date back to March?! That really is crap. Is there any night jobs he can do just to tie things over? Shelf stacking at supermarkets get paid a fair whack for night shift.

    Di, just a thought here but whilst your hubby is out of work is it easier for you to perhaps find a job? I think you can work as well as claim carers can't you and although its not ideal it would perhaps help and you worked for the NHS and care homes are always crying out for workers. Your hubby would be at home for your son and only until he finds something.

    Your a mind reader Marshallka.......:T
    We were actually talking about this earlier, my sister works in the NHS offices and said she thinks they may be taking on some nursing staff on soon.......its a mental hospital.
    With Carers I am allowed to earn something like £93 a week, but I said to hubby he could take over and do this and for me to go back to work, okay he didn't like it but the way its going right now its the only way.;)

    SD, for the last year, its been like this with other jobs as well, going to interviews then being told there's some waiting first......and then this today.......it seems like we are jinxed, I know its happening to loads, but what a disappointment.......I tell you the atmosphere have not been good at home today........:eek::o.
    He will get there in the end, but we really can't afford to wait to be honest.
    I think its going to be have to be me going back for the time being, however, I would actually love to be working again, I loved my job, love my kids as well, Jamie being older now and I know Dan has needs but we can work round this.
    Thanks though SD.:AX

    Ahhhh, that's a shame hun. Try not to let this upset your family home too much. Easier said than done I know, but at the end of the day as long as you support and love each other, that's all that matters.
    Trust me, things do improve (been there, done it, worn the t shirt) and just think positively everyday. Remember, it can't rain everyday. ;)

    Thats great, get yourself down there then.;) It does not need two at home really so why should you not work? He will cope Di and it means a wage coming in which is better than not. :cool: You're a night owl too (me not!!) so always looking for night workers everywhere in nursing homes. I did it myself but as i say, I am no night owl.
