    Hi all
    I'm in again this week. Can't believe the difference it's making, even if I only manage level one....that and the dailies seem to make such a change.

    Feeling a bit uneasy today - it's OH's last day at work...he's setting up as a software consultant as of tomorrow and although we've been saving like mad for the past 18 months I'm still a bit uncomfortable with the idea of not knowing where the money's coming from.

    Yes, I know he'll be a fantastic success, but it's just a bit scary, plus I don't want to have to go out to work...it'll probably mean supermarket work if I do - not that I've anything against that but I've been there, done that, and worn the tee-shirt. My last role was a director level PA (six years ago :eek:), but I don't think they work evenings and weekends!

    Anyway, ask me next week and I'll probably feel fine!

    Hope everyone is OK? Haven't had time to catch up (never seem to, sorry, just very busy with two little ones), so sending huge hugs to everyone.

    Take care
    D

    Morning all

    Not a good day here, so far. DH was very grumpy last thing last night, I hardly slept as I hate bad atmospheres. He went off to work this morning, we've had a chat. All a complete nightmare as he seems to have decided he doesn't want kids. This is major as we'd always planned to try and start a family soon. I have no idea what to do or say, I just feel in a complete panic and feel really sick. He said I should just leave him if I do want them as he doesn't think he'll change his mind.

    I am supposed to be meeting my friend for coffee at 11am, need to shower and go soon, but I don't know whether to go or now.

    Sorry for the non flying post, I don't know who else to talk to.
