Hi Missymoo

Why you thinking of quitting your job? :eek: ...you don't have to answer that if you don't want to, dont mean to pry...

missymoo81

chris you'll wish you hadn't asked.

I work a 9 hour day and have to travel over an hour to and from work every day so I am out of the house for nearly 12 hours a day, my OH works away for 5 weeks and is only home for 3. So when he is home I dont get home until 6.15 ish then need to be in bed by 10 to get up at 05.30. I have to be away from home for 4months every two years. I also do a week of duty where i more or less live at work for a week every 6 months. I then also have a call out phone which I get for 24 hour call out for a week once every 6 weeks which means I can't have any alcohol and be ready to leave for work at the drop of a hat. I don't get paid very well at all, I don't particularly like my job, if I stay in it they will only move me in a couple of years to a different base somewhere else in the uk, when my home is here.

So to be honest I just dont want to do it anymore, i dont have to work full time any more as OH earns enough money for me not to (I appreciate I am really lucky to be able to do this) (and as long as I sell my car in a couple of weeks I will be able to pay my debts off if I work really hard at saving and debtbusting in the next couple of months.) I am currently doing my job and studying for a degree in english literature and language so that i can be a special needs primary school teacher , which will take another 3 years and will only get harder. So to put it simply i want to leave to spend more time with my newly married husband and to concentrate on my chosen career and have a family.

see, you wish you hadn't asked now, sorry

aww thanks chopsy, they are really nice if I do say so myself, am slowly getting the hang of this bread making stuff.

My day at work was a little better not great though, but thanks for asking KP.

Well in my quest to fight the debt, I will be cutting washing my car instead of getting it valeted ready to sell, and I have been car sharing all week which has definitely saved me some money and I haven't been shopping at all this week, hence the bread making.

Once the car is sold I will work out a plan of attack and let you know.

Thank for your reply Missymoo.

Some tough choices but starting a new career may bring improvements in both money terms and also self satisfaction and quality of life.

We relocated two and a half years ago back to be back by my family and friends and despite a few erm, "financial mishaps" we are glad we did so.

Sorry your day seems such a grind. I used to have to get up at 6.15am and not get home until 6.45pm, did that for seven years before relocating.
