    BB he has GCSE's in Maths, English etc
    I think he needs to make a sideways step....I really do.

    I can't see him ever getting a job otherwise

    it's definitely about side stepping and then re-building again. It's something I've been trying to help my ex come to terms with.

    OK, he doesn't need the lit/num courses then........just seeing if there are any others he can get free. Odd time of year to start so we don't have much. July is the best time when the new brochure comes out.

    Sally, moaning is good, a problem shared and all that. Have you suggested voluntering to him? I know generally its female's that volunter but even if its just him painting in the comunity? Or maybe you can get him to go down your allotment and do some manual labour.Tthat way he feels he is contributing to his family (ie helping to grow food) and then you can have a few hours with Bea :D



    Claire, what do you use now (linky)? Because if you can afford it get a mrsite. Thats what I used when I sold my cards. Its so simple to do and manage, also you can link it to paypal. After researching apparently its easy to transfer to another provider/site too... Worth a look I think I payed £14.99 for the whole year.


    I use shop creator at the moment and have my domain name linked to it https://www.charmingtrinkets.co.uk

  • @ anyone I have as a neighbour on Farmville - I am so sorry. I only just realised how to accept gifts on there. :o I thought everyone was ignoring me so I never sent anyone anything normally. Thank you so much for all the stuff you sent, I'm just going through it all. :)
