    Yes it certainly would make my life easier, wouldn't do a lot for my marriage but its all about weighing it up the pro's and con's - LOL

    I meant an assembly line in general - adding the husband is optional, but depending on the day, possibly prefereable - and you can always take him away from it when required. ;)

    How is the holiday going Reddie? Sounds like you are doing a lot - you need to have a rest before you go back to work or are you going back to work for a rest :rotfl: Recharge those batteries and hide the cheque book :)

    LOL I thought you just meant for him, you can see where my head is - ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Taking him away - right now couldn't possibly think of any reason to do that;)

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    LOL the holiday is over next Wed and already I am thinking about taking the rest of the week

    This is the worst time of the month and I am STRESSED, which defeats the purpose of being off from my incredibly stressful job. Chatting to my boss today (who is also my friend) and she was telling me I haven't relaxed at all!

    I am exhausted!

    Moneywise - no disasters yet. Chqs sent to relevant banks and now just waiting!

    I dont feel like I have had a holiday at all and haven't done half of what I wanted to do and I go back to work on Wed

    I need to gather myself - I think I am so stressed because of the money. Next week will be fine, I get paid and start all over again - oh the joy!

    You are far too hard on yourself. Instead of thinking of all the stuffthat you haven't done while you're off, just read the last few pages on here and look at all the stuff YOU HAVE DONE!! :T I am in awe of you.

    I am supposed to be working from home today - I have just turned the computer on and instead of work I'm on here!!;)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

    Yes that's the way to look at it as you've achieved loads.Dealing with debt alone is very stressful and tiring let alone all the other stuff.

    Thank you hun, I feel like Mohamad trying to climb over the mountain and I just manage a few hills!:mad:

    I like playing the 'working from home game too' ;)

    DH has just rung and asked that I drive to Belfast (30 miles away) to pick up boxes that he needs for tomorrow. God, I wish we had enough money to be slightly ahead of ourselves stock wise. But like the preverbial prince............someday that will come :p
