    Thanks Bookie. I know eventually something will turn up but, as you know yourself, until it does it all just looks so bleak:(

    I'm kind of a victim of my own success - if I hadn't specialised in tax and had done more audit/accounts prep there are plenty of jobs available. And in good times it wouldn't be so hard to change direction but at the moment here's a lot of experienced financial/management accountants either unemployed or looking to move so I'm not getting a look in even though I know (In many cases) I could do the job blindfolded with no hands (arrogant, cocky - moi? Oh yes:p)

    My old boss thought she had pigeon holed herself by working for large (and I mean large!) corporations. She hadn't done much accounts prep work either, but she set up on her own and has done really well.. I would be quite happy to chat to you about it...

    Sally, I think you're doing the right thing - him having the car for now will ensure that he at least gets to the job and can start to sort himself out. This stage was always going to be the hardest but it does get better....hang on in there.

    Luc and Cat - Every stage is like that with kids - it doesn't get any easier either....when I watch boys stop and stare at my DD's I want to go hit them and scream "they're my babies, you can't stand there looking and having those sort of thoughts about them!!!!! "

    Gonzo - thanks for that I'm now wandering around the town in google maps....:D Hadn't realised they'd done everywhere now.

    You can get pretty close to our flat. Not that you'd want to today - its a midden

    Anything without chocolate? Not in the mood for chocolate - I prefer savoury things...
