    thats for sure LMC, probably doesnt help much that i am feeling sorry for myself as on top of everything seeming to go wrong i just feel as if my wife blaims me for us not having enough money

    just re-read this and realised i need to put a rant warning up

    all kicked off since i had to take a 'promotion' last year (due to personal issues with my then management) which has actually made us worse off financially - £3k a year payrise but due to drop in tax credits and a massive increase in petrol (gone from working only 6 miles away to 30 miles) we have a lot less money each month for everything.

    ok she hasnt come out and said it but the amount of times when we have our discussions about money that i have 'seen' the thought flash through her head about the fact i should have just stuck at my old job and made do with the fact i hated the job and certain people i worked with had screwed me over that many times i actually dreaded getting up in the morning and going into the office

    i am just getting worried that its going to get to a point where she catches me on a bad day and i end up saying something about her actually getting a job herself in a less than diplomatic way

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    As she hasn't actually said anything are you making an unfair assumption? You need to tell her you feel like this or its will definitely boil over at the wrong moment and in the wrong way...

  • Dear God! If anyone ever thought to market the adhesive qualities of bird cack, they'd make a fortune! It's shifting, slowly but surely. Might take a few days at this rate though. *rolls eyes* Plus the car's going to need washing properly all over once I'm done. It could do with T-Cutting and waxing as well. That might have to wait until Mon though as the weather's due to get worse from here on in until the weekend's over. :mad:

    Yep I think you need to bring it out in the open - tell her you're worried that she resents you taking this other job. I would hope that she'd rather you were happier at work, but please, ask her.
