gonzo~Why would your wife blame you for having a job?
I think you do an amazing jobs all things considered.
Have to say I think your wife is very lucky you took on her debt in your name.
Remind me how old your little uns are?
Keep plodding:D

Gonzo - I agree with Beanie completely.

Just had an email back from Business Link, they're going to ring me, eek. It's probably not a viable idea but I thought I'd look into it anyway.

elfen

Need to order other uni books soon

beanielou

Nothing ventured Ames & all that.

Off to the horror of Tesco's.

i dont think she blaims me for doing a job,

i think she blaims me for taking a job which has made us financially worse off although the annual wage is higher the tax credit drop and the massive amount more petrol out weight it, and the fact i took it just so i could get out of a job i really had got to the point of hating due to one thing and another seems to be a problem sometimes as 'it might have been better to stick it out and wait for something closer to home'

another rant warning for the following

however main one that made me hate working there is i was told all along that a new role was being created 2 bands above what i was on and that if i do my qualifactions 'unoffically of course' that job would be mine.

so applied to for funding to do my course and the day before the registration the director decides to tell me that she has no more money in the training budget, however i still need to do the qualifaction if i want to get the job and that she will hold of the creation of the role untill i had finished, so i went home spoke to my wife and agreed we would fund the qualifation out of our own pocket (£75 a month we didnt really have however 'it would be worth it in the end')

anyways do it pass it and the post gets created so i apply and then get told they cant offer me an interview because i dont have the relivent experence and so they offered it to a person they had been seconding for the passed 2 years whos 'original' job had been put at risk, so now this person has taken the job i get informed that my job role has to be re-specified to take into account the new position and guess what my new role gets all of the most boring tasks that the rest of the team no longer want to do and all the things i had been doing (damned well if i must add myself) for over a year get taken away from me and given to the person who took the job

rant over

thank you for saying the wife's lucky i think she is as well :rotfl:

and my little one is ocming up 2 in July, also have a step daughter who's 13 and a step son who's 17

Afternoon everyone.

Pretty good day for me today, although I only have £57 in my bank account until Monday. Thats the lowest its ever been since I opened the account and has got me a little panicky even though I know we dont really need anything.

In other news, reading my visa statement today and it states

• Purchase Interest at 34.080% per year
• Cash Interest at 41.200% per year

Made me realise why I always pay it off in full every month and never overspend on it. Good bit of discipline are the scary interest rates.

Ouch, I'm trying to work out if I'd be better off working and getting tax credits than staying on disability benefits and doing voluntary work, it's making my head hurt.

afternoon everyone, stopping off just to get breath back, double helping of housework (eugh, shudder) so Ive earned a break and a cuppa. Looking at everest ironing and dirty pots, hope new flat is great, elfen, bunny hope you get the hugs and cuddles soon, gonzo, you are some great guy, hope the new job comes good, and if Ive left anyone out, sorry, I'm not good with names but wish all a great evening.xx
