Fingers crossed with the Ireland job, any news at all?

That's really good news CMD, you sound a lot happier now that you've got a bit of a plan sorted!

You'll have to get Skype and have your choccy and tea together in front of a computer screen!

No word on it yet. I think the company are waiting to get funding and it is taking a while. From what I understand, there are no positions at the moment (although there were meant to be from July) but there will be in the near future. OH has heard a rumour about January and that is probably why he hasn't been contacted yet.

It's all hearsay though..... which is very frustrating.

I just read your post about you staying put in Cardiff. That's brill. That must be a weight from your mind.

We are ok thanks CMD although didn't have a great night with her...

I am sure you will miss him but like you say he will have more quality time with you all.

Yes, I do feel way happier and for once we are thinking with our financial heads rather than with our head in the clouds!

Yes, we will be on Skype a lot I think. I am still feeling optimistic and think OH will get a job before then

There must have been something in the air. Max was awake at 4.20am (wide awake) and I had to give him a bottle. He slept then until 7.15am so that was good but I think it might be his teeth.

It's all bit up in the air still, but I think that's what we're doing for the time being. Still would be good if I'd find a better paid job, but it's seems there are no jobs here. In Bristol there are just too many applying for them.

It sounds like there is a lot of competition in Bristol. Are there any OU or night courses you can do to add something extra to your CV?

I'll have to look into something like that to better my prospects for sure. If we decide to stay here for at least another year, that'll be easier too.

Is it Dublin you're looking to move to CMD? I'm starting to wonder if Dublin is a bit like London - almost a different country to the rest of the country iyswim. Limerick was shocking to see, absolutely on its knees. I thought we'd lost a lot of retailers/pubs over here but it was nothing to all the 'to rent' signs over there - there is at least a 50% town centre vacancy rate and some of the out of town centres are at about 80%. NIMs dad has made 6 figure losses in the company for the last 2 years but is able to hold out for an upturn although he's not optemistic about it being in the next 5 years. I just found it all really quite shocking, all the places NIM and I used to go to have closed down! Can completely understand your draw to go home, I'm aware this could come across as 'be wary of Irelands financial situation' but its not that at all, you know that better than anyone, I'm just curious if the recession has hit Dublin as hard as Limerick.
