    Hi Abba, we went on tue night to the Odeon to see it, should have cost £49!! Have 2 meercat movie accounts so it cost £24.50 instead. It only cost £1.24 for a single trip travel ins policy which gives us the 2 for 1 tickets for a year. Only tue/wed but we went as a treat after the geography exam, enjoyed it but my bum was a bit numb by the end lol xx

    He had a blast and won two prizes so he had a great night and we managed to work the avon run around him :T so that was a bonus

    Hubby has started looking for jobs, there was a awkward moment at work where his business partner threw a hissy fit over something he overheard but only heard half a conversation but went in a strop for the whole day and didn't help out so hubby says that's the final straw so we are updating his cv tonight and sending it out to different places xx

    It's a bit of a relief then means I don't need to carry the household finance wise on my own shoulders.........is this bad to think like this????

    I've said to hubby if he gets the job we will continue to live off my wages and his wages will be put towards the debts ;) and to give him an incentive to keep at this I'm dangling his dream car in front of him which we would save up for and buy ;) so he seems keen :rotfl: so fingers crossed something comes up for him xx

    Right off to get ready for playgroup xx

    It's not bad to think that way at all. Just think how you will be able to smash those debts if you can continue to live off your wage alone. Hope he finds something soon x

    Agree with Jwil not bad at all. I hope he finds something quickly!

    What will he do with the garage?

    What's his dream car? My dream car went out the window when 3 kids came along :rotfl:
