Uni's going to try and change her life for the better.....

How is everyone? I had typed all this out then lost it.

Was at first consultancy appointment this morning, so cv is updated and got some good info. Cost £5 just for parking! Was tempted to eat out but made OH and I jacket potato, beans and cheese when we got home.

I should get my redundancy next week, I need to find somewhere to invest it to help maximumise it. OH called a few agencies so at least that's something, there's a few jobs come in for him but they're too far travelling to be feasible so hopefully thats a sign that he won't have long to wait.

Trying to make things go a bit further and use things up. Have applied for a few freebies today, stuff I'll use.

Going through all the job adverts and I really need to clear out my email (not got much space left). OH and I thinking about going to see Avengers tomorrow, is it any good?

A girl at work went and she said it was good.

nice to see you still in a positive mind set Uni. still keeping my fingers crossed that you both get jobs soon. Glad the parking money was well spent especially if your revised cv gets you a job.

Thanks Lucielle, LT. OH and I went to see Avengers, nice to get out. OH out at the moment and just had the second complete temper tantrum from SS, I've texted OH. I've had enough. Mustered up enough strength to confront SS and told him his behaviour (punching furniture etc) is not normal and extremely frightening and there's no need for it.

I'd had a nice day as well (up until that), OH got a day's work so dropped him off and went to see my Gran and took her to the local market. I bought one of my friends a pink feather duster, have texted her to tell her but I don't think she's taken it in the spirit its meant (she has not long bought her first house and is quite girly). I got some citronella candles for the garden (40p) and have done some Vivatic surveys.

I hope this means SS bags are on the door step. !!!!!! SURELY this time you are going to kick him out? You have the right to feel SAFE IN YOUR OWN HOME. He has no right to make you feel scared. PLEASE don't put up with this parasite a second longer.

SS has gone out while we've been out (went out to my Mum's early), he called from a friend's phone (SS doesnt have a phone at the moment) and said he was staying out, OH has told him to stay away for the moment.

Very unwell, have caught some sort of bug. Tucked up in bed (that's rare for me) trying to recuperate

Lemon_Tree

hope you feel better soon and don't forget to stay as long as you need to in bed, it's a great healer. Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't all the hassle work and family have shoved on you of late coming back to hit you.

Hope you are feeling a bit better today Unix. Stay in bed and rest for as long as you can, you'll recover faster...honest!! Wouldn't be surprised that all the stuff with SS has helped to bring you down. I agree with Chev...pack his bags and hand them to him when he comes back....you certainly don't deserve the hassle and disruption, never mind fear that he has caused/created.

Been back home now for a week, after all that glorious Scottish weather, it's odd to back to the cold and damp! Saying that, today was quite warm, if rather soggy. I was at the Malvern Spring Garden Show today, so shattered tonight...had a good time though!

Need to make the most of the next couple of days, I don't get a break until next Friday, then working the Saturday and out at Quilts UK on the Sunday (again @ Malvern)...must try not to spend anything (or very little), as money is pretty tight atm, with lots going out and much less coming in. (DS1 uni stuff mainly - accommodation for this year and next, as well as exam fees, plus a lap-top for DS2, as his has died (v old one from DH's work), so we knew we had to get him one before he heads for uni in September, just not now, but needed for course work.)

Oh well, I'll raid the freezer and sort out a menu plan for the next couple of weeks. That will cut down our spending on food. I will just have to admire the quilts and not buy anything next week. Think I'll need to leave my purse at home, well my CCs at least!!

Take care of yourself xx

Today is my first day up out my bed, although I didn't make it to volunteer job today as had to go back to hospital. OH took me and then had to deal with my car failing which means MORE expense we could do without. Took it to the local garage and ruled out all the usual stuff so we took the chance to change one of the sensors and thats not fixed it so its now booked into the dealership in town , and it gets worse as we're mega busy till then including me having a job interview on Monday (good news I know but could have done without the car going wrong).

So we're home now, I'm curled up on the sofa and feel awful. OH is in bed (he's about a day behind me with symptoms). I just need to wait for hospital getting back to me now for my follow up appointment. The pair of us have barely eaten as we've not felt like it and I've realised this morning that there is a few things in the fridge (beef, pork and fresh prepared pineapple) that are more than a few days out of date so will need to chuck them. Feel guilty as its more wasted money but just not felt up to doing anything at all.
