    Thanks Lucielle.


    Was at hospital this morning for my wrist, ultrasound. It was all clear, now I know that should be good news but it means I'm back at square one.


    Off to check bank balance, job apps and tarot.

    Know what you mean about your hospital results Unix...leaves you wondering: "Now what!!!"

    Well done on the weight loss :T:T I'm still trying to start losing weight again...LOADS to lose (about 10 stone ideally :eek::eek:!!), seems such a hard hill to climb. One day I'll get my head sorted to get going again. :o:o

    Good luck with the job-hunt. xx

    The good news? I have not one but TWO interviews! :j One tomorrow and one on friday. I also had a call about a third interview which has still to be set up.


    The bad news OH has done nothing but moan. He dropped his (very expensive) camera the other day as he was carrying too much stuff. No one elses fault, just his. He finished work early and I picked him up to take it to the repair place the manufacturers told him to take it to as the place he bought it from has gone into administration. He moaned when my mobile went when I was driving (after the repair pleace he wanted to go back to the same camera shop) that my phone went and he had to answer it (I was driving, it was one of my interviews). I pulled over and he walked up to the camera shop (can't get near it by car) whilst I called the company back. When he came back I'd called another company that had emailed me about the other interview so I was really excited..... what happened? He was fizzing.... why? He decided to go back to the camera shop to ask them for compensation as if they weren't in administration his camera would just have been replaced there and then. He went into a complete strop saying he hopes they all lose their jobs! How horrible is that? Bear in mind I got made redundant (this is my second time), and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. He sat and fizzed all the way out of town, his mouth is sore (yet he won't take anything for it or try anything I suggested like salt water), we got near the burger place and he says he wanted a burger and it was my shout (he forgot to sort out his bank card and he doesn't have one at the moment), he decides just as I'm turning off he doesn't want a burger. Back on to the motorway, he announces he's pee'd off, sorry but why has he got ANY right to be pee'd off? I'm the one without a job.... he has a job. Yet he's acting like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders. Where is he now we're home? Gone for a sleep, he's apparently fed up being tired all the time..... he's tired because he's sat up watching tv half the night the last 2 nights and then getting up at 6am for work. I'm tired because when he does come up to bed at 2am he wakes me.


    ..............Sorry had to rant... better go rescue dinner from the oven.

    He's now ranting about an event he has on whilst I'm away. I would normally do them and he's making me feel guilty I won't be there and my friend who normally does them is having a meltdown at the moment has politely refused as she keeps having 'moments' (panic attacks, she was being bullied at work)

    You're just going to have to face it. He's not a very nice person, and he has ended up with the children he deserves.

    You, on the other hand, have not.

    Thanks Z, I know you are right. He never talks to his DD (my SD) now, thankfully but I know he's wanting me to return from the holiday with my Mum early to solve the event problem. I'm not doing it, this is my holiday with my Mum and I do need the time away. He's asked a few people, 2 have shifts on the date in question and one is recovering from an op. He's asked me to contact my friend again and I've said no, she thought about it and then said no it wasn't a knee jerk reaction, she's not well and I told him if I push her and she says yes (so as not to offend me), what if she takes a panic attack on the night and doesn't show up?

    I agrees with ZTD. He isn't nice, or supportive. Do you want to live this way for the rest of your life?
    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    No I don't Chev, and I told him this morning he has to stop all this or its over permanently. I don't need all this 'woe is me' carp when he really doesn't have anything to moan about. He's fine for a few days then he starts again. So what if he's not speaking to his DD (that's over a year now), he was advised by his own sister to get her out of his life as she caused utter carnage and still does to those in her life. He was miserable all the time when she was about, but now he has a job (he could never hold one down when she was about due to her behaviour), his health is better and the only debt he has is manageable (due to his camera stuff and his DD wanting a tv from the catalogue.... don't ask..... then refusing to pay for it after 2 payments and wanting what money she had paid back yet supposedly the tv had been broken and thrown out..... that translates as she sold it for drink/drugs...... I was very glad when he saw sense and told her where to go), it's me that pays the bills (my choice as its my house and it's staying that way), it's me that isn't working and eating through my redundancy to pay stuff and I still have debt from medical stuff.


    Anyway, I have an interview today and I refuse to get upset. I'm sat in livingroom catching up with emails and stuff. My hair is still wet, letting it dry naturally as much as I can as its starting to look quite dry. Interview is this afternoon but will leave in plenty of time to find a parking space (its in the city).

    On a brighter note I counted up the contents of my piggy bank (Blackpool shopping fund :D), £95.96. When I first started putting money into it about last October it was any loose change I had then I changed that to £2 coins (piggy bank tokens I call them). Well chuffed.

    Interview went well, they want me to write up how my skils match what they're looking for. I'm knackered.
