    oh Uni, i could understand where your OH is coming from but he should be finding out if they're going to tackle the rats before he just walks. (just thought it's not a pest clearance job is it? lol)
    hope you get lots of fab orders and nappy gate doesn't happen.

    Its waste recycling LT, apparently its a real problem and a few people that worked there in the past ended up catching that disease that rats carry. So he phoned me at lunch and says he's not going back

    OH doing my head in, I can do nothing right. I'm expecting a row when I pick him up later.

    Yep, another row. Sorry not felt like posting. It was another row today and he called a while ago to apologise, I torn strips off him (verbally) over the phone.

    A few more hampers made and delivered (pics on my Facebook page), told OH I'm concentrating on hampers and cards tonight I'm not having another wasted night like last night.

    Big surprise at work they have got us all a Christmas pressie (we are allowed to choose from a list of gifts) and they are also giving us a membership card to some deal that gives you 50% off at about 5000 restaurants in the UK (valid for a year). So that is good news. OH moaning about his job status (or lack of) and yet turned down work which was 25 minutes away!

    Trying to lose some weight too as my weight is severly depressing me. I can't say no to sweets in work.


    Money VERY tight at the moment. Have quite a few things need paid between this week and next.

    Sorry I've been awol, just been so hectic. OH, well that's slightly better. He has an induction for a job tomorrow and a refresher course tomorrow. Was working all weekend and am absolutely shattered. Paid some money back into my bank account so its looking a bit healthier. Have had to spend £20 of it though re-stocking on some items.... which reminds me I've forgotten to order something! Arrgh!

    Cards and hampers going quite well. Made a nappy cake for delivery this morning and have 2 cards to make tonight.

    My overtime I won't get paid till the end of the month and will use that to pay back what I've used on my credit card at the start of the month and the MOT on the car. I must get back into the tarot. I logged on last week but it was so quiet, didn't do even one reading.

    Well this morning was a complete waste of time and wasted enough fuel to last me 3 days going to and from my own work. I was up at 5am to take OH to his induction for 6am. Dropped him off and I was nearly home when he called me to say would I come and get him. It turned out they can't do his induction till he gets his forklift license which he picks up later today! So by the time I picked him up and got back home I'd wasted so much fuel and was now late for my work!
    OH also decided to then tell me he'd paid extra to his credit cards (as he really hates debt) but hasn't left enough in his account to cover his direct debits! He wants to borrow money off me to cover the dd's. I'm fuming. He could have left paying the extra until he gets his first wage!
    SS is taking the proverbial now, made him his dinner last night chicken in a mushroom sauce and roast potatoes and he told me he wasn't hungry for 'slop'. I could have slapped him. I didn't bother making him anything else. He went out to work and OH and i saw he hadn't tidied his room or made his bed, dirty towels under the bed and dirty crockery. It was a mess.

    As for my debt journey it VERY slow at the moment. I feel like I'm struggling to tread water.
