Thanks mwc guess we'll find out in the morning whether or not we are right, we are guessing it will be a quick shut up shop but who knows they might keep the stores open, i doubt it though:(

Thinking of you x

Ah, thanks guys, they were supposed to be being spoken to this morning before 11 so i'm just waiting to hear off him. Last time he got made redundant it took 9 months for him to get another job, and that was before the economic meltdown, guess it's tighten our belts time...again:)

Hope everyone else in MSE world is doing ok this morning, have to say the weather here is perfect for my mood, it's dull, drizzly and cold...oh well, perfect for puddle jumping with little one i guess:)

Hi guys,

Well hubbies shop shut on 24th March and things have changed a little round here, i have signed a new contract for full time position at a different store and hubby is going to start a part time job this week so it's role reversal time...

ecoelle

Right, money front is looking ok at the moment. Interest got paid on the fixed ISA and had statements through from the stocks and shares ISA's and they've done better than i thought so that's good. Happy at the moment that we'll be ok even if we are not rolling in it:)

Cod fillets / Vege burger, peas and chips

Vege chilli, Rice and salad

I'm sorry to read about your OHs job ecoelle, although glad he has secured part time and that you have a new full time position (will your OH take over the fly lady mantle;))

Ha Ha, yes we are rather sexist aren't we, he'd have to a be a flygentleman:) He has had a bit of training in the swish and swipe front, i don't mind him not doing the big cleaning stuff as he's fab with our little one and does lots around the house, so as long as he wipes things down and keeps the place tidy, maybe runs the hoover round occasionally i'll do the rest. Hopefully we should be ok moneywise and if it means he gets more time with little one i don't mind if we have to forgo any little luxuries:)

Thanks guys x
