  • Great to hear the job is going well :) And good that OH is back at work too. Hopefully that'll give him a distraction/something to focus on and day to day things will be a bit easier :)

    Have a good Monday! :D

    Snowed in today, tried for over an hour to get the car out and it just wasn't happening. So unfortunately no work, no pay. So heating is on low, and finally thawed out after getting chilled to the bone trying to get my car out.

    Yes Lucielle, I do tarot for a phone line. I've done it for a couple of years. The money isn't brilliant but I can pick it up and put it down. Its not my day job so to speak. I know some people don't approve of these things but it has helped between jobs.


    Its still bloomin' cold here. OH is now out of work again :(, the company called him (he's a temp) and said there wasn't enough work to keep him on. So he's job hunting. I'm hoping they keep me on where I am as I actually like the work and the people!!!!

    On the money side trying to put a bit aside when I can, but difficult when OH isn't working as he covers some of the bills normally. How is everyone? Sorry I haven't been about much.

    Well OH is seriously doing my head in now, he now knows how I've felt the last 3 times out of work! He won't stop whinging and I have to do everything! i.e. sort out his cv, application forms etc. Why he can't take the initiative I'll never know. I've had to pay his bills as well as mine so money is a little tight. Told him I'm not buying him cigarettes, he can either have tobacco or quit. My job is going well, I really hope they extend me as I'm enjoying it and the wages are ok.

    Found out that someone I know is expecting (she's mid-20s) and she's done it deliberately to trap her boyfriend. In recent pics of them together he does not look happy. They are in no state to carry this off, she's already given up her job and he's left paying their debts and he's not earning much. They are sharing a room in a house share and cannot afford to move out.
