Hello potters!
Just thought I would pop on while I have a few spare minutes and apologise for not posting for a while
Well, the husband is now officially unemployed :mad: and things have been horrendous. He is unable to work at all and spent the last 6 weeks of his job on sickness. Not the best news, it is looking very likely that he is going to have a knee replacement, at the tender age of 40!
So, I have had to return to full time employment and am not going to lie, I am finding it very hard and tiring.
I hardly see the kids and am pretty miserable at the mo
I am still potting but money is pretty tight.
I hope you all are having better luck than us
Take care
Emily xx
