Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

If work is really grim then quit.
Life is too short.
You have enough other stress to deal with.

Thanks both. It probably isn't worth it for £20, particularly when you factor in diesel costs and the fact that I often do a top up shop after work which I probably wouldn't do otherwise. On the other hand, I feel I should be able to put up with it for just 3 hours per week .

Not always Lucky, when your OH is having an episode (for want of a better word) it takes it out of you as much as him, you are trying to stay upbeat for your sons (and OH) and then to go to work and have MORE "stuff" thrown at you is just an overload. If you really can do without the money then maybe you need to think about your health instead.

You have to look after yourself as to be honest no one else will.

I echo what everyone else says, and there will be another door that opens ....

Thanks everyone. I'm still not sure what to do and it's sitting uneasy. I'm feeling quite down and constantly tired, so not sure if I'm able to think clearly about it right now.

Lost another 2.5lbs this week despite it being a birthday week. Really proud of that, and the fact that that makes 13lbs in 4 weeks.

For my own information- DH has been really clumsy and dropping things a lot this week. Need to keep an eye on that.

Gained another NSD :T.

Sad to hear Robin's news that CD has crossed Rainbow Bridge . RIP lovely girl. Xx

Sorry things ae hard. Just wanted to say things always seem worse when you're tired etc - thinking your job gives you £20 but also a break from the norm. Could the situation at work be improved?

please-let-me-be-lucky

It could if we had more staff Doobop. As a company we are recruiting, but as a store we are over staffed apparently. They must all be off sick though or on other departments, because we are down to the bare bones . I wonder if my leaving would actually help them get another member of staff who could do more hours??

You are right it gives me a break from my caring role and that's why I've kept going as long (aside from the money). It also makes me super tired though. Swings and roundabouts Xx

Is there anything else you could do work wise? It might sound a daft idea but I've seen adults doing paper rounds where I live. You could take the dog.

Talking of dogs, I was gutted to hear about CD So very sad, I shed a few tears, even though I didn't know her in RL. My heart goes out to Robin, she's going to miss her so much.

Not an easy decision. Perhaps a conversation with your manager might be fruitful - if you're thinking of leaving anyway, you have nothing to lose, and if they're so short on your section they won't want you to go - may make them have a good think about improving things. But, you know what's right for you and if it's not worth it, leave.
