  • That all sounds really positive Justine, and it's great that your DH is on board with it too, good luck!
  • HE GOT THE JOB!!!! :j:j:j

    After 8 months and 500+ applications, I can't quite believe it!
    We won't be falling off the wagon, though, as we now have to pay off all the debt we've accumulated over that time...

    OMG, what a relief :D:D:D

    Thank you :o

    He starts a week on Monday. We still plan to try AirBNB as the salary is not as high as he'd hoped for so the extra income will be welcome, but still it's a job and we're very very happy!
    We hope to finish getting the room ready this weekend and should be able to list it just in time for the school holidays :)

    Nice to see a happy ending!


    It just goes to show you that a job can turn things around very quickly, but although the agony might not seen like it is worth it, I hope some good comes out of this for you, justjustine, as you proved that you can use your initiative to survive and come up with some very good ideas, rather than being a headless chicken which so many of us become!
