I am so excited!

I am so happy today! 14 months ago my OH went away to work on contract to help us make a dent in our debts and it has been tough being 250 miles apart and only having weekends but knowing about the bigger picture we have been grinning and bearing it. Well he has had his contract extended and is now able to work from home so....this pm I'm off to go and help him move back home.

Life can go back to normal and calm down, no more trains or being appart, it is just excellent! :j Having him back means that we are now just running one house so it is a bit like having a payrise:T
Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:

    Thank you all so much for your comments. I was really tempted to answer the where can we send OH's to for 14 months with prison! OH works in oil and gas industry so has been working offshore, Houston and Singapore.

    He is home! I don't think it'll hit me as being strange until Tuesday as at the moment it feels like a long weekend.
    Thanks for the advice Martin! :money:
