Eager Elephant's Effective Everyday Excursion ...

Arrgghhh :eek::mad:

I am so fed up

DH's truck has not been right since we paid nearly £600 to have it fixed (plus cost of second hand fuel pump), it still has problems starting but we just bear with it.

Then today I have gone to go out in it,driven up the road and heard a bang. Checked underneath and everything seems ok, it changes gear fine but does not have much power and the noise it makes is just not right. So I have come home.

As you might remember the diagnostic does not work so we are stuck really.

Have just rung our usual garage (not the one we used for the above repair) to talk about it and he thinks we should take it back to the garage who fixed it to see what they say but also mentioned that there might be a wiring problem hence the problem with the diagnostic - if it is not wiring then it will be the engine control unit which costs more than the truck is worth :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I am just so fed up with everything - I have to juggle everything and try to keep 2 houses running and I can't do it anymore.

I begged DH to let us go home and for relative to find somewhere else and originally he said no but now he says yes if we can get a Newfoundland :eek:. I told him he would be sorry if I had a breakdown from the stress.

We need oil for heating at the house we are in and that will be £400+ I need to find.

I just want to go home and live with out any stress - is that too much to ask????:(

Thanks Ladies.

I had a good cry and then felt better :rotfl:

But now I am not worrying about the truck as DH has narked me again (surprise surprise :rotfl:)

You might remember that DH left his last job due to issues around over staff being incompetent but nothing being done as he was related to a director.
After seeing a solicitor (hence the bill and now CCJ) we did not take things further.

Out of the blue a few weeks ago DH was contacted by an old work colleague to say a new employee had been 'let go' after her 3month probationary period and wondered if she could speak to him. DH agreed and was in email contact with this lady (I had seen the emails).

DH had mentioned meeting up with her to chat over coffee etc but no date/time had been agreed.

Last Friday I was at work and got a call from Relative at 3.15pm to say DH was not home (he only works morning on Fri & Mon so collects DD off the bus to save childcare fees) and what was happening with DD. I asked Relative to get her and I would ring DH.

I rung DH and he went mad about why had he not been called by relative instead and when I asked why he was late he said that he had got caught up at work but was about to catch the bus home (I needed the car for a home visit so instead of me catching the bus home he had to)

When I got home later I asked DH where he had been and asked whether he had met this woman (not sure why I thought of it) and he said no he had cancelled meeting her due to work. I asked him why he had not told me the meeting was planned - he couldn't really give an answer. (I had not seen the emails but obviously women's intuition). I thought it was a bit iffy still but left it.

Today up pops an email in our joint Outlook from this woman thanking DH for meeting her last week and talking about the complaints she has put in :eek::eek:

So I am guessing he did meet her on Friday which is why he was late but why could he not have just told me that - why did he have to lie?
I am sure he did not meet her on any other day as he does not have time with work and surely when I queried meeting her he would have said that he already has :eek::mad::eek::mad::mad:

Maybe I am over reacting but I think I am not - I am fed up with the lies and everything.

I was fine with him meeting this woman (although I think he should be over his old employers and move on with his life - no wonder he has depression!) but obviously would have been annoyed that he was late collecting our daughter (what if relative was not there??) but now it is more lies.


AARRGGHH

I have told him that I don't care about the truck and I am certainly not paying to have it fixed - he asked why, I said just because.

He knows I am in a mood but has not asked me what's up - I think he knows why and is too scared of an argument.
The email was sent while he was driving home which is why it landed in Outlook as I had it open and he could not open it before me.
When he got home he was in my car for ages - i assume reading the email and responding.
