I am sure it will work out, you sound like a strong confidant lass to me

Sunny Windsor, is grey Windsor today, but not cold, looking out across river where someone is feeding the swans with about 8 loafs of bread, she will be there ages, until a group of swans and ducks that are making their way to her now, get there, it looks like a ship fleet invasion

I posted a reply yesterday and it has gone!

Well this is it... I have just signed the paperwork and am now just waiting for my pizza then it's off down the pub

Over the next few months I may be posting less as I only go to this site at home when hubby is not around!!!

System was playing up for a while, so quite a few posts went walk about.

Your a free lass now, hope it all works out for you

maybe not on line as much, i cant have that, you get your ass back here girl

well take care and i will see ya around, hopefully soon

Have been for an interview for a temp job today and now have the rest of the day to myself. Hubby has gone to work and I am glad to see the back of him to be honest!

Things are in turmoil here again! This is a time of my life when a little support wouldn't go amiss, after all I have been doing my best to keep his spirits up over the last month. Instead he has been undermining me. He drank 12 cans last night, called me a liar , got upset when I told him how much unfounded accusations like that hurt me , sneaked out of the house at some point after 9pm then refused to answer his phone and didn't come home until 2am... I am a worrier and he knows this so it was all deliberate as he knew I would wait up for him... I am so annoyed that I let him do it. As a result I was tired and p'd off when I got up today so I tried to avoid any conflict this morning ... it all went pear shaped though and I ended up sitting in the car crying for 10 minutes and only just made it to the interview on time. Fingers crossed that I didn't mess things up as a result of being literally tired and emotional!!!

Phew, I feel better for getting that out and can feel the anger fading a little. He is now starting to but this is becoming a patern where he unsettles me even more at my most unsettling times then says like that will make it all ok. He has so many emotional issues and I don't have the energy to deal with them along with my own stuff. I can feel myself shutting him out to protect myself... I feel so lonely, think I might give my old counsellor a call... going to cry for a bit now, maybe that will make me feel better!

Now the site wont let me post... aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh!

Half an hour has passed, tears have dried up and I do feel so much better.. now, if I can just post this message!
Nope!

Its him thats needs to seek some sort of help not you.

I hope that you are feeling better now and a little happier

Hows the job front going

Things have settled down with Hubby and he is actually being quite supportive now. It's just what I need as well as I have had no at all on the job front...

I didn't get the admin job I was interviewed for last week which was a shame as it would have tided me over. On the permanent side I have applied for loads but been turned down for varying reasons, the most galling of which is 'You're over qualified, we're looking for someone more junior' . I am still officially on holiday though and holding out for a decent rate of pay. If I have not found a job by the end of this week will lower my required salary for a temp job just to get out there working!

Hubby broke a record last week and went a full 4 days... more accurately 114 hours... without a single or . I have been keeping a record since June, he has managed 3 days without once and two days without several times and it's always a row that leads to abstinance. He managed to squeeze in around 38 units over the last 3 days to compensate but that is a little better than the 50 unit a week average over the last 4 months!

How are things with you? Any more swan and duck mobbings?

Have you stopped talking to me ?!

I have a job as a contractor on an IT helpdesk ... I am now a 'technical consultant' which is such a laugh when I couldn't even work out the smilies on this site by myself!!!!

Oooops, i didnt even see your last post

excellent news about your job and what an boffin title you have

Is it full time.

How have you been, all good i hope, hows things with hubby.

Havent been up to much this end, boys are on school holidays so we have here and there doing things, nothing too exciting.

The dog ran into me the other day and broke my little toe but , it hurt like hell and i looked down to see the little toe pointing the wrong way.

The wife clicked it back into place

Helloooo!

Just finishing off my lunch - this is full time and as a contractor I only get paid for the hours I work with no benefits but the job could go permanent somewhere down the line.

Have been seeing a bit less of Hubby due to our combined working hours and due to his shifts he is drinking a lot less - yay! I think life is always a bit easier when you are not in each others pockets and the time we are spending together is of a much better quality.

Hope your toe is OK - I once ended up looking like a clingon when I it my forehead against a mirror frame after tripping over my rabbit!!!

But its a start and i keeps you getting bored at home

You will find you have much more to talk about with each other, which leads to good quality time together

Mirror frame and a rabbit your not called Alice are you

I am so much happier with a job and cash coming in... although I would prefer to have enough money to not have to work ever... I can dream! I had an interview for another job yesterday which is half a mile from home, permanent and sounds much better than what I am currently doing. I am really hopeful!

I think it better to spend time apart from your partner, there's no way I could be one of these people who works with their spouse , I'd go insane! Or maybe I'd go sane, working on the principle that in an insane world the sane person is insane!

The rabbit wasn't white and never did learn to tell the time . He was a very highly strung pedigree dutch rabbit and I was trying to chase him back into his cage and fell down the stairs !!!

I live next door to Alice!!! I am a Jan.

So what's with the name change?

Is it a better job than your last one?

heres hoping for the other job then

With me working from home, the wife is always here, but we never get under each other feet, as my work place is down the bottom of the garden among the and .....thats supposed to be a fairy.

The name change is a hootoo thing around halloween, some posters anagram their name

Oooops that thing was meant to be.....

I have a second interview for the other job after work today . It sounds better than any job I have had so far. A small company at the start of expansion ... it all sounds really exciting

I have decided I hate it here and will not be staying long even if I don't get the other job! Working from home would be good but I can't find anyone willijng to pay me to do that!!!

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!! I finish here on Friday and start the new job on Monday that was quick!

Excellent news, well done

One day, 4 hours and 33 mins left in this awful job then I have a 4 day break before starting my new one ... can't wait to get out of here!

Best of luck with the new one, lets hope that this is the answer

Hi, hope things are great with you. My new job is going really well , I think I have landed on my feet.

All good here, it was my birfday on sunday, 42

I am really pleased for you about the job, is hubby happy as well and how are things going there
