Anyway 3weeks ago i had a call for 2 siblings we was about to go on holiday so we arranged to meet tonight my brother was looking after the house and pets while we was away we gor back Mon and the house was trashedsmashed tiles onthe floor pets not fed right tools broken kids toys broken!!! chunks out of the granit work tops kitchen draws broken all the spirits out the garage gone.....(xmas drink) garage door wide open oh the list goes on and on

So i start the week cleaning and trying to put things right and im getting even more worriedas im a real worrier....

Anyway .... Mum and siblings arrive tonight at 6.30 and they are brilliant so nice and perfect for what i after and what they are looking for i couldnt be happier to be honest its not ful time but im glad about that mum is so nice felt very relaxed and not worried like i normall do mum signed contracts and i start monday

Thanks sarah felt a little silly for putting a thread liek this but i was(AM) so happy i could scream..
My hubby just lost his job so this has really come at a great time...

Thanks

[sarah707]

It's not silly - it's great news!

We all share the bad times - it's grand when someone comes and says ' hey, it's going well just now!'

I hope husband finds something soon. That must be tough.


Good luck! :D

Thanks Sarah, yes it is very hard he isnt bringin in a penny he hasnt gotoffhis but to go job center to see about job seekers or even dare i say the dole...
He has worked every day of his life since he was 16yrs old it has hit him hard but its hitting me harder....
I never had to pay for the bills water council tax leccy gas etc i got the food i am on 90£ a week and now im paying for the lot with childmaint child ben tax credits and child tax that may sound alot but it doesnt go far at all
i have a son and he has 3 children that we have every weekend and holiday they are great kids anfd i love to bits but they are so used to getting everything they want when they want it its killing me.....
I sold my cockatiel just to buy enough food for this weekend thats how hard it is at the min its not just the normal everyday bills its the extras too car insurance house insurance sky and phone bill even the british gas home care payments its all comin from me and i dont have enough to do anything.
I hope he gets something soon but i also want him to be happy in his job he works so hard its been so nice having him home with us to do the odd jobs around the house but we need to pay the bills haha...

Now im goin on the sob story when i am happy about gettin ghtis new contract its took the presure of him for a while at least..

Thanks for listening to me at this hour.
