I'm really glad to hear things are settling down emotionally - and that the future is looking hopeful. Not that I thought Bazza wouldn't land another job with all his experience, but still, it's good to see things moving in the right direction. And isn't it wonderful to have supportive parents.
So happy you've worked things out... money is absolutely horrible to talk about some times. A lot of people actually avoid it.
Glad to see Mr. D getting into the cleaning while searching for work. Perhaps if there's one too many at the table, you can confidently bring them to the bathroom for them to eat *snickers*
It is a horrible thing to talk about, and we'e neer had to do it before because neither of us have ever been out of work but in a funny kind of way, it's also been a really good exercise in focussing on our spending and making a few economies that we really should have done ages ago!
Honestly, I think our bathroom is so clean, you COULD eat your dinner off its floor!
I know it's quite hard. My mom had a serious relationship with a guy that started before she bought the house, so he came with her and contributed to the mortgage. When he left, my mom was having to pay the whole thing, and it was a VERY bumpy ride before she started to figure how being on one income was like (you know I've talked about some of the unwise decisions money wise though).
I am so happy he's no longer working at a place that was hurting him. You're probably frightened but you aren't letting the situation control you. If you ever need someone to listen, I hope you remember where to find me.
Genuinely excited about deep cleaning the kitchen. Bwahahaha! But I do get where he's coming from. I was the same when I got made redundant; suddenly I had all this extra time to do all those things I never had time to do. It genuinely was exciting! :D
Oh, and I think that 'better cultural fit' often means 'plays golf with the HR manager'... :|
I am currently sitting ammidst the chaos of our 'being deep-cleaned' kitchen. How on earth have we managed to acccumulate so much junk which is currently spread out all over the living room floor??? *sigh*
And yes, I thinnk you're probably right about the cultural fit thing. Makes you sick, doesn't it.
I'm relieved for you and Mr D. I hope something shows up on the job front, but like you say, enjoy the benefits of your very own house-husband while you can xx
