(and before anyone says anything!! it's all paid for)
adam's sis is getting married in lincolnshire, so we're getting picked up fri tea time, travelling down there, she's getting married on sat afternoon- all drinks paid for (free bar) and then we all (all guests) have a minibus to take us back to our hotels etc...adam's dad has paid for a cottage for us for the 3 nights
then sunday we'll be travelling back...looking forward to getting away for a few days, and to see some new family...
won't be back on til next week though...
hope you're all ok x

Arrh hun hope you have a fab time sounds like you will. Unfortunatly i am working lates friday and sat if i wasnt would have been going to brean for a few days with family lol . But hay ho lol.

You sound like you have a great family that treats you anyway. Hopefully this break will clear both of your heads so you both come back and start a fresh and get motivated.

Char

thanks char. yes without our family we wouldn't have any of this niceness...very grateful for everything we get

aww bless you, i would come and do your shift for you, so you could go away...if it wasn't for the fact you lived so far away lol

i'm sure you'll have lotsa lovely breaks to look forward to in the future though

yeah as soon as we get back (and until we go tbh) it's just job search all the way...
gonna ask my dad to drop me and adam off next saturday at metro, he can watch benji, then me and adam can go handout cvs to the places that need us lol
hoping for a job for either me or adam (or both) asap.
don't wanna be seen as a bum, just because i'm a SAHM- i find that job the hardest of all!

hope you have a nice weekend hun xx

Enjoy your holiday. Nobody thinks you are a bum for being a SAHM btw

just how i pick things up then lise...xxx thanks xxx

You could always go back to college, you will get it for free and study for a year to give you some qualifications or the skills and knowledge of a job u would like to do.

Whilst Adam is working you could do it 2 days a week.

Char

Dont get mad Lou but its not YOU they think is a bum. Its Adam. SAHMs are very respected on this forum bird! I go to work for a friggin rest

Anyway lets not turn this thread into a rehash, i agree with char on the college. Night school or something would be perfect

Being a SAHM doesn't make you lazy Hun, there's alot of us here!
Have a lovely time away!

Oooo where abouts in Lincolnshire? I live in Lincolnshire!!

Hope you have a lovely weekend xx

Totally agree. I'm a SAHM by choice. I gave up my job to go back to college and do volunteering work which I LOVE !!! Luckily Karl earns a decent wage and we can just about manage. I will be going back to work when I've finished my Diploma and hopefully to a better paid job

Have a lovely time away.

i don't have a clue what i want to do, i love photography, but nearest college for that is newcastle, so too much bus fayre.
the nearest college for me, is consett...which is still too much bus fayre.
i would love to be a photographer, but for the time being thats not gonna happen...maybe when benji goes to nursery

adam's a total bum, and would love if he could stay off work forever, but he can't...so he WILL get a job. xx

^ you will get travel back from the college if you live too far away, you will also get money towards childcare/lots of colleges have nurseries so you can drop off/pick up before and after classes.

nevermind what adam does or doesn't want to do, you sort yourself and benji out and i can guarantee he will just follow. if marriage was about waiting for the other person we wouldn't get anywhere!!!

Mari is right. You will be able to get help towards the cost of your course and travel. You must think positive otherwise nothing will ever change. Depression tends to make everything look cloudy and grey. Nothing is going to end up in your lap, you've got to make things happen for yourself

Hope you have a lovely weekend x

dont know how to go about any of this...im looking at consett college, but its crap lol hmmm...
thanks hoping for a nice weekend away x

how do you know its crap? take benji out for the day on the buses and visit some colleges or walk to them, or even better arrange to meet a careers advisor at your favourite, it will be fine to take benji along!

Lou, when you say it's crap, how do you mean? What is the Ofstead grade?
