Babes it sounds like they had to do interviews to be seen to be going thru the right channels as they have to advertise positions, i think the other one had it from the start from the sounds of things.....so dont feel bad about it (easier said than done i know, especially with what you have been thru). Keep positive mate and i am sure something will turn up soon.

Aw Babes, that sucks!! On the plus side (I know it may not feel like there is one) chances are you did a good interview and if you were playing on a level playing field you probably would have got it!! Remember that in your next interview

Big, massive cyber hugs headed your way

Well to be honest I don't feel in a very good place at the moment. Everything looks so bleak if that makes sense! Money / job situation is no better. It doesn't help that both of us keep applying for jobs and never hear anything from them, not even a sorry but no thanks letter - its so disheartening. We have no money to get our own kids or Kieron & Emma anything from Santa and as much as I keep being told that they will have plenty from other people I know that we haven't got them anything!
And on top of that I have gained so much weight that I am back to what I was. I just can't stop comfort eating and I can't get out of that vicious circle.
Ive brought myself some of those 'kalms' today to try and calm me a bit. I am like a bull in a china shop! So much anger and rage and its not fair on my babies.

Hope you are all well.

Sweetie, I lknow there is nothing I can say to make you feel better. Just wanted you to know that we're all here and to give you big virtual hugs

Hang in there, Babes

oh mate, i wish there was something i could do to help, i really feel for you but that doesnt help does it. Big hugs from me too and if you ever wanna rant please ring me. xx

Hi Ladies

Thanks for the big hugs ... really helped!

Well the mood has slightly lifted. Not for any reason as there are no changes in our cir****tances but just because I HAVE to pull myself out of it or I will fall deeper & deeper! I really don't want that!

Had fun last night as its Antonia's 11th birthday tomorrow so we invited 3 of her friends round for tea! Oh to be 10 again! Full of energy and fun. I was exhausted when they left but I don't think Ive laughed so much for a while!

Hope you are all ok and Karen hope the packing is getting somewhere hun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR TOMORROW ANTONIA, dont they grow up quick.

Glad your feeling a wee bit better Julie, your totally right you know, if you let these things bring you down its such a struggle to get yourself back up again....so keep positive babe as something has to turn up soon i am sure.

PACKING.....argh!!!!!! driving me nuts, but getting there slowly and having a major clearout as i go as well, 18 bin bags just today...so yippeee i wont be filling the loft again at the end of the week.....you know the sort of stuff, when you say we will use it one day or we can do a car boot with that...yeah right!! never happens and we just keep moving it from house to house, so putting my foot down this time and its going.

Hiya Julie,

How are things today? I do worry when you're down as you're usually such a fighter.
Please stay strong and positive, thinking of you!

Hi Boobs

I'm ok ... Im still trying to pick myself up! Getting there I think.

Been to the job centre today to see if I can claim anything to help us financially and guess what ... NO WE CAN'T! typical. Nevermind eh .. we have survived for 5 months and Im sure we will survive for longer!

Hope everyone is ok!

well Ive bitten the bullet and had a cambridge pack this morning.
I weighed in at a whopping weight this morning and am completely back to my original weight.
I knew myself that I would be as my clothes are rather snug at the moment!

So lets see if I can remember how this works!

xx

Good for you babes, just take it in little steps and you will get there. I know i have to do something after christmas, been so stressed out and tired that i have lived on crap for weeks on end and my clothes are feeling snug now too, but i really dont have it in me to do this before christmas....considering joining up to WW, but will see how i feel nearer the time.

Good luck babes.

lol ... looks like we are all back here again in the new year then!

Finally a breakthrough ....

Sime has a nights job at the hotel where he works in the gym! He starts tomorrow. Its only 4 nights a week but it also means that he can keep his 2 shifts at the gym and can continue with his NVQ.

Im trying to get excited and feel positive but we have had so much crap thrown at us that I don't know how to feel ..
