Thankyou RH and TVS.

RH A redundancy is when a company is downsizing and getting rid of staff. They usually offer a sum of money to employees who choose to leave the firm. Its not a huge amount of money but it helps for a while until (hopefully) another offer comes along. Its a tough thing to do in this economy, but I would really like to see him leave the job. It was a great job until 2 years ago, but it is really screwing with him these days. It won't be the answer to everything, but it would go a long way to help. We have never lived a "normal" life with our kids growing up with him working weekends and nights. We have spent a lot of time without him. I just wanted him to know that he has my support if that's what he wants.

Hope you guys enjoy your weekends too..you guys both amaze me with your resilience. Its a tough time and I think you both have it harder than me, so I do appreciate your kindness in the face of all your going through.
