Dear H

I can see how frustrated you are having to live up in the hills. And not having much money is not fun, I know. As I have told you in previous emails, I am working on getting my working week sorted out with enough work to keep me going and lessen the burden on you. I appreciate your offer to carry on paying the mortgage till the end of the year, I really do. I just fear what would happen if I haven't got enough income to cover the household bills and D's and my expenses if I am paying half the mortgage after that. I promise you I am working on this issue, and would really appreciate it if you didn't keep the pressure on me all the time, it doesn't help me. I went for a job interview week before last, but it had too many problems - having to be away six or seven times a year (for a week at a time) for fairs around the world, needing a car etc. - to make it worth while. It didn't pay that much either, was more commission based.

So please have some faith in me and you may soon be surprised.

Did you get the book? I wrote down S-----'s phone numbers on the front page.

I'm glad camping was fun. I haven't been camping in ages, and was wondering if the tent is still in good condition? I think it may leak a little if it rains heavily.

What do you think? It doesn't address much of his rant, but I know H's main rant these days is about wanting to pay less. I was tempted to include a line about the sleeping arrangements being a matter for his conscience. I have said what I want to him on the matter, and I can't really police it, can I?

The other thing is, when I pressured him about it before, H said that if I asked nicely he would consider my request. Yet his email to me is full of commands - YOU WILL DO THIS and YOU WILL DO THAT!
