Hi Beth thanks for the support love and yes I have been catching up on you wicked women (but i love it)...
Yoyo thanks for that and I am glad you take my advice the right way after all that's all we can do is give advice, compare circumstances and support each other, ultimately we take what we need on board and what feels right at the time and act on it, so nobody's advice is wrong but sometimes maybe not suited to a particular sitch but hey if it's not thrown out there for discussion it would be rather boring.
TMU - Hi there, thanks for dropping by, I will drop over and check out your sitch real soon. I have only just got back to the boards after a 3 week X-mas break, I am glad my sitch helps you a little, after all that's what we are all sharing this horrible sitch's for...goodluck catch you soon.
Tim, thankyou as well for taking the time to stop by. I appreciate you sharing that bit of info with me as it will help to give me patience and take yours and V.J's advice, the more you hear something the more you value it's worth. I will drop by and check out your sitch soon as it sounds like you may be further along than I am so that could be really helpful to me.
Update..... H came over last night and he was feeling rather down no don't worry it was because of work. Anyhow we were discussing a sitch that happened at his work that day with something his boss nearly accused him of and the kids kept interupting which I could see was starting to annoy him so I said, look I will take you out for tea and a drink so we can chat in peace, it might do you some good to lift your spirits. He agreed so I went and bought Charcoal Chicken, Chips and Salad Packs for the kids and then H and I went to the local Football Club for tea.
It was really good because on Tuesday Nights they have a 2nd Meal Deal (this is where you pay for the most expensive meal and receive the second one free). That was fantastic as it only cost me $20 for 2 meals.
Whilst we were waiting for dinner as it was going to be about 30 minutes we decided to go into the "Gaming Room" and play the Pokies (Slots for some of you) for a bit. We both agreed to spend $20 each. Well H started to win straight away and I was down to about $5 but then I started winning too. By the time we stopped we both had $100 each which was an $80 profit each.
We then went in for dinner. We chatted over dinner about his job and H asked me how he should handle things and I told him a few ideas but said let me check it out through the proper channels tomorrow before you go to work so as you are prepared if they call you in. He was rather relieved at that and so we finished our dinner on a higher note. We then left the Club and went and hired a D.V.D, it was called "Mind Hunters" I think and it was quite good. H then went home after the D.V.D finished and he'd had a coffee.
He called into work today as he had taken our S to have his glasses fixed (fight with sister). I had got him all the info he needed and told him what to do if his boss called him in. He said he really appreciated it and I told him if there were any further drama's to either tell his boss he would get back to him tomorrow or ring me from his boss's office, whichever seemed necessary.
I think this helped him alot as he seemed in a much happier mood. So far boss hasn't called him in so we will see as he is on afternoon shift.
So that is about it....I normally stay out of H's affairs if I can help it and only offer small suggestion's but this time he was asking for it and when I suggested anything it was just a suggestion with him deciding if he wanted me to follow up on things. This way it was sort of him still in control b/c he used to say I never let him do anything and that he relied on me too much, so I tried to be very careful in making sure he didn't think I was trying to take over.
Oh well that is all I have to report today, will fill you in tomorrow after I have spoken to him tonight.....Kim
