Other What's ruining your life right now?

If it makes you feel any better, I grew up with hearing loss myself, and know a couple of other people with various degrees of it, and we all turned out okay in the end ( even if we tend to be a bit weird). Ultimately it's just something you learn to deal with, and getting thrown in the deep end is probably the quickest way to do that.

You should check what SEN support the school offers. Getting stuck in classes not being able to hear what the teacher is talking about is another situation you want to avoid, and maybe having someone you know can check up on him generally could help put your mind at rest. EDIT: Maybe less applicable to nursery, but something to look out for in future.

Music may not have been to everyones tastes, but i listened to his music alot back in the day

 

So seems marriage is over, agreed she can buy me out (after much heated discussion that be building a kitchen from scratch does add value to a house) getting a decent share that leaves her in the house and I can set up nicely, but the kicker, she started that rolling so mid Jan I'll probably have a chunk of money and legally have to leave the house.

2 houses I was interested were already under offer and in progress and I have only just been able to see 1 house today and that is now under offer.
Houses are selling fast!

But she says she's not kicking me out, and she wants to be friends, well you didn't give me time to have a good look or give me some time to handle all this.

Still love the girl, but she is showing a mean side

 

Surprised you didn't send it back straight after this.

 

My order of a premium sleeping bag from a dodgy Chinese website arrived today!



Tossers.

Oh well, I should've known better as it was about a fifth of the price it should've been. Annoying, but not an amount I can be bothered to try and recover my from the depths of the Far East. Hopefully they aren't contaminated with coronAIDS but if you don't hear from me after a fortnight, well, it's been great and keep on trucking.

 

Thick eBay buyers...

"Oh this isn't quite right... Hmmmm... should I initiate a free return to retrieve my much needed money? possibly contact the seller for a resolution of sorts?"

"Na... let's just leave some negative feedback!"



N.... O..... _ W...O...R... K........... S

Perfect.

 

Job hunting: Got my first reply "Sorry, you've been unsuccessful" urgh.

Sam

 

At least they responded, Sam. Most don't bother.

Good hunting!

 

Dude, it sucks out there at the moment. Employers have a huge choice, so you'll probably have to swallow a lower than expected wage (I did). On the other hand, my old team leader ended up in a much better job, so there's hope!

Keep on plugging away...

 

Yeah it's a small mercy but a response is better than left floating in limbo.

I mean that's not going to make it that much better.

Good luck with the hunt though, hang in there.

As always the forum is open 24/7 for ranting.

 

As of Monday 11 January 2021 I will be furloughed for up the a month or more. It's kind of financially a burden but not too much and I still have a job I guess.

 

We were sent home on Thursday and furloughed from Jan 2nd. We've been pretty lucky and received full pay while furloughed last year. I believe it's now 80% salary from now on though.

The missus works in care, so she's been going to work as normal for the past year, and has been tested at least once a week for the past since months. I think it's three times a week now.

Sprog1 has just informed me he is coming home early to self isolate, because someone he works with has tested positive and his workplace is closing to allow all staff to get tests and isolate. On his birthday too.

I suppose he'll get to spend time with his birthday present - I upgraded his PC and bought him a bottle. Every cloud and an all that...

 

Surely you don't still need to feed him from a bottle...

 

No, he's quite capable of holding it himself

 

Thanks all. Got my 2nd "Sorry, you're unsuccessful" this morning. I'll keep sending applications out. I'm ok with money and bill's till mid Feb, but then things will get very interesting.

I am remaining positive though.

What ? Like : needed : Scooper/walker ... to keep the doge company ?

 

I'm quiet open to ideas. I've just spent the last 16 years working in food retail. I think currently my biggest stumbling blocks are, lack of any other experience, and no driving license.
