This won't mean much to any of you I guess but I've such a bonk-on about it I have to tell someone.
I left my last job as it was shit and was making me ill (depression and stuff) and I have spent the last 18 months getting better and looking for a new job. Things were tough as we've got a fucking stupid mortgage and we had to take on a lodger to help us pay it. He's a nice bloke but we would have rather had the house to ourselves. My wife has been a sainted angel throughout all this. She's used her salary to pay for everything denying herself lots of stuff just to make sure the bills are paid and we have got food to eat. Unfortunately our lodger has decided to move out as he wants to go elsewhere in the country to further his career so although we get our house back we're down on the deal and it's been doubtful how long we can survive.
I got a call today to say that I've been offered a job that I interviewed for last week. It's back doing what I used to love doing before the shit job ruined it all for me and the money's not bad either. Plus it's just 'round the corner from where my wife works so she can give me a lift in the mornings :-)
I've just been to town to spunk some of my savings on some nice prezzies for my wife and I'm going to try to keep it a secret until Christmas Day to tell her I've got a job.
This also means I should be able to afford to go to the live shows in the new year! Yay! :-)
