Today

[Space_turnip]

Been informed of a possible job opportunity today. Would be double my current salary, 4 days a week, and working nights (which would suit me perfectly). A rare glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak few weeks job wise in my house.

Got in from work late to tonight but as I walked to the door I just noticed Jupiter and Venus very bright in the next sky and just stared at them for a bit. Love science me!

It's a fantastic sight; my city's fairly low down, so you can them walking down most any street, especially towards my flat from the city centre

Nice one mate, hope it works out.


Today two of the lasses on my College course had a blow-up, was a really great atmosphere in class after that.

Go for it, fingers crossed for you mate.

I woke up this morning, and it was the first day ever (that I can remember) where I've actually lived by myself. No more family/other half/girlfriend/friends etc any more, just me in there with the 2 cats.
Now I just need to clear out all her junk, and get used to the idea that my kids have also gone with her
Looking forward to the time and space of being on my own though, if only for a short while.

That's quite the price to pay for all that new feeedom and space, hope things work out for you and you still see your kids often.

thank you. it is indeed a big price to pay, and one i'm still coming to terms with. it does change the dynamic of the relationship with them, but unfortunately i can't do much about that
however, i do have a regular arrangement with them, and can see them whenever i want to pretty much. i have them from thursday night > sunday one week, then thursday night > saturday morning the next. which i'm quite thankful for, because it's a lot more than some parents seem to manage to sort out, based on what others have told me!

Today I'm going the bookies to place some bets, and I can't wait. Come on my horses!!!

Not today, but last night. Had a small Mario Kart 64 competition at my local monthly retro gaming event, which I won.

I got this "prize"



A minor victory, but it was good fun.

Although my situation is not quite at that stage yet I can understand the emotions that lead upto it. Its almost got to the stage where our children are the only reason we are together.

To be honest to see them each week is far better than any of my friends in that situation, usually its for the weekend every other week.

I sincerely hope the relationship with your kids works out well, even with the reduced time I have witnessed it can be great although under different circumstances. Every cloud has a silver lining and if the pressure of the relationship was effecting the whole family, a change that may appear for the worse might not be the case.

Take it easy.

thank you, and i hope that your situation works out for the best as well. one thing i said i would never do is stay together for the sake of the children. they know when something isn't right, and i just don't think it's a pretence i could keep up. then my wife found somebody else anyway, and rather tell me she was unhappy, allowing us to do anything about it, she decided to move in with him instead. so i didn't have to worry about that so much. it irks me that i have to be "nice" to her because it's a good arrangement at the minute, but not fully legal (yet). working on that bit at the moment! in the meantime, i can't believe how much stuff she has got that i'm putting into bin bags for her (aren't i nice...). there's no way she's worn even half of this wardrobe. most of it has labels on it!

cheers again, and all the best.

Today (well yesterday) on this corse.
Same old shit, team building exercise (getting us to make paper air planes? I don't do office work), filling out forms, endless being talked at.
I think I forgot things I was told.

Well it was nice to see the same people on it. Its like seeing people I don't want to see all over again

Wait I did remember one thing.
The door code

How come you hate office work so much ? You know most of us who have office jobs also hate them, but its a job ! You cant be that choosey can you ?

Today is my eldest daughter's 15th Birthday

Where are all the years going!!!!! My youngest is 3 in two weeks

My eldest boy (lots of you know him) is 18 in 4 weeks


One thing I do like though is I am only 41 and I look around the school and half the parents are older than me (and they have only jut started with a family)
