Wife has booked a holiday in May that we have no money for......i paid £500 off the credit card before xmas and we paid another £500 a bit before that.......well she spent £500 on people she knows at her 1 day a week college course at xmas :evil: !!!!.......
She is on maternity leave and could go back in April, but says if she does they may not honour the holiday she has booked......so she wants to go back later.......thing is her maternity pay runs out in March...........she also needs to give 8 weeks notice to return to work for April but wants to go back later...............
Well i'm between work at the moment, just starting as an NHS volunteer to help get work in the near future....also a small private support firm (i volunteer with) will be offering me some shifts when they take over a new business.
So for me the future could be bright....ie wife could work part time, me part or full time..........BUT if she doesn't face facts about the next few months we will have no rent money at all, with or without a holiday ( which she would prob have to put on her credit card)
Every time i mention being careful with money or the gap in the maternity pay she just gets defensive and angry...........i've always paid my rent and utility bills on time,but it's like she's decided they don't exist, she never looks in the bank any more and just takes till it's gone......she never used to be like that..........
Maybe i'm panicing but i'm afraid that she is going to keep ignoring this and we are going to be in serious trouble.
I've seen 1st hand how easy it is to become homless.........i'm having a bad day :cry:
