Feeling Down.

[00111001]

Dude, I had the same thing.

Missus quit her job on the Wednesday as she didn't need to work. The gubernment screwed up my opportunity to get my contract extended, so on the Friday I was out of work. £1000 a month rent, then the bills etc. Had to move out of the house, back to the parents. Had been there 2 days when we found out that the wife was up the duff. Huge arguments with my family ('orrible f*ckers) and basically homeless. Had to sell my vehicle to use the money to 1) the my old man off my case 2) deposit for a shitty little flat in the worst area of Peterborough (Lincoln Road!)

Both signed on, wife got hers but I never got a penny - I refused to go and see them when they hadn't paid me, so they stopped paying! So we lived on £62 a fortnight with a pregnant missus who was eating everything in site (then chucking it back up - wasteful!).
If I didn't have the stored food I don't know how we would have coped. I was out of work for 5 months in total. Not good times, but we stuck together and still managed to have a giggle. Now I've got a good job half of my thinks I should be saving 50% of my wages, but I'm spending like crazy. Not on useless shit, but on tins etc. Rather buy it now (cause it's cheaper) and be skint than waste the money anyway and end up half way down shit creek just having dropped my paddle.

But I've got a family to look after now, so should I ever find myself in the same position I'll have to look into other methods of making money apart from work. Cause when this job is gone I don't see another one on the horizon
