Yet Another Update!!

Been really crap at blogging lately.

Lots has happened - can't be arsed to write an essay so I will bullet point all the key stuff...

Nick and his brother are still living at the house.

Kids and I unable to be at the house because of Nick's behaviour.

No room at Mum's for me so I'm currently spending 3 nights a week at Karen's and 4 nights a week at Keith's. I am so grateful I have people in my life who are there for me and my children.

My name is down on the local authority housing list but I can't bid for a place until my name is no longer on the deeds of the house. Apparently not having anywhere to live doesn't mean I am really homeless...! Go figure!

I'll be going to Court on 4 Dec to go through finances. I'm hopeful the divorce will be rubber stamped and finalised then but I doubt it- given the track record of this process.

Mum has been ill again and has been in Kings College Hospital for yet another operation. She's home now but that didn't do my stress levels any favours!

The steep learning curve at work has gotten even steeper as I have now started my NVQ4... its equivalent to the first year of a degree (yikes!) and is a humungous pain in the arse and source of stress as I am finding it hard to fit in the space and time to do any study, given the nature of my life at the moment.

Oh yes - and to cap it all - I was off work for two weeks with sinusitis in October. I was really ill. I came into work at the end of the first week and was sent home by my director who actually told me I looked ill and shouldn't be in the building. Guess what - they docked my pay £600!! Apparently its in the contract - not that I have a contract yet. I am SO fucked off about this - at NO time when my director asked me to leave the building and be sick elsewhere did he say to me that I would not be paid if I went. It is an appalling way to treat salaried staff. I have never worked for any company that treats its staff so badly. Losing £600 was all that I needed right now.

Anyhow - I will bash out another update after the court hearing.

Hopefully there will be some good news!
