Last week I was sent on an interview for a job which turned out to be a £20k cut from my previous salary (I know I will probably have to take a cut but we can't afford that much). And thanks to their incompetence, I had to give a presentation that I...

And now need to throw myself into job hunting. I'm not looking forward to that at all.

We're currently cruising the Straits of Magellen - it's breathtaking scenery but bitterly cold. I had to log in to get my Hitched fix though - although it's a satellite connection...slow and expensive. Hopefully we'll see penguins tomorrow!

I'm in a bit of a state of shock I think. I left a job where I had been with the company (including the sister company) for over 20 years to start a new job in January. Now 11 months later I am out of work. The timing is awful as we are going on...

One of the Alitalia unions is on strike today (yes, that will help an airline that has only enough money to operate flights for the next 24 hours grrrrr). H has been in Italy all week and is due to fly back today - he's not flying Alitalia but a lots...

2 Club class tickets on BA anywhere in the world. ? When I told H, I asked him where he fancied and he said Barcelona.....not quite what I was expecting ?

How do you stop worrying about something that you know is irrational? H has gone to Italy today for 6 days. Some busines but mainly pleasure - to see some friends he hasn't seen for ages. I usually go with him but I'm short of holiday time in ths...

Remember my post about H releasing goods after the bank confirmed payment had been recieved only for the cheque to be recalled? It's here - I can't seem to edit it. https://www.hitched.co.uk/Chat/forums/p/40027/395397.aspx#395397 Well Barclays today...

Sorry MSN crashed and I can't get back in. Better go and spend some time with H anyway!

I want to send a gift to a friend who lives in the Cape Cod area. She's just out of hospital after an accident (broken ankle on one leg and torn ligaments on the other ?) so I want to send a basket of edible goodies to cheer her up. Are there any...

Well not quite but we thought it was about to! It came in at an angle right over the house and was so low that we really thought it was about to land. Our garden backs onto small gardens of a block of flats and it landed on the main road in front of...

I feel so stupid but I managed to stub my toe on the sofa in my office (home office which is why I had bare feet). It's my little toe and after about 6 hours, it's red and throbbing <ooeerr missus> and it's turned black just above the nail. I...

H has an IT business. A couple of weeks ago, someone approached him via their website to purchase some hardware. (this is a fairly common occurance). They accepted the quote and H asked for the money to be paid via bank transfer into the company bank...

/ Once flight attendants were issued with white gloves and pearls - now they get stun devices! This would seriously have me thinking twice about flying. And I can’t believe for one minute that the major corporate accounts (such as investment banks)...

Ever since I saw a documentary which showed someone being blown across the room whilst using a telephone during a thunderstorm I have avoided making a call if there's a storm. It's thundering and lightening here like mad and I have a conference call...

And I am slowly going mad. It's on the corner of our road and a main road - H just called our council as they have a 24 hours noise abatement number. Of course, they are totally useless. They said they "might come out" but there is nothing they can...
