As some of you might know we moved back to the UK from France early August - we took a few months off from work to go and spend some time together, as since we were married we never had any quality time due to us both contracting and working at different ends of the country doing different IT contracts, so off to France we went.
As soon as I fell pregnant I wanted to come home, and both agreed it was the right decision.
Im pretty unemployable now (think its the bump that puts the employers off
), and luckily hubby was offered a fantastic Senior Management position, with the IT company he used to contract for, and all was great. Then he got a call to say they couldnt employ him at present as all recruitment was on hold due to a company merger!
Well for the last few weeks its been a nightmare - no income, 2 mortgages to pay (we still havent sold the French house), plus having had nearly a year off in France we had used most of our savings.......and its been so stressful. Hubby has applied for so many positions, many miles away but its just been so slow due to the credit crunch.
Well.........he just had a call from the original company and they have just had the approval to hire him on a permanent basis!
Although he is going to have to be away a few days a week for the next few months at least its a job, paying fantastic money and I am so relieved...in fact I cried when he told me!
Sorry just needed to tell someone - we have had to sell furniture, our nice cars etc as we were so broke, and now we can start to get back to reality!
