Compromise

For the last three years at this time of the year we have just come back from a week spent in a villa in Portugal. Due to the fact that hubby hasn't been working since November the holiday has gone by the wayside. Here we have conflict, as we both have had tax rebates I am chomping at the bit to book a holiday, OH wants to go to Thailand next year so wants to conserve some of the money to go there next year.

I have two schools of thought on this, whilst part of me agrees if we want to go to Thailand next year we need to save, however doing the job I do I also think live life for now, you have no idea what is around the corner. He has been told he has a start at work next Tuesday, great news for him, he really is going a little stir crazy at home. For me I have the dilemma of child care. As it is half term next week and T is going away I only have A to sort out, she is suffering quite badly with hay fever at the moment.

Last night was spent with my sisters old colleagues from when she worked at the police station, we had a very pleasant Tuesday evening having an Indian. Most of them are retired and I was thinking how I wish hubby was in a position to do the same. The night before was a PTFA meeting, I am saying nothing on that. I'm not sure how my boss is going to react when he is back from his week off when I tell him I am now unable to do full time. Too much juggling with child care and the like.

Lots has happened of which I will come back to.

All I know is I want a holiday, work is very stressful , we need to meet in the middle and come to a compromise.
