Hi to everyone, Not been here for a while as things have been ok for me, just starting to take a slump at the mo though, things at home are crumbling. My wife is starting to be very moody as she has been trying to find employment but she has not worked for twenty years so every reply to her has been "sorry you do not fit our critera" so far, she has even walked into various stores and handed in C.V's and had no luck.My wife and youngest daughter are constantly arguing and I mean constantly whenever they are in the same room from morning till last thing.My eldest has been to the gp herself as she is showing signs of anxeitiy and depression.My wife and I as a couple have lost most of our friends as we have been asked out to so many get togethers and not gone people have just stopped asking us to anything as they think were just being miserable but the fact is we just cant afford to go a lot of the time.The area we live in is very middle class both parents working ,own or buying their home.I have explained to friends before now about not having the cash to just drop everything and go out, we have to plan our money in advance.This is partly what has upset my wife this weekend as certain people have took the mick because they have been invited to a party for my boss where I have worked for 12 years and just live round the corner, the funny thing is the people that take the mick are the people that slag the boss off behind his back.Guess I'm just moaning but starting to feel like we are being outcast because we cant keep up in the rat race.
p.s we wernt invited to the birthday, so certain people in work found that amusing!

I really don't understand why some people are cruel but I do know understand what it's like not to be able to go out. Our church organises nights to the theatre or meals and days out to places of interest. They know we are on a low income yet they don't think about that when they book things up. Subsequently we can't go on many outings as we can only afford the cheap ones or save up for them.
Not being able to get a job must be really getting her down. That's the problem with not working for a while it makes it harder to be recruited.
