Last night we watched a lot of BBC America...it was lovely...Little Britain, Creature Comforts and Eddie Izzard :lol: It was fab....I've woken up this morning seriously in the dumps, I miss my friends, my old house, I miss the night life in London ...I'm kinda cranky, we woke up this morning talking about Eddie Izzard and ended up bickering about socialism !! My last words were "Go to work !!" :blink:

Ive been here since December, and obviously (maybe it isnt) I haven't got a job..I'm doing volunteer work at the chamber of commerce, Ive previously been out of work for 1 day since I left school at 17 and I'm nearly 50 now......Housework is not a career option !! I feel like my brain's dying ...

I've looked forward to this weekend and last night Brucie said he had to work today :( and tomorrow he's doing stuff, so it feels like I will hardly see him....and my last words were GO TO WORK.......Im a fool....

Be gentle with yourself (F)

It takes some time to settle and find work, and you couldn't be in a better place than the Chamber of Commerce. The connections you make as a volunteer there will prove invaluable somewhere down the line.

I miss things from the UK too; I miss my friends, my social life (which is pretty much non-existent here in the US), things like knowing where a cashpoint is and where to find a postbox. But I'm here with my husband, and that's the important part.

You're not the first person to send their other half out the door with words they regretted later on, and you won't be the last either :whistle: Give him a ring at lunchtime and remind him that you love him, or bite the domestic bullet and make him his favourite dinner (or a reservation at his favourite restaurant!).

But above all, be gentle with yourself.

:star:

Make sure you're wearing clean knickers. You never know when you'll be run over by a bus.

Sorry you are down in the dumps... My husband is too. I don't know what's up with him. He started obsessing about money again, which he constantly obsesses about, he's the one without the job being the AOS'er.. I think he's bummed out about jobs too. I haven't gotten two words out of him all day.

British TV rocks, I like to watch the oldies on PBS: Are you Being Served, As Time Goes By, and Coupling..

I have always loved Benny Hill and Monty Python as well.

Try to find some things to do around the house, maybe write a few letters,ect....

Time will pass and things will get better.

Here too! LOL
