Hi, is there anyone from the Corby area of Northants? I saw a Northants topic but everyone was from Wellingborough, so I was wondering if there was anyone closer?

Bloody workmen! I hope they sort it out quickly. Ihad hassle with one changing a door split the door architrave and scratched half the paint of it so i complained lol. I want to go kettering campus to do a childcare course but cant find one thats part time starting i september Hope your course goes well.
Either of those days are fine with me i think somewhere near town would be best but i cant think of where would be best with the different ages of the kids.
I so what to go out tonight but struggling finding someone whos going or wants to go out.

KatyLiz · 05/04/2008 15:49

lol, I know the feeling. we've come to my mums for the wekend so that we can go out for my birthday tonight, and dh doesn't really want to go but he will just cos its my birthday tomorrow, and he'll make the night totally miserable where he's not up for it! So its hardly worth going!
it is hard to find good part time courses, i'm lucky that my one is 2 evenings a week for 2 years, so I'll be finished when Oscar's ready for school.
I don't know kettering really, only know the dentists, lol, so I'll have to leave you to think of somewhere!

shelleylou · 06/04/2008 21:38

Shell or Shelley depends on whos speaking to me im not bothered either way. Its great when they fall asleep themselves. I used to just put josh down in his cot if you carry on putting him in his cot awake hell get used to it and settle himself.

Yay dont realise how much you miss it til its gone. I enjoyed yesterday aswell as did ds.

KatyLiz · 10/04/2008 05:55

I know, I've felt lost without it! Lucy said that she liked 'the really nice lady', so you're popular, lol!
Dh quit his job yesterday so I'm really stressed. Why do men do such stupid things?! Now we're stuck with no money, and I've got him in the house all day driving me mad.

OP posts:
shelleylou · 10/04/2008 09:33

Ahh bless her. Thats rally sweet. I dont know would love the answer to that though. He'll have to find another 1 pretty quick as i dont think he can get JSA as he quit. I hope you manage to get things sorted.

KatyLiz · 10/04/2008 10:11

They've told him he can only start claiming benefits in 'exceptional circumstances'after quitting, but they've given him an appointment for next week so we'll have to wait and see. He's out now going round some agencies trying to get something, but I'm just furious. I could've strangled him last night, and now he's having a go at me for walking around looking moody and upset!! Aargh!! Anyway hope you and Josh are ok.

OP posts:
shelleylou · 10/04/2008 10:39

Well if you dont think his reason(s) for quitting werent good enough your going to be like that. You'll be worrying about supporting yourselves. I hope he manages get something on an agency. Theres quite a few in kettering aswell he could sign on a lot of them you have tomake an appointment to do that.
Josh and i are fine thanks, how are you all apart from that?

KatyLiz · 10/04/2008 10:57

We're fine, just bored. Lucy's upset because she wants to go to nursery and she just doesn't understand why there has to be holidays. Dh did have good reasons, but I can't see why he didn't stay another couple of weeks until he had another job lined up. The only good thing about having him around is that he can take us places, so I'll force him out to the park or somewhere when he gets back.

OP posts:
shelleylou · 10/04/2008 11:00

Ahhh bless her no doubt when shes bigger shell be looking forward to the school holidays. Ye i would have said exactly the same about getting a new job first, if he was really annoyed at the time over something he could have just thought about the there and then and getting out of it.
The job section is in the et tonight so that might be worth a look.

KatyLiz · 10/04/2008 15:51

Things are looking a bit better as an agency can get him a call centre job starting 21st. Not ideal, but it'll be money at least! We've been down East Carlton Park which the kids loved, and then to Telford Lodge, which was really good for their ages. I'd definitely go there again.
