DH was down to the last two, then today ...

[Spidermama]

... he found out the other bloke got the job.

It was another potentially life changing job - a big part in a new TV series. I wouldn't mind, but it's about the eigth time he's been down to the last two and NOT got the job.

So the debt remains, we won't be sanding the floors and mending the roof and boiler after all and I now feel guilty about my recent ebay purchases which will be trickling in over the next week.

Sometimes I HATE being married to an actor.

oh arse

bummer sorry spidermama. I really hope it wasn't Robson Greene or Simon Berry he lost out to - their ongoing appearance on TV baffles me totally.

who is he? what's he been in?

sorry btw.

Robson Green sucks big styley.

Aww sorry to hear that SM.

Keep positive.

It will happen.

Absolutely Marina. I hope it wasn't Steven Tomkinson or that bloke who was Egg in this life.

I keep thinking the odds are shortening in his favour. Ah well!

DC he has been in loads of telly and theatre stuff but no huge leading roles as yet.

wash your mouth out spidermama. Another two overemployed morons IMO. How bad does ST especially have to get before people will stop casting him.
Your dh's time will come, I hope. I wonder who he is and where he trained but I know you don't want to tell us that, understandably. (I work in a college with a well-regarded actors' training course you see).

Ahhhh! To be back in drama school. Those were the days before we knew how ridiculously hard it is to make a living as an actor.
I'm amazed we're getting by with four kids given his line of work.
He has a half decent sideline in workshops for various people ... but I WANT MONEY!

Sorry. I know the best things in life are free, blardy blardy blah ... but my floors need sanding, my boiler needs fixing and dammit I'm wearing wearing this same old shabby dress.

but just think, when he makes it big you'll be wearing dolce and gabbana and sitting at the oscars!

bosscat I've been saying that to myself for years. I think there've been one too many knock backs now and so realism is creeping in.

Perhaps I need to start thinking about going back to work. Booooo hoooooo.
