for the next 3 1/2 weeks. My brother is coming to stay with us for a short while. Firstly so that DH and I can cram in as many extra hours/nights as is possible - at the moment if I do extra nights, he can't go out early and fit some more hours in, and if he wants to go out early I can't work extra nights. With my DB staying with us he'll be able to help out by looking after DS2/picking DS1 up from school. As well as being there as a baby sitter for if I've got any training at work during the day (it's 'training' time of year again).
It's got the added bonus that if I'm shattered (being in the 1st trimester and all that) I can doze when ever I want too. .
The 2nd reason is for him - he's had a rotten year, he was forced to quit his job, the bullying he'd had for the last couple of years became too much for him and he walked out. He's been suffering from depression (so much so he contemplated suicide a few times in recent months ), and is playing the waiting game until he's declared bankrupt (he actually doesn't mind being made bankrupt - after much discussion with CAB etc they've said in his position it's the best option - it's the waiting for it to happen - because of course in the mean time he's still being harassed by people he owes money too.
He's single. He lives in a nice flat........in a HORRIBLE area of Edinburgh and is stuck there most of the time - so a break should do him the world of good (and he agrees) - he's REALLY excited about looking after the DS's for a few weeks.
Anyhow, the short of that waffle (sorry ) is that he'll be staying in the 3rd bedroom/office so I won't be able to get on here in the evenings so much.
