bebe I'd be tempted to tell your DH that you are now in charge of all the finances, if the timesheet debacle is any indication of his ability to manage his money!
DP and I have separate bank accounts for our salaries and a joint one for household expenses, into which we pay the same amount every month. In reality, DP rarely pays any attention to any of them, so I manage my account, his account, the joint account and the savings account. He just spends what I leave him in his account
Auld sorry to hear you are not having a good time - in fact it sounds like a rubbish time! How long will it take to get heating refilled/fixed? DP and I snapped at each other this morning when getting ready, not used to this getting up at 6.30am - over the holidays the children have been sleeping in till 8.30am, bliss.
So New Year, new regime - Orbit's sleep has got to a ridiculous point and he keeps falling asleep in his lunch, so we are Taking It In Hand. Nap at 9am, no arguing. Did Pick Up Put Down with him and he screamed the place down, but did eventually go down at 9.15am, so not bad, although I suspect he actually conked out on me during the last Pick Up, from sheer exhaustion. Still, we shall persist, as it's got to the point where he is incapable of going to sleep except on one of us, and that's Not Good.
AF came back yesterday, blergh. I'd forgotten what it's like, and of course first one after having a baby is always a nightmare. Somehow I think I thought I was now exempt from such tediousness. Seems not.
Must write my flexible working letter this week - can anyone advise: I know it's good form to outline in the letter how I would expect my role to work, so who would pick up the work I drop, etc etc, but they're currently reorganising my dept so I don't actually know what job I'll be doing, or who I'll be managing, or anything, so it's kind of impossible. Should I just say that, and that I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how it might work in light of their proposed changes to my role/team?
