Thanks for the comment and for following me – it still seems strange to have people interested in my ramblings.

I have lots of things that I hope will come to fruition to help me become the stay/work-at-home dad that I’d like to be, some of which I shall write about soon!

My son just celebrated my time at home with him by leaving a little bit of sick down my arm….

Sorry to hear of your story. It was only the other day that I was discussing with some work colleagues about how, despite reading of all the unemployment and economic downturn (especially how close we are the recession the UK underwent when we left the gold exchanged in the early 1900s) that I didn’t really know anyone who’d been affected by the credit crunch beyond inflated utility bills, car fuel and food costs.

Now I’m not meaning to rub salt in your wounds by that statement. I’m really sorry that there are people, just like you, in the situation you’re in. There are too many people out there who just aren’t willing to work, taking from the state and giving nothing back. It’s obvious from your postings and demeanour that you want to work and be totally self sufficient.

I will be following your posts with interest and hope that sooner rather than later I’ll be reading about a new job, better salary than before and more financial stability. Best of luck and I hope you managing to keep your chin up and not let this temporary situation get you down. The best thing about the time of will of course all the time you’ll be getting to spend with your son.
