Idioteque 0 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Exactly, normally even working all week there is still the football to look forward to on the weekend there is not even that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44817 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm feeling... ... genuinely desperate for the new football season to start. At times I yearn for the relative tranquility of pre-season (little to get worked up about), i.e. when we're not doing well. A few weeks off is good. But I'm really missing it now. For me supporting the club and enjoying football in general is the perfect antidote - at times - to the stresses of the modern day working life. There is always so much to investigate, to analyze. It fascinates me. what the fuck. CSI Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42391 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Having arrived in Brum, my least favourite city in the UK, it's pissing down, I'm knackered already, and I'm here til Friday. Pissing fucksticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 what the fuck. CSI Newcastle. Yeah in retrospect I was getting a bit deep with that comment last night. My excuse is that I was intensely bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4378 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Bored shitless at work - agreed to work this week as a goodwill gesture given the panic when I resigned but after handing over everything last week I have fuck all to do. Could have been worse - there was confusion with HR on Friday which suggested I'd have to do another week after this one which would have had me on suicide watch- thankfully a false alarm. Roll on the piss-up on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Had a mad, fab weekend catching up with some old mates on a flying visit to Manchester. Made me realise how much I miss the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15518 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Smashing. Stuck a sneaky hundred on Bolt not cracking 9.85 tonight. That'll fund the weekend quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2204 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Awesome. Settling down to watch the cricket with a nice bottle of vino. Then a 22.5km run tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Granite hearted, because I'm getting irritated by all the Princess Dianaesque rhubarb about Amy Smackhouse. She was asking for it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 More fucking stressed that I ever imagined I'd want to be. Moving house, giving up on practically everything I've ever worked for and starting to live without my kids all rolled into one. I'll be glad when this particular 'ride' comes to an end.

manc-mag 1 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Sounds pretty major! What's the back story there Chayton? Hope it all works out as positive, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 More fucking stressed that I ever imagined I'd want to be. Moving house, giving up on practically everything I've ever worked for and starting to live without my kids all rolled into one. I'll be glad when this particular 'ride' comes to an end. Fucking hell its all me me me me me! Joking Sounds like a shit situation but once the "shit" isnt there everyday you can start to see a better path.... (sounds corny I know). Hope you can manage to keep things sweet (ish) with the ex as it will make all the difference in the world to spending quality time with the kids. Good Luck.

manc-mag 1 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Aye, sorry Craig, obviously I know about you and your ex so I wasn't prying into that, I just meant how far away from your kids are you having to move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Long and short of it is that due to financial constraints, the ex and me have been living under the same roof since the divorce - NOT been easy to say the least. In order to get some closure on the whole sorry mess I've waived the division of equity I had in the marital home and have also taken an outstanding shared debt with me. Now to many that might seem like absolute madness but to those with kids, they should see some sense in my madness. Given her financial position, there's no way my ex could have taken the mortgage on herself and still raise enough capital to release my share of the equity. That left us with selling the house and god only knows where my kids would have ended up and that has always weighed heavily on my mind. By waiving my share and also relieving her of a shared debt, I've effectively given her the house - but my kids are safe and secure and that comes first. Essentially I'm having to start all over again and what I can afford (and have the ability to house my kids when they come to stay) is limited. Needless to say I'm moving to about an hour away from them which is a lot closer to work but trying to find something and have all the pieces fit together at the right time is stressful to say the least. Don't wish this on anyone - it's one hell of an emotional journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Fucking hell mate, that's a big upheaval and a major financial hit (and all amidst an emotional shit storm I've no doubt) but full respect for keeping the focus on the kids and maintaining their family home.

Toonraider 0 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Aw Craig, thats tough for you. I hope it all gets sorted. It must be so hard to be leaving your family home When your children are grown, can you not then have your share of the house?

The Fish 10855 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Explains why you've been so mardy in any case In all seriousness that courageous mate, hope the ex appreciates the sacrifice and I hope Karma comes back around for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
