Life changing decisions.........

We've made one. I didn't post this last night because I was still thinking lots about it. But Husband has decided he has had enough and wants out of the RAF.He will put in for PVR (Premature Voluntary Retirement) as soon as he has finished this course (He's away, leaning the equipment he'll be using in Afghanistan), and will be out after 12 months. Possibly 6 if he gets a job with the Police, or some where like that. This is rather scary.

It means I need to find a job back in our home city (about an hour long drive from where we are now). Given the current financial climate, and the fact I have no work experience beyond basic retail, this will be quite hard. I am not looking forward to this, but I think it will do me good. I don't even know what area I want to work in, I am looking at everything at the moment.

Thanks to his military experience and the training and qualifications he's got through that, Husband shouldn't find it too hard to get a job. Touch wood. Though it's unlikely the wage will match his current one.

Then there will be a deposit to find, more rent to pay, and things that we get cheaper for living in military accommodation will rise. Quite considerably, I assume. This means a fair few sacrifices to be made- a 'cheap' Christmas, cutting down the Sky package, being rather strict when food shopping, no holiday next year, no unnecessary purchases... I won't be having driving lessons after Christmas (this does make me sad), no kitten for me (*sob*). Hopefully nothing more than what we can handle, though it may take some getting used to.

I know we'll both be much happier when we know what we are doing. Husband hates his job. I hate my job, and where we live. We just need to get to where we want to be.
