Oh my... You both have our sympathies; Malcolm has now been out of work for 6 months, just picking up the odd HSE job here and there, not even enough to decrease his job seekers (princely sum of £90 pw).
Like you, we have a huge mortgage still and I fear the time is coming when we will lose the house. Still, no kids at home, just us and the animals so I suppose I shouldn't grumble.
All the same, I know that horrible greasy, queasy feeling that comes over you when you begin to consider the alternatives - at the moment, my mind just refuses to dwell on it and whenever I get an attack of the OMGs I find myself reading some stupid fantasy or watching CSI - anything but the real world.
I do hope you find something soon. Maybe the government will stop talking about all the help they're giving 'those people with houses to buy' and actually do something - oh, right, sorry! That's a scene from one of those fantasy books I read...
