Blabbermouth

 I know I've mentioned on here about our efforts to find somewhere else to live, but that's not a problem in any way - to put it bluntly, very few of you know me, so it's not like we can be identified.  I've only told a very few people in real life - 2 friends plus my siblings.  Husband, however, couldn't keep anything to himself if he tried, he's a right blabbermouth (gets it from his mother, it was a standing joke in the family that if you wanted everyone to know something, just tell her and say it was a secret!).  It transpires that all of our neighbours know - husband's told quite a few (as he talks to everybody) and the news gets round like wildfire.  A couple of neighbours I hadn't seen to speak to since the day of the anniversary tea party have asked me in the last couple of days how the move is coming along (I didn't even know they knew), and this morning a new neighbour who I've not even met yet asked husband when we're moving out - they were chatting over the garden gate.  Seems everyone knows!  The thing is, husband is oblivious to any possible consequences - at this rate, our landlords may well turn up on our doorstep asking if they can show prospective new tenants around as we're shortly moving out! (we haven't yet told our landlords, it's not something I'd be particularly keen for them to know until we actually hand our notice in).  We've not even been offered a place yet, not even close to that, never mind about moving anytime soon, however much we'd like that to happen.

I have to be very careful what I tell husband - as he's so indiscreet, I know he'll have no qualms about repeating anything I say, even if I tell him not to, he'll just forget that instantly and blab to anyone.

The list of jobs thing hasn't really been a success - he's completed just one small job.  He did start 2 others but hasn't finished either of them....to be fair, they're both outside jobs and it's been too hot for him to work outside in the afternoons.  However, if he'd started the jobs fairly early in the morning instead of faffing about doing nothing and not starting till lunchtime, he'd have stood a much better chance of getting them done!  It would also have been better if he'd actually finished the first job he started, before abandoning it and beginning another!  Honestly, he's a bloody nightmare.  I've told him I want both of the started jobs finished this week, and we are going to do at least one tip run.  I have to be really firm with him if I want things doing, which is so bloody frustrating.  And when I do have to ask him, yet again, to finish a job, all I get is a load of backchat.  He's back to being downright argumentative again.

I know he's frustrated and worried about not yet having a diagnosis for his memory problems - well, so am I for goodness sake!!  The outcome will affect both of us - probably me more so than husband, as he just breezes through life whereas I'm the one who has all the worries and planning and actually DOING stuff.  Honestly, it's all wearing me down more and more.  I'm so tired.
