Keep your chin up, M. This is the first time I've been unemployed as well, apart from when I had my kids. I don't have a partner, but my kids are still at home and they are working so they are chipping in a lot, bless them:T
Start my new job beginning of October, and they fully understand that as soon as anything better comes along I will leave, which is very good of them. I am just so relieved to be going back to work, despite the fact that money will be tight.
The job I have been offered was not even advertised - they just rang me out of the blue as they had heard I had been made redundant, and wondered if I wanted something to put me on. They are stars:T
You never know - DWP may get themselves sorted in a month or so and we may all be offered a position:rotfl:0 -

yeah thought i was going mad for a second, but page 231 is saved in my fav as is page 219 as it had louises contaqct details on, when i click on page 219 it loads 217 and this page should be 232 but it 231, funny how we had a angry post not long ago and now things have disappeared, coincidence :rolleyes: maybe or maybe not0 -
I'm not prone to name calling on forums but that post from Sigrid was unreal. It looked to me like the post of someone a) who already has a job or doesn't need one and b) has a vested interest in this thread being "moderated".0
