            So sorry Luc.
 let us know when you know.
 ...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
 We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
 Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0

            Thanks everyone. As I say, I'm not really surprised and had even anticipated being made redundant when I came back from maternity leave. Will give me th enudge I need to find something that is actually going to allow me to be occupied on a full time basis and actually stretched a bit maybe...
 In many respects I am in a good position because of maternity pay being guaranteed do for us the next 6 months or so is pretty much a status quo financially. I just (!) need to find a job by 31 August...:rolleyes:26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

            Sorry Luc, not so good eh. Are you entitled to a redundancy payment? You will still get your maternity pay though. Len xThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
