    Make that unemployed now.

    Just had a call, the role's been pulled.
    Sorry - don't know what else to say

    The on call allowance does add up if you do not get called out.

    We have 3 guys on call that get £2.50ph, last year they were called out a total of 7 times between the 3 of them.

    Can be quite profitable, for doing, well, not a lot.

    Not saying this is your case happymum, i suspect you are a lot busier than 2 callouts or so per year? Do you not get O-T at increased rate if you are called out?

    PN...Sorry to hear that, i know you've been looking for the last couple of months or so :(

    Oh, I just read your other post and was made up by the good news.
    Stupid thing to do...offer a job..then change their mind. What are these people like?
    Don't what to say but hope another comes up soon.

    I am a clothing designer/pattern cutter/producer.

    Currently making bootyliscious, body fascist dresses for those in the mating game.......all with an eighties, trash vibe.
    Styling and target customer seems to be more recession proof at this moment in time.
    All Made in England (a downsized factory unit in Leicester).

    Arrggghhh PN, how annoying for you.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Sorry to hear that PN. Fancy they offering you the job and then it gets pulled.
  • Solicitor. Thankfully not doing conveyancing so my job's relatively safe.

    The offer/pull was made more annoying because the offer was made immediately because I was apparently "too good to lose" and they didn't want to interview the rest .... didn't want to lose me.

    How quickly things change.

    All the usual "blah blah ... any other roles that come up ... blah blah" stuff, which doesn't help.

    Nothing in my searches today to even apply for within a 60 mile radius either.
