The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread - Part 3

moneymabel

Only coz you told me about it-thanks Jen!!
Have you changed your mind about handing your notice in?

jenjade

a friend at work has suggested i speak to the manager above my manager and ask to be transferred to another centre so i am going to do that first

moneymabel

That's a good idea- good luck for that.

jenjade

well just spoke to him and he said no i can't transfer i have to apply.

I am going to hand my notice i am 100% sure that i never want to go back there and i am really annoyed with my manager. I am going to hand it in tomorrow. I cannot continue working for her after she has treated me like crap!
I have applied for the other post if i don;t get it i will go onto income support for a while i really don't want to go back. if i get an interview they will happen on the 8th jan and she wants someone to start ASAP! so fingers crossed it will all work out if not i wil be on income support and do comping etc all day to top it up!

moneymabel

Can you get income support straight away if you voluntarily leave your job or is it like JSA where you have to wait 6 months?

jenjade

i spoke to someone about that and as long as i am a single parent with a child under 10 years old (dd is 7) then i can go straight onto income support

moneymabel

That's not so bad then- are you going to have to live off your savings til you get another job or will u get enough benefit to survive?

jenjade

i think i would be able to just about cope if i did dooyoo comping etc to top my cash up but i would have to dip into my savings a bit i think

moneymabel

At least you have savings now- think how far you've come in a couple of years! You'll be able to have a nice relaxing Xmas with DD and sod the job :-)

jenjade

i don't know what to do about my uni course
