    Damn it I have been dying to tell you all...........

    Hubby waiting for a start date, he attended a meeting today for the steelworks and should hear the date by next week..........:j:j.

    He have been messed about terrible the last year, kept on list, had interviews then businesses have suddenly changed their minds and closed down......I know its been unfortunate for this to happen but a very bad year overall last year.

    The steelworks he worked for before rang him in the week as well to ask if he is still interested.........and of course he is, but said they have not been given a proper date to start production, as a new company had bought this from when it went into administration.

    This is another steelworks in the same district though, so that is cool.
    They require 30, its temp for 3 months and it goes from there.

    Please wish us luck, I could not hold back telling you any longer, simply because he have been let down a lot over the last year with false hopes.

    Thank you.;)
    Di.

    Let's hope it is good news.

    Fingers crossed for you

    I must be honest I love bacon but cannot face it at the moment. In fact not too hungry at all cause of this damn cold. My ears keep popping and its blummin painful. I just fancy cold puddings really.

    (Bacon and brown sauce butties are my favourite though normally)

    Hope you feel better soon

    I know its so difficult to say it, thought writing it in green might help. Cant stop now blue lights are flashing outside off to the butchers.

    Is it a big white vehicle with men dressed in white? Are they carrying a big buckled jacket up your pathway? ;) :rotfl:

    Di that very encouraging.x

    Yes it does doesn't it?

    They are taking on in 3 batches, apparently this steelworks who belong to Corus let too many go before, even though many were due for retirement anyway.
    He only applied and sent CV online 3 days ago and they rang him yesterday to go for interview this morning.

    Am praying this is the one now.;)

    That's really good. The quicker they want to see someone, the sooner they want them to start! :cool: I had that with this job. Got phoned to be seen in the afternoon, got the job the next day and over 80 people went for it. Had to start 3 days later. :cool: Everything will work out just fine for you guys. :T X
