DH wanted me to check his emails for news from fire service, but not to tell him...
Have just checked them to find out they aren't continuing with his application....and i just feel really bad for him, and now i really dont know what we're going to do!!!Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
Oh CAFC...(((hugs)))
So sorry to hear about that. And it was going so well as well.
What's the back up plan for OH workwise? Can he apply anywhere else?DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -
There is another fire service recruiting which is actually more local to where we'll be living but that doesnt open up till nov and im not even sure how long its going to take for their recruitment process to finish...
I just feel so bad for him because this is the only thing he wants to do in his life, and they've said on the email they cant give any feedback which is even harder because we cant work on where he's gone wrong.... which is going to be what really hurts for him....
I could cry right now but im waiting at work for a delivery, whilst everyone else is away on a training weekend, and I cant go answering the door looking a right mess!Wealth is not measured by currency0 -

Oh no!
Ok, he needs to ask them why not now- without knowing he cant work on it. - sorry just re-read- its still worth asking "should I apply for other services or is the reason going to stop me being successful elsewhere"
Honey Im so sorry I know how much was riding on this :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -

Honey, I just had a thought. Could you ask ( well not you, the husband) for the transcription of the phone interview under the data protection act- then you both can take a look at what was said and put your minds at rest.
It shoud cost no more than a tenner for DPA requests as I recall it.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
