Its scary isn't it. We advertised 12 vacancies on our website, and they were all closed within 30 minutes of being loaded!'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0

I've just seen on the local news that there are 25 jobs available in a new store opening in a nearby town........and they have had 1300 applicants :eek: How on earth can anyone say that the recession is coming to an end
That's actually quite normal...
I know it sounds crazy but that's mostly people handing in applications for the sake of it, ones that are too young, and immigrants with such a poor amount of English, they'll just be thrown in the bin.
It's seasonal work, throw in the students from your area looking for part time work as they hit the hard realities of life and that's the number!:beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:
Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!
How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:0 -

Good news on the cheque.
Had to laugh at the mention re the 1st post...look how far you have come.It's amazing...unlike me!!!...I get the debt down so far and then add more..lol
I agree we should all be grateful for the jobs we have as there are so many losing theirs.0 -
What is scary about that first post is that I admitted to £90k of debt.......when of course the total was much higher and I only admitted to the rest of it a year later
But I see that I was aiming to pay off £10k in the first year.......what I lightweight I had made myself out to be :rotfl:Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -

That first post is amazing, isn't it! Hypno, I'm just staggered you know where your first post was, actually - I have no clue about mine, none at all........
I keep writing and deleting things about this recession and the 1970s... I'm going to stop being an old fart. This is a tough time right now, and its especially tough because we've had such a long period of plenty. Actually, that *is* like the 1970s - the 1960s, although incredibly primitive technologically by our standards, were wealthy compared to what had gone before.....I'll get me coat.2023: the year I get to buy a car0
