  • @ Linda - Fingers crossed for your husband, let's hope it doesn't come to that.

    I hate Mondays, I'm completely knackered and the day's barely started! :eek: James called me up at about 11:30 last night and woke me up, I've no idea what I said to him, I think I thought I was still dreaming. My phoneline should be working again today ( :j ) so I'll check that when I get in and tell you if it is or not tomorrow. I've got to go, I'm falling asleep at the keyboard here. Talk tomorrow.

    OMG Linda, I will keep everything crossed for you xxx

    If there is no money for redundancy I would advise against walking as your OH would get redundancy and notice pay from the government, it will be the statutary amount but worth having.

    A place I worked for went into liquidation and my payment came through within a week from the government fund.

    Lets hope it doesnt come to any of that though.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
