I am getting confused now? All that matters is he has a job now so a wage coming in at last. That is a huge relief i bet.
Its a huge place, they are renewing the whole lot of the roofs, where hubby worked before the section of where the furnaces are based, this one is due for completion, but they will not reopen now until its checked by health and safety, so they can start everyone off at the same time.
The other is another place a bit further away, they are expanding and building a new section, hubby did ring for an update the other week and was told that its not completed yet, but they will ring to let him know.
So whatever comes up first really.;)The one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

Borrowers wrongly sold extortionate payment protection insurance policies by niche loans firms are facing huge delays when they claim for compensation.Delays: Borrowers face huge waits on PPI paybacks
New rules should finally end the loan insurance rip-off. And not before time.
- PPI victory
Most lenders sold PPI, which is supposed to pay up if borrowers lose their income through redundancy or illness, and many are now paying back thousands of pounds to people who claim the plans were inappropriate.
But some lenders - especially smaller firms specialising in riskier borrowers - have gone bust or dissolved themselves, effectively eluding the liability for any PPI mis-selling.
In these cases claimants must appeal for refunds of premiums to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the organisation that pays out when finance firms fail.
This process can take years, warns Daniella Lipszyc of Ultimate Law in Manchester.
She cites the example of Picture, a specialist lender whose PPI premiums often equated to 50 per cent of the loan - £5,000 in the case of a £10,000 loan. Picture went bust last year. 'Consumers have no redress against the company for the sale of the PPI unless they go to the FSCS which is a lengthy process that can take up to a year,' Lipszyc saysThe one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -
