    Sally - I agree ring them up....!!!!!! £500 quid in January.......ppppfffftttt......

    they 'should' be sympathetic.

    I was gonna stick my nose in and agree with Becky but then thinking about it I realise its not always easy to do the 'right' thing.......

    Transferable skills? :confused:
    And I have no weaknesses obviously. :D

    having no weaknessess is a weakness...:rotfl:

    knowing you have a weakness which you are 'working on' is a strength....

    Your weakness is you tend to sell yourself short.....:D

    Going to have to...can't suddenly magic £500 out of no-where...and also OH still hasn't heard anything about his re-newed award for JSA. So basically I now owe £500 for council tax £1500 for overpayment of Housing benefit, OH has no job seekers, I will now have to pay majority of council tax £150 per month and £200 of rent...

    Sorry, it's a new buzz word!

    skills that you have learned from previous jobs or just in life that would help you in the role with the new company - working with the public and a strong customer service ethic are good examples.

    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.

    Agreed which is why I classed it as 'sticking my nose in' because I'm not in that situation so I dont have to live with the rubbish feeling afterwards...

    *start of sticking her nose in post* I have to say I agree with Bookie on this one...considering how much upset this guy causes you why dont you just walk away and have some space from him for a while (he might coming running back anyway...)

    *end of sticking nose in* Feel free to ignore the above if you wish!

    stick nose in as much as you want....As much as I moan on here and as angry as I get about his motivation its not all his fault.
