Well doc signed me off for another month so I went to work and handed in my resignation. Boss said to just wait a while and think about it, he's not got a prob with me being off sick as it doesn't cost him ( assume he gets it back from the government). Now even more confused!! Well spose I've got another month to think about it lol!
Jen- I had enough put by to see me through a couple of months and then was going to rely on eBay, mystery shopping and the jewellery.
Hope you get your work situation sorted- not long til your interview now.0 -
