  • My manager had booked today off and was told to come in for a meeting with everyone at the office with big boss from company that owns us...talk in the office is that they are closing the place down...wouldnt be surprised-so, possibly redudnacy AGAIN. Not too worried if they do, its a well known fact I hate the bloomin job but still unsettling.

    Oh no Bunny that doesn't sound very good! Big hugs.

    OK, have transferred money to savings a/c (so I can't touch it and it's emergency money for the summer) and found the s/o for my 3 debt. Can't do it til I get home but hey, life's like that.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • Hope the walk cheers you up Sally.
    Hope things work out Bunny - whichever way you want it to go.
  • Thanks Bookie,
    In a way, I hope they do make me redundant-I know that sounds bad but it will force me to get another job-still waiting on a date for CSO so it may be a case of just keeping busy til that comes to fruition!

    COngratulations on the new job Bookie - that's fantastic news!
    Sell £1000 challenge - £0/£1500 - No.80

    YNAB - take control of your money :)
  • I'm very excited - just hope I can do the job ok.
    Need to seriously get organised with this debt now. Job is 30 hours a week so I can claim working tax credits (checked before I agreed) and hopefully find some little things to do to top up the income discreetly.

    Need to go to Leicester now - roll on April whem my volunteering role will be somewhat less time consuming.

    Catch you all later and thanks for all the congrats. :j
  • My friend from work has just posted on my FB that EVERYONE from Head Office is at the office, including the HR manager....
