    Maria, can I ask just one question? Tell me to !!!!!! off if you want:D

    How on earth do you keep going:confused:

    No matter what life throws at you, you just keep getting up and coming back for more.

    Quite frankly you amaze me, girl. If I had half the crap that you get thrown at you, I'd just say sod it and give up.

    You are absolutely bloody amazing and don't let anybody tell you any different:beer:

    I'm having trouble believing that, as an ex employee of Orange, I am actually hoping, wishing and crossing everything that a position becomes vacant quickly for you!! :p :rolleyes:

    just had to add, big hugs

    just had a word with my mum who works in managment at the same company i work for, she deals with a lot of temp staffand those on probationary periods. she has confirmed they still need to have a valid reason for sacking you, especially if its not just because of the work not being available. we have a free counselling, legal, debt-advice and god know what else helpline at work that it for employees and family. when im in tomorrow, im going to find the number and pm you with the right details and you can just say you are my relative. they will arrange for details to be passed to a solicitor, financial advisor, medical person, whatever is needed, who will then call you at a convenient time. I've used them a few times and they have been fantastic!!!! they don't make any checks to make sure you are who you are saying and although they will ask for a name, you can give them anything.

    I live too far from you to really be of much help but this maybe a step in the right direction. Also, how are doing towards xmas for Cadence? its just my neices are 4 and 3 and i'm buying stuff now that are on offer (3 for 2 etc) so as there is only two, i'll happpily send you the spare bit of each buy for the little one... just let me know after i pm you what stuff she likes.

    Anyway, people have bee nvery lovely on here, is there anything you need - clothes wise. Im doing a car boot soon but will happliy forward you as much as i can instead. im a size 12-14 normally as well so should fit. even if it just helps up your spirits a bit.

    anything i don't get sold, i will also try to send you for you to have a go at selling to raise some more cash.

    will pm you soon
  • Wow Maria, Just read your thread from start to finish. You really are an inspiration. :A
    You've moved me to tears, I sure wished i lived near to you to give you these in person (((hugs))).

    I'm so sorry you've had yet another knock back but take a look at your early posts. You have come such a long way. :A I'm sure everyone will agree. How much more confidence do you have now :D It really comes across in the posts just how far you have come.
    Take heart, I'm with everyone else in willing you into a new job and for you to find happiness in yourself. Do whatever is right for yourself and your DD. It's so easy for us to tell you what we think is the right thing to do but if you have a few minutes at the end of the day (yes, I know how tired you must be!) just try and think clearly and rationally about your next move, where do you see yourself in three/six months time, Is this where you want to be??

    You have dealt so well with the debt issues now perhaps you can start to work on your personal issues (yes, the lazy oh!)

    Take care, Thinking of you,
    Granny with (((Hugs)))

    cant tell you how sad I was to see the change to the title of this thread.
    I have followed your thread and have been thinking about you often.
    I have nothing constructive to say..I just hope that things get better for you soon.

    oh maria IM so sorry to hear about your news.

    Im not too sure what you mean though, yuou were standing up for yourself to get what was yours? Do thry owe you money? Or something else?

    Sounds to me like tihs company are pretty bad, but I recommmend you give ACAS http://www.acas.gov.uk/ a quick ring. they are excellent, and they will advise on employment issues whats legal whats not, they have been helping me out recently and I cant recommend them enough. Of course, they are free.

    Love
