    Awww Buns - you mentioned the company were having issues when you joined and what with the current financial climate lots of businesses aren't putting their money into advertising.

    You've done your best, you're just a victim of the times. Look at is as another notch to put on your CV :D

    Bun think positively hun, you've got many skills and employers will be begging you to come work for them as you're a lovely motivated indivdual with spark! The spark burns brightest when times are at their worst - and that's definitely you, you've got such dazzle and drive.

  • Can you lot give me some help?

    I am considering going back to college and re-training as a hairdresser/barber-would I get help as an 'adult student'?
    Where do I look?
    What do I do?

    I am sick of just falling into the next job just because I need one, this is too demoralising and I cant keep getting fired/made redundant etc.

    Can I just say I HATE A and L and their stupid crappy online banking?

    I moved money on Friday morning

    its a no show.

    It shouldn't be as its a faster payment thing.

    And so now I am overdrawn.

    and GOD only knows where my money is.

    the sooner I get rid of that bloody bank account the better.

    *fumes*

    Me too, Buffy - the transfers take AGES!!! I thought they had the faster payment service??!

    Bun I am sure you can probably get some help but ive no idea where to send you for the definitive answer. I think re-training now is a perfect idea and you're right to get out of sales now while things are bad

    Hi Bun

    I just googled this for you and there do seem to be quite a few courses out there with "concessionary" prices - they are courses for adult students (19+) so they sound good. I found these ones - they are fast track ones:
