    Ah, but Treacle is logging in to see whether anyone is still falling for her manipulative games. She's removed her photo since Emmzi told her that her photo would identify her. Shame that she has been daft enough to not also remove her Exeter location. It's a pretty small place, and how many about to be former client retention advisers who are just coming up to being terminated after a 12 months fixed term contract, who are disabled (or claim to be) and who have had loads of time off sick prior to being offered a job with a competitor, and have a meeting with the current employer next week to discuss their restrictive covenant banning them from working within a 3 mile radius for the next 6 months do you think there are - in that small place Exeter?

    Bizzare.

    Go on the comping thread - yet another interest of mine - and you'll find a facebook thread where all us lovely compers put our facebook links - you can find me there really easy too.

    Photo's, past employers, family - got you can even befriend some of my colleagues and ask them if i'm disabled if you like!

    It's not difficult to find me - because I have nothing to hide.

    probably even find my phone number if you look hard enough.

    Anyway - onto the JOB/NOTICE topic - turned up today and taken in for a little chat. Discussed a lot of the things we were going to talk about on wednesday - The clause for the non-competition and distance from work etc -- waived completely -- they said they rarely use that anyway and at the moment a job's a job etc..

    They have also put me on GARDEN LEAVE for the rest of my notice period so that I have the best possible chance and as much free time as possible to job hunt. I also have several doctors and hospital appointments coming up so it makes me free for them.

    Good to see that your employer is reasonable (probably more than reasonable)
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    4 people on the ignore list....Bliss!

    Oh my god - you weirdo's lol - why should I change my profile? or remove my picture?

    I have nothing to hide - the company i've been working for know that I asked for advice online and have no issues with it.

    I joined on here what 2006 or something - before I was properly diagnosed - and yeah I do enjoy walking - I love nature and sitting and watching the world go by. Just because I can't do much of it dosen't mean i don't enjoy it.

    If you like go on sparkpeople it's a diet site I used for a while - same username etc..
    And you'll see my condition and things on there as well.

    I also have a comping website at www.compingqeen.com

    I have nothing to hide - I've also got naughty piccys I make a bit of extra cash from on yet another site - same username.

    And a whole load of paid to click sites i'm signed up to - same username.

    I enjoy a lot of things I can't do much - writing poetry, nookie (lol) drinking alcohol - just can't do those things much.
    Does that mean I shouldn't post THEM as interests?

    think it's a bit weird for you to look into me so much - but flattered I guess.

    Very happy with the outcome.

    thanks for the genuine helpers out there - and for the weirdos - look me up on the saucyjobs thread and you can pay me to send you some knickers. lol!



    You said in your OP that you had another job to go to?

    One thing is clear is that for someone who struggles to do admin work they have had no problem at all typing countless posts on here.

    And for someone who can't sit for 10 minutes on a bus,she's really happy about all the cinema tickets she's won and used!
  • And for someone who can't sit for 10 minutes on a bus,she's really happy about all the cinema tickets she's won and used!

    How is the cinema like a bus?

    The bus vibrate's and jerks around loads - not seen the local cinema do that?

    The cinema seats have leg room so I can stretch my leg out - I always sit in the front row.

    As I've said despite buses having disabled seats - they are normally full or taken up by mothers with prams, older people etc.. so there are quite often times where I have to wait for the next one.
    Cannot sit in the other seats as cannot have my legs in the normal seated position. It really is more the jerkyness and severe vibrating which causes the pain and problems - I most often use taxi's.

    I win a lot of stuff that I don't use - I give it to family and friends and sell some bits.

    I do indeed and it dosen't start until the 6th september - which is why they've given me garden leave. As stated I also have a lot of appointments to go to and have to buy work clothes.

  • As stated the issues that I asked for help with are now resolved.

    Thanks to all those that helped.

    Now are you all done with the rather petty stalking and pulling me to bits or shall we carry on?

    It's not me that's looking dubious in nature anymore - it's you guys who actually go snooping into the person - rather than giving them the advice they are after.

    Have seen other threads here where you all do the same - and you should really be ashamed of yourselves.

    As stated I don't claim any benefits - I don't want to - I want to work and have worked all my life.
    Can you all say the same?

    I am disabled and have had to put up with opinionated people like yourselves all the time - It won't stop me from trying to keep a job.

    I've said all i'm going to on this thread - and I think i've defended myself enough.

    So why do you need to job hunt, if you already have a job to go to?
