    I am watching a programme about people who have lost their jobs, God it is hard to watch. ..............and the fella and his wife at (not) Ford - company gone bust, no pension, no redundancy. !!!!!!. 20 years.

    Honestly if you are reading this and have lost your job I am right behind you wishing and hoping for a new job. I don't know what people will do. Life is very hard.


    night all

    The worst ones are the companies that choose to go bust as an option so that they can restructure and have a management buy-out without paying redundancy. Criminal in my view!

    I'd have been stuffed without a decent wad of redundancy. Do need to find a job (or a Sugar Daddy) in the next couple of months though. Getting a lodger - especially the one I've got - was a good move.

    Thanks for the best wishes Buffy,

    And I agree about not spending money you can't afford on your Mum - mine would go bonkers! :p

    Hi Buffy
    Been teetering on the brink of a dip too, but just can't go down that route, is too emotionally exhausting ...so hold on and come and share these jaffa cakes :)
