Oh, juliejim, sorry to hear that.
I've been there myself - and OH was made redundant twice in 7 months in 2009. Will you get gardening leave or a redundancy package to give you a bit of breathing space at all?
And congrats on the weight loss, btw :j
I get paid until the end of September and it's up to me whether I finish this term or not so not sure what I'm going to do.NST #10 Steps 7K 2/30 10K 2/12 5 a day 3/30 NSD 0/20

That's the sort of decluttering I approve of!
I have swept them all into bed nowGood news is I've lost 4.5lbs at SW this week
Bad news is I've been made redundant
WOOHOO!! re the weight andre the job...
If the redundancy money it based on how long you have worked there then it might be best to stay a bit longer.. but it gets depressing working when you know the 'end date' apparentlyFingers crossed something else finds you very soon.
Packed my bag for the weekend.. got myself a nice pretty girly dress for Saturday night... and it is too smallWearing jeans and something roomy then
And the decorator didn't turn up to do me a quote
