Hello playmates,

I have read back but I cannot remember any of it - I have no brain cells free.
I have been trying to learn the stuff I don't know but it is proving fruitless. I'm still leaving the same gaps, and even starting to forget the stuff I used to know. I don't know if I need to try less or more !!

Anyway this time in 2 days and I will be free, FREE!!!

I can pass a decent paper (maybe even a good pass if really lucky) and could fail a tough one. I just want it to happen now - I can only get worse not better it seems as time elapses.

If worrying earns results then I do deserve a pass.
I have put so much weight on over the time i've been out of work. My strict diet starts monday. With the exam out of the way, it will be time to start plans to get back to work. Annoyingly the results aren't out for over TWO MONTHS. So I can't really apply for jobs while I don't know the result (unless I feel I've done well).

I have plans for the time though. I'm going to do a first aid course, I'm lined up to shadow a H&S Practioioner for a week, and I might be cheeky and ask to go back into my old firm and pick the brains of the "Responsible Person" there (they owe me, grrrr).

I hope you are all well.
Love you all - but it is easy coz you are all wonderful

GL Gilly, Im sure you know what you need to, it can seem daunting, I found that when i was at FD, I knew !!!!!! all about anything, but i train better on my own not in a group.

Back pain easing up nicely

I did let them know, whilst I didnt declare it on my medical assesment because when I applied (but when I applied I wasnt on the medication) there was a lag of two months from applying to getting the job.

I let the trainer know who said she would make a note of it and ensure that people were made aware, my team leader was made aware and he was very good, then unit manager got involved, got me into an office, said i would lose my job unless I started telling the truth. Started asking me about previous jobs and timescales (cant do this?) and medication when i stopped, when i started, then threatened me with all kinds, such as company doctor. All this going on whilst I was in tears and struggling to speak.

Anyone advice on the above matter, now I feel better I want to take action against them, not for renumeration reasons, but to ensure it doesnt happen to anyone again.

I was in a job for a short while and worked for a 5ft nothing bully. I was an emotional wreck. I left after 4 months! I was literally shaking every day at the thought of facing that man. I was signed of work for 4 weeks before I left. Boy was he miffed. Kept ringing my home number (I didn't pick up). I had a mortgage, my son was 6 and I had no income. I didn't care, I could not face that man any more. Erm........ I also reported him to the DWP for claiming things he shouldn't have been . I was unemployed for 6 weeks but it was worth it. I have never ever told anyone that I work for that I suffer from depression. I can't deal with it myself let alone knowing other people know would be too much for me.

CAB would be a good place to start.

Definitely, I mean it was dec but I feel able to deal with the problem now, employment laws exist for a reason, im not having people like that walk over me.

I resigned but it was effectively forced, i was threatened with the sack, company doctor, and told "I would really consider leaving".

I am not sure but I think you have a certain amount of time to make a claim. I would have at my old place of work but I was told I hadn't been there long enough. I hope you take it further and that you succeed!!!

Thought this might be of help
