sending you some dodgy hugs in the meantime :grouphug: lets hope you're not one of the ones to go
Thanks for the hugs
Honestly, I'd rather go than stay as I've been here for ten years now and think it's time for a change. I'm looking into training and college courses as well as jobs, so I'm trying to be very positive about the whole thing!0 -

Ohhhh Fresian - sorry to hear that but good to keep a positive spin on things.
I was made redundant many years ago and at the time it was horrendous - but - it was a dead end job I'd just stayed in & it did give me the kick up the butt to find something better (but it was easier in those days).
Keep everything crossed that, if it does happen, you find a new job quickly and then ...... I have just 2 words to say ..... Ikea and kitchenGrocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
2016 Sell: £125/£250
£1,000 Emergency Fund Challenge #78 £3.96 / £1,000Vet Fund: £410.93 / £1,000
Debt free & determined to stay that way!0 -
Sorry to hear that you may be made redundant but good to see you can look at it in a positive light..whatever way it goes for you I hope it works out ok.0

Morning
Thanks for all the kind wishes, it really means a lot. You're all very kindI think I'm in a better place emotionally and financially (well, I'm as skint as ever but I'm a better budgeteer!) than I was the last time this happened. I'll keep you all updated on any progress. This is the last thing on my mind today though as I only have eight more hours to suffer through at work then I'm on holiday for a week :j :j
I'm very excited as although I amn't going away we're going to be hopefully heading up to the Highland Wildlife Park to see the polar bears (courtesy of Tesco vouchers) and I'm meeting Souk for lunch tooI'm also going to a full day craft workshop which should be brilliant - I've seen some of the projects they've done on these before and they're amazing and different from what I would normally make so I'll learn loads too.
Amazon vouchers are mounting up nicely - I'm waiting for another one from SB and got a MySurvey one through last night so my balance is up to £12+. I should have ordered another one via SB before the next one is delivered and most of the people on the challenge thread are getting £15-£25 in vouchers per month so I have something achievable to aim for. I've already created a private wishlist of things I've seen that I think other people would like as Christmas/birthday gifts, so the plan is coming together nicely!!0 -
I need to look at SB more I think - £15-£25 a month in vouchers is amazing!
Have a good dayBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Good luck with SB, I have a plan to make as many as possible once I finish college for 3 months, my christmas fund is now over £100 and I am proud of myself for not dipping into it but I want it up to £300 by Christmas so need to double my efforts!!!
Have a lovely week off, I am off to Ibiza (but I am sure you have seen that on FB!). Lovely sun here I come!Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
Sorry to hear about the job situation F_F but at least you are better equiped than most to cope - all your debt busting antics will not have been in vain I'm sure.0

F_F, am I right in thinking that you have a Kindle?
Also, is there a referral process for MySurveys?

Also, is there a referral process for MySurveys?I paid for all apart from £10 of it with surveys/SBs as well (Mr F paid the rest for me) and only buy books for it with survey/SB money.
If you PM me your email address/name I'll send you a referral through. If you sign up I get 100 points - you need 550 for a £5 Amazon voucher but every little helps :rotfl:0
