    :eek::eek::eek::eek: just came out from a small meeting with boss - He is making us redundant:eek::( tbh, we were expecting it, it was just a matter of time when he is going to shut it down or offer the company to us.

    Everybody finishes on 21/12. Except me & my colleague end of Jan.:( Unless we can magic out some dosh to buy up the company.:o

    Me said if we (myself & my colleague) buy up the company, I wanna get rid of 4 trouble makers. Boss said no can do:( if we buy the company we have to buy the existing staff too. Me not want it, they can go & find a job in that case.

    Myself & my colleague will start a new job elsewhere with another company hopefully by Feb.


    So sorry to hear such bad news, especially so close to christmas. :eek:Hope the new job works out well for you. ((hugs))

    I used the stampies from your unfranked pressie to me to send you the cake;)

    Had to add a couple more because it is so expensive. I could make you a dozen cakes for the price of that postage:eek:

    I like it, but, but, can you make mine in margarine for the next batch please.:D


    Butter is a bit too strong for me - I do still eat it but not as much as using margarine:o:o

    Pesca should only use margarine:p:p


    No really its fine - just use margarine next time :D
