Sorry to hear your bad news, patman. Not the best time of year to lose your job but then, no time is good. I'm sure everyone on this thread will be hoping you find something else soon:beer:.0

I have had to transfer £10 from my EF as I forgot the chimney sweep was coming, it gets worse he said it was a botched job by previous owners and has condemned my log burner :mad: I shall now have to save like mad to have it fitted safety. I had visions of a roaring fire at Christmas with friends and family enjoying roasted chestnuts:( oh well I shall count my blessings and be thankful that my central heating works and I will share Christmas with loved ones:)EF #40 £250/£1000 Sep PAD 26/30 £700/£700😀 Oct PAD 1/31 £300/£500
