    Ally - They really dont make it easy do they that job centre. Have a firm image of David Walliams 'computer says no' lady in my head now when thinking of the dealings you have had.
    By the way, if your ex boss offers you work again will you take it?

    Nope, they don't! If you've ever seen "The Job Lot" sitcom that's a fair representation. :rotfl:The only sensible one there is a security guard acquaintance of mine.

    Yes, I'll take it. It's only 12 mins drive from our house and the money is not bad. I don't want to do it forever, but it'll do if I can't get back into a profession.

    Dawn - I challenge you to look really hard for a week. Every time you go to the supermarket. The library. The playground. I bet there is roadkill to find!

    Ally - sounds like it's a sensible decision then. So long as you don't feel resentful of them constantly hiring and firing you.

    Tyrone - have a look around on this site. PPI reclaiming is such a massive thing they must be regulated up the hilt. If you are not happy threaten to go to the ombudsman. They'll back down then. Especially if they know they will get a heavy fine for non compliance.

    Thing is, I do look hard, and walk most places these days, so if there was anything, I would spot it :)
