    Oh dear.  I hope he gets kept on next week.  I think there will be a lot of this with workers furloughed and not brought back.

    Thank you. I paid off the £1,000 before I heard about husbands job
    If he does get made redundant I would have to just do the minimum payments until he found something else

    Just the government minimum I think, which will be less than £2,000 for me

    Horrible for you - redundancy is always a shock I think even in these very difficult times. Hope you will find something else quickly

    Sorry to hear that. Is there anyway to work at a different location with the same company or is it definite redundancy? Take care.
