    Devastated to be honest, I doubt I'll find a job that pays as well and so close to home

    Sorry I haven't been updating my diary much recently, not a good time in my life at the moment :(
    Husbands work have also said they are going to be making redundancies, don't yet know if he's one of them

    I was thinking about you the other day CB.  Hopefully your husband will not be made redundant too.  Awful situation but at least you have savings and debt is under control.  I hope you find something else soon.  Will you get a payout? How long had you been working for them?
