    It is better than a kick in the teeth, how many hours?

    I really would suggest that you look for an alternative full-time job as soon as you get on an even keel.

    Sorry about your situation.
    I remember last post and have to ask, does your son get DLA? IF he gets DLA middle rate care, you can apply for carers allowance this opens many doors including mortgage payments..
    Debt free and plan on staying that way!!!!
  • I'm so glad to get job back I haven't even thought of all these things but will do because you are all so right and I don't know what I would have done without you. I'm going to look for another part time job at the same time. Do you think that's a good idea?

    Just wanted to add my support. Redundancy is pants! My OH lost his job when I was 8 months pregnant and I was told not to stress! Good luck finding something else to go alongside the PT job. They'll be loads of people on here to offer practical advice xx
  • Thank you. I need all the help and and adivice available on here. Am I making a big mistake? I want to think I'm not because I love this company and who I work for. If I do it I'm going to start a debt diary on here for sure because I'm certain I can make it work. Just need loads of support from you lot if thats ok????
