  • hugs to you, I can understand exactly how you feel but it could be an opportunity to find a better job than the one you got, with better pay, conditions, journey to work etc.

    check and double check your budget, do you keep a spending diary? I never realised how much I spent on chocolate at work until this month ;-) it really does help to realised where the extra unaccounted for money goes.

    your employer should allow you time off to go and look for another job, register & go and see as many agencies as you can, put your cv on sites such as monster etc - you'll be amazed at the amount of phone you get & for jobs you never see on websites until it's too late & someone else snaffled it!

    good luck & chin up chick, i know it seems a nightmare at the moment but in the future you could look back & think it was a cloud with a silver lining.
    Who says I have to be normal? :p
  • they don't have to give me any. Just finished reading my contract. Because i have been there under 6 months, its says should they no longer require my services i get 24hrs notice!! same for me...
    I need to start saving so I plan to save £2 a week to start with:beer:
  • I already am registered with every agency and loads of sites, i never took my details down when i got this job, but my phone hasn't rung:( i got offered a job buts its 3,000 less than what i was on..... job day tomrw though so hopefully something in there :)
    Everything always happens all at once.

    Thanks guys :)

    Good luck finding something soon. Someone with your work ethic won't be out of a job for long. ;)
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
  • Heyah, how you feeling today?

    Maybe take a look at your cv & see if any improvements can be made, if possible ask a friend or someone that can be objective to give you a hand.
    Also do you tailor your cv for the jobs you are applying to?
    I'm no expert on cv writing & mine is pretty poor but there are lots of websites that can help.

    happy job hunting
    Who says I have to be normal? :p
  • Well i appear to have caused a row between my mangers, 1 wants me to go 2 don't! I really want to leave anyway, but as my finances are such a mess and im not exactly over run with job offers, im going to stay and keep job hunting.
    Still no replies to my lodger adverts though :(
    And no luck with a part time job, thought i found one at a bowling alley - but its gone already......
    think i may take your advice and try and sell things on ebay i have lots of junk but its way to cold for a carboot just yet!!

    Thanks for all your help guys :)

  • yeah, i'm thinking of car booting - a bit scared as i've only ever been to one before & never sold at one but getting quite excited bout thought but i'm gonna wait til it gets bit warmer first!;) Going to take all the stuff that isn't ebay-able & i have that much junk it should be quite a bit!

    I'm still surprised by things that sell & don't sell on ebay.

    Good that 2 managers don't want you to go, i'd take some comfort from that, ignore the one that wants u to go!!

    Happy job hunting & ebaying! PM me ur sellers name so I can have a look at your goodies! (although i'm trying to be good I can never resist a bargain):rotfl:
