    Awww Deep that will be sad if you get made redundant because like you say you'll be leaving friends and a company you obviously enjoy working for behind, but it could be a wonderful fresh start for you being able to clear debts and possibly finding a fab new job as well
    Money doesn't make you happy so I'm skint but cheerful :beer:

    I have an interview next week as well but mine is slightly different though. Might be getting redundancy - not all bad as have been with my company for nearly 20 years so will get enough to pay off my debts and more. Will miss my mates though if it happens.

    Seriously though, fingers crossed for you. Show them that you are the best person for the job. Good luck.

    I know exactly how you feel. I have just been made redundant from an organisation where I worked for 22 years. Albeit, the last 8 years job sharing. It was a voluntary redundancy and I am starting teacher training in August, which I am exicted about. However, it is a strange feeling now; finished up last week and I think it was only over the weekend it hit me. The money was quite nice, but it feels strange that for the first time in 22 years I have no employer:):)

    I got the job - starting salary of £21,000, which is a good pay rise from my current £19,600, I'm soooooo excited! Not sure of start date yet as they need to appoint someone to backfill my post x x

    Thank you, I'm really shocked as I was up against people that had more experience than me

    Hopefully I can now pay my debts off quite a lot quicker, it's still going to take a long time but it's a good start :)
