So life was going great. The OH had a great job and he was really enjoying it. We were planning on having a great trip home in 4 weeks time, and his new company had give him annual leave, even though he hadn't been there long.

He got called into the office tonight and told that they had expanded too quickly and unfortunately, he's being let go because they aren't getting in enough money and can't afford to employ him anymore.

Just when I thought life was going great. I'm really not happy at the moment, and I've got gastro so I can't even have a drink.

So sorry, and it's absolutely no comfort to say that others are going through the same thing. Keep positive

Thanks Wol. It's hard though

Setbacks can also become opportunities.

I'd agree if he hadn't been out of work for the nine months before he got this job. Been there, done that, kind of thing........

Just hope it's not so long this time round

Oh dear, so sorry.
Hope that something else comes along for him very soon

Hope you feel better very soon too!

Cheers Sally. I've decided to fix the gastro with Mr Daniels so we'll see how that goes tomorrow.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed as well.

Oh JD, just what the doctor ordered!

That's what I figured. The 'cure all'

Hope it worked & you are feeling much better today.
If not, repeat the remedy until you do!

Thanks Sally - the gastro went but the hangover was a pretty good one. I'm still really p!ssed off and angry but I suppose that will go soon. Stopped at the bottle shop on the way home for some more medicine......

Sorry to hear your bad luck hope hubby gets another job soon

Cheers Lindzi

That's awful

I am a firm believer in fate though, so I am sure there's something better out there for him.

I'm a firm believer in fate as well, but I want to know who we've annoyed to be getting so much bad karma. The right job at the right time - only problem is, is that's what we thought he had I need some karma dust to sprinkle over us both, or a friendly witch to come along and cast a good luck spell
