Hello one and all

Resurrecting this thread as my OH has a verbal job offer and he also had a third interview today for another job, so he may even have a choice!

Thanks for all the support and good wishes. Hopefully this is a sign of a change in fortunes for us. Just me to get into gainful employment now.

Good luck to everyone else who's looking for a job.

Off now for a beer - or three. :thumbup:

Congratulations to you! Am so pleased things are on the up for you.

Now have one of those beers for me please :)

It was frowned upon if he even took national holidays off...even Boxing Day. He was working such stupid hours there was no way I could take a job.

He's been with them just under twelve months, and we had a call this morning to say he's being 'let go' today.

So, don't ask me about moving to Canada today....feeling like I want to get on the next plane out. Not back to the UK, but anywhere apart from here.

Sure after the dust settles I'll be more reasonable about it, but right now....grrrr.


that sucks :thumbdown: hope your OH finds work soon and things look brighter for yous:wub: good luck and it will get better
