Sorry to hear your news. Right that is the three negatives over with. So the next thing to happen is a positive. A buyer for the house!!!!! Two fingers to both employers and a move to your dream.

You will win through.

Re: WHAT A DOWNER!!!!!!
 
Thanks all,
Glad to say I am a bit more sober now. :o Made several online applications yesterday and another today and also registered my interest an CV so interested parties can contact me for a change! Got a call back from one I appied to yesterday and have got a telephone interview tomorrow morning with a bank. Didn't go to work today, didn't feel like it so called in sick. My back had been playing me up for months but didn't pursue it because didn't want to risk getting the sack if I had the time off! I figured what are they going to do? Sack me twice? :eek: Need to go and see an orthopaedic surgeon again so can go and see the Doc in the morning before this telephone interview.

Hi Sam, and thanks for the good wishes! :wub:
The Doc is arranging for me to have an x-ray so have to wait for appointment for that. :unsure:
Telephone interview went well and have now proceeded to next stage which is an "experience day" and involves a tour of site, presentation and face to face interview next Wednesday.
Going back to work today (on late shift this week) so once I am logged in, I will tell them I am going down the Jobcentre! I we will see if there are any other possibilities there, that I haven't already seen and applied for.
Had a viewing on the house yesterday. Very nice couple but don't really know yet whether they were interested so waiting for feedback on that. :)
