Have faced redundancy in the face for the whole month of March.

Today an email arrived from the head office. It stated this year there will be no pay rises.

Reason given: To save jobs.

I've not had a pay rise now for the past 4 years.

Should have been given notice today but it's been put back another week. :roll:

And if you can captain one of the sides in the Cricket World Cup final this week that should help the stress levels too.

I'm at work today until 12 and then that's me on gardening leave until someone can decide if I have a job or not. Removal packers are in the house now. House move tomorrow.

I actually rather hope I wont be back in work but have a feeling I will be. Would much prefer to take the redundancy and shove two fingers up and find something with better.

I managed to get the divorce out the way previously so that's one stress less. Marriage? Er no. Love Foxy to bits but not going down that road again. :)

Baby? I think that would tip me over the edge. :lol:

I popped into Tescos to get some Milk yesterday and there was one bawling it`s eyes out in a trolley seat , it was all I could do to pay for my Milk and leg it out of there . I take my hat off to people that raise kids . Had none myself (yet) .

Babies cry for a reason. Usually hungry, tired, or full nappy. The correct response is for whoever's in charge to investigate. Some babies are artful and learn that crying = attention and for some negative attention is better than no attention.

I vividly remember once in M&S cafe in Shrewsbury. In fact some of the staff still talk about it. True.

Well whatever happens with your redundancy I hope it`s the outcome you want Si.

And on a hugely positive note I wish you, Foxy and the family a wonderfully happy and fortuitous time in your new home. Very best wishes to you all x

Thank you Claire. We have now nearly finished unpacking. Decided to spend the whole day doing it non stop. Knackered but the house looks brilliant. :)

Just a few things to sort out such as upgrade the TV (redundancy dependant) and we'll be done. :)
