[debtmountain]

Oh Viki,[:(]..I'm so sorry to hear your News and don't blame you for being annoyed,and to call themselves mates after not having the decency to tell him to his face,that's disgusting!!...I will keep my fingers crossed for you both that he soon finds a much better job with more pay and respectful employers!!..Hope your hubby got on ok at the dentist too with the root canal treatment,what a horrible day for him..sending you both a big hug...Take Care..xx

I am so sorry to hear that Viki - just when things were starting to turn the corner for you at last. Having met John a couple of times - I am sure that he will not find it too difficult to get something, and hopefully things will pick up in the New Year.

I'm hoping for that too Melanie, thanks. And thanks DM. New year, new start......again! X

Sorry Viki only just had time to read some posts, poor you and John, I truly hope he finds something real soon x

[Viki.W]

Thanks for the advice Lulu. i never thought of that. He is going to call them tomorrow and have the telephone interview and then hopefully get his face to face before Christmas. He was going to do it when he got back from the dentist, but the root canal took longer than usual and he wasn't in any state to call them!

Are you on the frugal friends map lulu? If so and you add Viki as a friend, and she does the same, you will be able to email her without waiting for admin to pick this up.

[luluj]

Thanks - I am but not very good at locating others!

[kallis3]

You don't have to. Just put yourself on the map, then you can use the drop down list on your profile to add Viki's name as a frugal friend. She is already on the map and hopefully will add you so you can then email each other.

[Viki.W]

Thanks Lulu, that's really nice of you, I'll add you to my buddies and then if you do too, we can email each other. I appreciate that.

[luluj]

done it!

[Viki.W]

Thanks Lulu, got your email. X

He should get job seekers allowance if he has no redundancy - I think what happens is if anyone gets redundancy in lieu of wages than you can't claim until that runs out. Somebody once told me that "trials are proof of Gods care" - going by that theory God must care for us a lot with the amount we have all been through. I having a very bad week - Philip got to see his new consultant this week (I went with him - that was one day without pay for him this week). The new man was very good and gave us a lot of time and is arranging for all sorts of tests and brain scans but he said he needed Philip to come of all his medication at once. I did say to P that it would be best to wait until after Christmas but he didn't want to and low and behold my worst nightmare P had adverse reactions and withdrawals and I ended up driving backwards and forwards to emergency appointments today. P now off work - no pay - and don't know what's going to happen.

Thinking of you at this "trying" time!!

[Viki.W]

Ah Elizabeth, I'm thinking of you and Philip too. I really hope he starts to improve soon. Big hug from me and thanks for your support. I'm here for you too. X

I too am sorry to hear this - I am sure hubby will find another job soon - what does he do?

[pixie]

Oh no Viki, just when things were all going well. What a horrible way to be treated by friends. I hope he finds something soon. Don't let it spoil xmas for you both though and give him a hug from me!
