Well we have just found out that my husband will become redundant on 15th April. His branch had been doing really well making a profit but the powers that be decided to close all the remaining branches down. We had had a little glimmer of hope that they would continue with the branches in the new role they were doing as they were making money.
My hubbie is now on 3 months' gardening leave and we are both seriously looking for jobs now. I am not as worried as I was back in June but still was a bit of a shock when we knew it was final. He has been with the same company since 1986 so is quite a change for him, hopefully for the better.
I know people here are going through many different things themselves and some who have been in a similar position themselves, and have problems far greater than mine which makes me feel this isn't really a bad situation to find ourselves in.
My philosophy is as long as we as a family are okay that is all that matters.
