Dear all, just thought I would update this thread.
I was suddenly made redundant on the 19th Jan.
Well, I got a new job a month later, which I started on the 5th March.
After a fortnight its going well, slightly less money but its for a big company and the prospects look good. Everyone seems very nice.
Didnt want to post before now in case it all turned to worms, but I really wanted to thank you all for you kind words when I was feel really down.
All my friends (both real and virtual) have been great, and the new Company are happy for me to take 12 working days off to go to the Yacht Club/hard Rock Hotel in two weeks time.
Thanks again!
