Ive been asking round and got a 4* hotel about 10 miles away with top roads for hooning on...... its about 40% discount and they'll do a slap up silver service dinner if youre interested.....

Ive been made redundant several time now.....the first time time was 6months after starting my first job......doh!!!! having now been in the industry for 20+ years its happened several time....the only thing this time is that its the very first time Ive had to ask for 'government help'........and what a farce that is....anyway I like everyone else hopes this wont continue..... as Ive said before chin up and give it beans.......self belief is a big part... we can do it

as it says in the title....theyve pulled out of WRC with immediate effect..... heres the link http://www.swrt.com/news/latest_news.html?id=1590

sorry about the news matey..... its been the same for me for the past 3 months....redundant at the end of september.... and its amazing what you can do to make ends meet without too much sacrifice...... Im hoping to find something in the new year but have decided to enjoy christmas and then get to 'it'... dont be down hearted....be positive...things will change and pick up...... enjoy the festive season....frugally and I hope you dont need to sell the esprit.....(Id put that down as a final resort) keep on in there and keep yer chin up.... (and dont get too furious with the ineptitude of the DSS/Job Centre......theyre useless...what do you expect from the civil service) all the best and good luck Gareth
