pompei Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Three months into a new job, the b***ds made me and a few others redundant as part of a management regrouping, or whatever the crap-speak is. But grey clouds and silver linings, got a new job, but don't start until January, so lots of time for lolling about whilst Beloved toils at the hospital. And other benefits too:-First, the company motor is going back - it's a 318 diseasal, and a nasty piece of tat. Not sorry to see it go. Then Beloved says to me, we need a runaround for you until you start the job. Ferrying kids when she's at work. That kind of thing. Go and find a car for 500 quid or less. So I'm like a pig in primroses, scouring ebay, the small-ads, the newsagents' windows and Tesco's notice board. A plethora of old crap out there, all waiting to have tyres kicked, and service histories examined. What joy!Few fixed rules, need 4 doors, MoT, and be capable of being sold on again in the New Year when I can buy something better.I'll let you all know what develops ...

pogweasel Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 That sucks to be given the heave-ho after a short time. I'm out on my ear too, as a victim of circumstance more than anything. But it does mean I get about £7k in my sky-rocket as a result. Very tempted to blow it all on shite. But removing the credz cardz and a new central heating wotsit are on the menu. Good luck with your shite-quest. There's that lovely Austin Princess on the bay, surely ticks the boxes. GET ON WITH IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Me too -but as I'd only 'done' 7 months so too short term for funds from them -except they have to honour my contract with pay, car allowance, phones, expenses etc etc to mid Feb. 'Gardening leave' has a lot to recommend it.Cest la vie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I just got a letter from the taxman that sent me straight to the potty, got an inspection coming up! Balls! Not that I'm too worried 'coz I'm a good boy but I'm still cacking it, might be having another sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
