Hi steve, so sorry to hear of your bad luck but as others have said maybe they aren't a good company to work for and being totally unreasonable too, i wish you luck with finding a employer who will welcome someone with your driving experience.
15 down, 45 to go
Om shanti, namesté, good luck to all who are embarking on the IVA journey, it isn't always an easy one but the outcome is the best.
IVA COMPLETED August 2012, received Completion certificate 18.4.13.
Dont bother grovelling to these people for a job, I know youre desperate but what the hell. I was so desperate for my job (locum) that I stood for being bullied and my life was hell, during this time I was probably the worst mother in the world for my kids. There are other ways mate, other methods of geting out of ****e street when all around seems to be closing in. Things happen for the best sometimes, although it might not feel like it. Youre worth more than that, please dont let this affect your relationship with OH. Sit down, hsve a good think and make another plan, I know its easier said than done when youre stressed out of your head. I dont know your cicumstances but I know how scary heading towards financial hell can be. Go BR if you have to and claim some benefits. Take the strain off yourself and give yourself time to rethink, retrain if needed. Life is for living, not for existing. Everything you may lose can be replaced, your self respect and a good relationship with your OH is priceless.
Have found some long term on-going work. Its 20 mile away and the money is terrible, its over 7 days and they dont even pay a weekend rate or overtime rate. But seen as there is nothing else and i have to pay the bills I dont have much choice. Atleat it will keep me teid over until something does eventually come along.
As for the exhaust, well I took it to kwik fit with the intention of them telling me where it was blowing from so i could just gun gum it until I could afford to replace it, but they had a look and said something was loose so they tightened it for me and it cost me a grand total of NOTHING!! So I was very happy. Don't think there as bad as some people make out really.
Steve, that's better news. At least you can look for something else at your leisure. Good news about the car as well. I like those sort of bills!

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Wow Steve, something for free, you must have charmed them! Glad you found some work, sounds horrendous, but it'll give you a bit of cash. Hope something better comes along soon. X
I hit rock bottom when I thought i needed it replacing. There was no way I could have done and I would have needed it for work as there doesnt seem to be anything in this Town!!
The work isnt horrendous as such [unless you call Curries home delivery horrendous!!], I just wont know what days im working out of the 7, but money in the bank is better than no money!
A glimmer of good news at last Steve. If bad luck comes in 3's as they say (or more sometimes!!) then it must surely be the same with good news as well so fingers crossed for you.
Regards.
