I think 42 is quarter of production (4 shifts so roughly 10/11 pershift).. theres also the same amount going from office etc

Hubby just come in from work, saying that there doing absence etc as part of the selection process.. he is really good at his job.. but had 3 weeks off before Christmas when he hurt his back. Sitting crying my eyes out.. Bankruptcy would not be an option in my job!! He says we'll be fine if it happens he'll do any job.. which is all well and good if there were any jobs out there!!!
Really fed up.. just when I thought things were getting better.. somebody up there doesn't like me!!!
Sorry for moaning[:(]

Sorry to hear that angela18 - but at least your hubby if made redundant is prepared to do any type of work. That is really positive. I would try not to fret until you know the actual outcome. Then steps can be taken, for example, a payment break until your husband finds work again. By the way any redundancy money due if he is made redundant?

Possibly something then, not much but something to tide you both over until a new job is obtained - if the worse happens.
