I announced on 6th November that the shop I work in has been saved from closure. Took a phone call today, the shop is now earmarked for closure on 16th December. Because (I know I shouldn't start a sentence with that) the company is in Administration I have to claim redundancy from a Government department, this could mean any time between mid Feb and mid March 2010.

Happy Christmas...... not!

This is another "poor me" thread.

I know I am not the only one in the same position but a friend bought me a bottle of wine and I am feeling a bit sorry for myself.. Just as well I am on the bus in the morning!,

It's a blow at any time of the year but just before Xmas makes it even more grim. When you put your claim in keep chasing them on the phone, good luck

Have been crying most of the day, since I received the "Phone Call". The worst thing was having to call the rest of the staff who have to rely on their wages for extra money.... didn't want them reading it on the net or hearing it on the news. Had to shut the shop.

I know loads of places you can get cheap wine from the 24tth!!"
