Well from the 1st April I will officially be made Redundant from my job!! It wasn't the greatest job in the world to be honest and I'm not exactly depressed at the thought of leaving but I am depressed at the thought of not having the security of a job!! The wedding is all paid which is a huge relief but really wanted to start saving for a house because we are still living with my parents (one of the main reasons we could save enough money to have the wedding we wanted) but it's the thought of being married and still living with my mum and dad it makes me feel so stupid. I just want my own place as we have been living out of what was my bedroom for 3years now and it's a nightmare it's not the biggest room in the world and right now with all the wedding bits and bobs we basically can't move good thing about that is that we have been living in each others pockets for so long that when we do get a house we will be used to it and the space will be wonderful for us; god we will probably sit in a bedroom for the 1st year glued to one another because thats what we are used to. I can't fault my mum and dad they have basically let us live here for free whilst saving for the wedding, my mum always says that it's their gift to me because they can't afford to pay for my wedding so this is their way of contributing but they must want their own space now aswell!! Grrrr so job hunt is now on I want to be able to save enough for a good deposit but without a job it's hopeless just feels like I will never flee the nest I will still be here when I'm on my death bed!!! Just never seem to have any luck with anything thats the 2nd job I have been made redundant from in just less than 2years I feel like a pure failure!!! Ahhhhh right thats my rant over thanks for listening ladies!! x

Sorry to hear that joolsy,but maybe its a blessing in disguise so you can find a job you like and get paid for it! Parents are lovely sometimes i'm sure your mum secretly enjoys having you there still, don't fret too much cos your parents love you :0)good luck with finding the right jobxxx

I have been looking on all the job websites and applying for anything and everything!! I'm hoping that companies aren't put off by the fact I need 3weeks off in July for the Wedding!!!
Aw thanks alibum - my mum has been great she has told me to stop stressing and just wait until I get back from honymoon to find a job or go back to college but I feel like a total burden on them an plus if I was to sit and do nothing from now until July I would probably end up pulling my hair out - suppose I would have more time to spend on this lol (if I don't laugh I would just end up crying)x

Your not in the financial industry are ya Joolsy lol...
Your not a failure hun, many many people have been in your position, me included! I was made redundant August 08 and ive enjoyed not working up until now but I think it is time I started looking! Im sure the right job is right round the corner for you! Fingers crossed something turns up real quick x x x
Nope Government Company (Student Loans) Aw I know the feeling Suzi I was made redundant in September 08 and that was the job I loved (Plot Sales/Conveyancing Paralegal) took me 4months to find another job and just took the 1st thing that came up purely to pay the wedding an now i'm being made redundant again maybe it is a blessing in disguise who knows!! xx

awwww babe , what sort of job do you want ? i can keep ears eyes open for you if i spot anything
I would love to get back into my Paralegal Qualification but to be honest in order to save for a deposit I'm willing to do anything apart from call centre work!! xx
Poor you. x If you need to update your skills or to get some quals might be worth speaking to your local college's and see if they have a response to redundancy scheme. Bascially they can put you on training courses for up to 8 weeks or so that will help you get back into work. Speak to jobcentre about it and they can refer you or telll you which college to go to. Wales it's slightly differnt you have to go to careers wales and ask them about react funding. I work in advice and guidance in my local college so deal with it all the time! hope you find soemthing soon. x
