I have been seriously broke for the last 8 months, let go from my job through no fault of mine or my employer - they did everything they could to help,

Just about managed my rent and juggled bills, lost weight by following the poor mans diet :)

I applied for a pay day loan and 2 minutes before it was approved my old boss sent me a back dated payment for 4 times the amount I had applied for,

I was so so happy to "cancel this transaction"

I start a new job next week, on a much bigger salary, so we will be ok :)

Just wanted to share my luck and hope other people catch it,

Have a great day everyone :)

Oh congratulations. Had your old enployer been naughty, by any chance? I know HMRC has been telling off a lot of companies of late.
