2 years ago today my husband tried to kill me. My statement was fucked up so he has never faced charges.

Yesterday I was laid off. Not been there long enough to get severance. No jobs in my sector and everyone who is being laid off in my sector is chasing the same few jobs in retail etc that are out there.

I have lost 6 stone in the last 2 years (needed to but still, not done in a healthy way) and I am not able to pay my mortgage or bills after this month.

Why am I bothering? Thinking I should just give up and pack it in. Let the bank have the fucking house, and to hell with it.

Thank you!

I have pretty much convinced myself I wont get it, in the vain hope I wont be upset when I dont.....which the (vaguely) sensible part of my brain knows is ridiculous because I need it so much, so obviously I will be upset.

I am 1 of 2 out of 120 applicants in 2 days that got interviewed, which is an achievement, but I know I wont see it like that when I dont get it.

Oh and the fucking clutch on my car is going to cost £1100 to fix, which I dont have, as I dont have a job.

Does that Noel Edwards "asking the Universe" thing work?!:o

I've been to the bottom more than once, and they say there's only one way out of that which is up. You are a survivor and you are strong and you will get there, and why the hell can't you be someone else anyway ? You can be anyone you like OP !
Good luck with the job interview I mean it x

If I can be someone else I think I will be Cate Blanchett. Please pass that on to whoever is in charge.

Much obliged.

The nespresso machine is for the martinis don’t worry 😁

My friend swears by asking the universe...

PyongyangKipperbang · 13/11/2020 21:52

In that case I need definite instructions!

Second interview today.....the area manager is good! I have no idea how it went, I was very impressed with his questioning technique and he gave bugger all away! Although he did say that one of my answers (when asked how to deal with a staff member calling in sick on a v busy shift, I said I would bodge it :o) was pretty much what he wanted to hear so..... who knows?!

Still not allowing myself to hope.

On the Vino Collapso. Wont change anything but stops me caring for a bit!

Congratulations on your 2nd interview - fingers crossed for you!

I tried the universe thing once, didn't work, but then maybe I should aimed lower than asking for a mega lottery win...

That sounds positive! I’m in bed far too early these days sorry. I’m like a pretzel here with so many things crossed for you :-)
