    oh heck!

    it is something i worry about with my OH. He is a Class 1 hgv driver (massive artics....wet my pants when i see him driving it) and he works for a small company which prints the packaging and info leaflets for medicines, both bog standard stuff like paracetamol and more hospital stuff.

    i worry he will just come home one day and say its all gone boobs up.

    we have a contingency plan

    1, he gets on the agencies (he has 5 years exp so will be popular)
    2, he becomes my assistant


    hope you OH gets sorted soon


    love mandy xx

    Oh Get him ringing round the agencies they usually have work for better pay. It might be worse hours but at least he'll be working.

    Good luck x

    Yes I found out the hard way too!!...I just ordered a kitchen, paid deposit and waiting on delivery next week!!!

    I paid deposit in cash but thats all £187 but better than paying for the whole amount...so now I have to write off to administrators now for refund.

    Hope your hubby finds alternative.
