What can I do? I have 3 children and I have managed to work around them for the past 13 years.
Been at this job just short of 2 years and I have 2 months notice from 12 today.
I'm a bit panicky, I think I will try self-employment to fit around the children as although I have found some jobs out there they are not local enough for me to get there for 9am without the added cost of childcare.
Sorry to moan, I know you guys have your own problems, I just needed to get it off my chest.
Hope you are having a better day than me!

Sorry to hear that, may I wish you all the luck in either getting back to work or setting up on your own or even doing both, part time at work and part time at home.
Whichever it is, all the best0 -
Really sorry to hear about the job, good luck and fingers crossed for you0

Really sorry to hear that. It must be very worrying. How did you get that job? An agency? Perhaps try them to see what's about, but self employed from home sounds great in working round 3 kids. As long as you don't try that during school hols! Bad enough studying wasn't it?!0

Cheers guys
Got a few things to think about, couple of possible alternatives to consider.
Jan I did originally get the job through an agency - but thats shut down now..... Tells you something when a job agency has no jobs!!
Thanks guys

hey just know that your not the only one out there.. i feel your pain as i too got the news yesterday that i am to leave my job in 2 months time.. and i too have been in the job just under 2 years.
although i dont have any children i do however have mortgage bills to keep up with so am too worried about the coming months..
keep your head high and dont let it bring your morale down, just get yourself out there and show them what your made of... im sure all will work out for you!
Good Luck!0 -
Cheers Seanyboy
All the best to you to. I have applied for a few positions, and got my CV posted on some websites, I've also been round all the local employment agencies so can't be accused of not trying!
Hope it all works out for you.

im sure it will... to be honest i think it will give me a push to get myself into a large chartered firm... i think then perhaps i may be able to learn the nitty gritty of this job rather than just admin!0 -
Yeah, I must admit in respects I feel similar as I would like to get a job in a bigger company so maybe (fingers crossed) this is a blessing in disguise for both of us!0
