Job Worry.

Iain called me today while I was wandering round Sainsbury's.  They've received an email at his work telling them that there's going to be a meeting about the future on Monday afternoon.  He knew that the company would be making redundancies, and I'd been worried for a while that he might be unlucky.

Apparently both big boss and medium boss are coming down from Aberdeen as are HR.  Now I'm not one to worry unnecessarily, but that doesn't sound good to me.  Anytime HR get involved it's not going to be good news.  On a positive note, at least on Monday we'll know what's happening.  But it's going to be a bugger if he is made redundant to put it mildly.

Looking on the positive side of things though, we still have my salary coming in.  He still has his house which we'll either sell or rent out - so it's not all doom and gloom.  Wedding-wise, well it's still going to go ahead in Nov as we'll lose too much in deposits.  We just might have to cut back on a few things which we haven't finalised  yet.  Personally, I think table decorations would be the first thing that I'd get rid of.  That would save a bit.

And also on a positive note, I did loads of overtime in the last few weeks, so that will be in Friday's pay packet.  Hopefully I'll be able to pay off the credit card, then we can get down to some serious economising.  Also I have a load of jewellery which I could sell if we get really desperate.  So we'll be fine whatever happens. 

So I'll just go back to carrying on as normal and hope for the best!
