The 2nd depressing date comes later in the month, the dreaded Credit Card bills from the holidays. Yeah, i'm full of cheer today.
New jobs/extentions (137 to be precise) have come up for my location. You may be thinking "hey, this is good news for a change" You'd be wrong, it's the same work i've been doing for the past 2 1/2 years. I find it bad that we've got to re-apply for the same work, and that it's the same work.
And to top it off nicely, the icing on the cake. As the adverts say "6 month extension". It's a new 6 month contract, meaning anyone whom takes this up WILL lose the redundancy payments of anything upto £5k
