It couldn't get any better.

I'm on the bench and my OH's company has just announced that they are looking at large scale redundancies.

His Europe offices find out next week.

Deep joy.

At least you don't have a big mortgage and have lots of savings!

No I don't. that's one good thing.

Woh there. We're talking doom here, no good things:

"What does that actually mean?

Well, it’s so bad, it’s actually quite hard to take in. The Treasury already expects Britain’s budget deficit to climb to 9% of GDP next year – the highest of any major country – with overall national debt topping £1.1 trillion by 2014. To put that into context, it’s 70% of the total amount we produce as a nation each year – the highest level seen outside wartime.

And remember those are the official forecasts – so it could easily turn out to be much worse. And the eventual shortfall will have to be made up somehow. "

My OH just got a call from his boss and he will be one of the many unfortunates who will be made redundant.

Sorry to hear this. Hope things improve soon.

Shame. Let's just hope he gets more that the statutory minimum as a settlement.
