Put down working, but definately not rich and definately time poor.
Self employed.
Wife employed but nervous about job.
16 years of motgage to go.
1 son starting uni with 2/3 years to go.
1 daughter on gollege course min 2 years with additional uni option.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

think the big r is comming our way at work, with now real work for 6 months now and the shop floor on reduced hours theres still only work to keep
them going until tuesday morning every week!
They keep telling us they are waiting for the banks to come back and tell us how much money they need to save each month but that sounds stupid to me.
If theres no work and your the owners its upto you to make the decisions. But every month i get my pay packet so i am not going to tell them.
Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

What recession? I'm as skint as I was this time last year before all this scaremongering started (yeah I'm blaming it on all those t**ts
that kept telling us a recession is coming)
Funny enough though I go on holiday for a week next week and then I walk into a new job. Security doesn't pay amazingly but at least you
can't be made redundant

If I was an unemployed engineer right now I'd be looking quite seriously at moving into the rail industry as it has quite a lot of investment
secured over the next few years.

Well that's rail and windfarms.. Wonder where all the adverts are like those "train to be a plumber, cos we need 30 million plumbers by
2011!" are going to?
