Our adult son just turned 40 and was out of work for a year two years ago due needing treatment for clinical depression. He is feeling so disheartened because he feels he had a wonderful education (he did) and many advantages (he did) but he became a teacher out of university, then decided he didn’t like it, couldn’t find anything he did like, until eight months ago, and has now lost that job because of Covid. Any of you out there whose ACs have similar situations? He’s beating himself up about his “choices”
and his not achieving his potential but there’s no way that anyone could have predicted this mess!

My DD had totally different weddings and both were perfect. OHs niece had an open air wedding based on a country fayre. It’s amazing what a bit of imagination can do.

Hopefully it won’t have to be a masqued affair.

Ha, ha! I was winding her up earlier as to whether or not she was going to put facemasks compulsory on the invites! Bt awkward when it comes to toasting the B&G and trying to eat!

My DS has been made redundant. He was the director in a branch of a large company so obviously they have saved more money by making the highest paid redundant. He has arranged mortgage and car loan holidays and job seekers allowance.

Lost half of my post!
It has helped to know that he is not the only one in this position. I wish the best of luck to all those looking for a job. Thankyou all for sharing.

Thank you @Ailsa - apparently it could take some time for her to even get in touch with them at all!! The one thing I am doing is paying my mortgage, that isn't an issue, but it runs out in 7 years and there is £60k not covered which is why I have been trying to get them to do something like extend the term etc, amalgamate it or offer me some hope of being able to go out of my own home in my box! Even the Equity Release people, 2 of them who are trying to sell me a product have said don't do it!! lol So stuck between a rock and a hard place with nowhere to turn .....
