The Week Gets Betterer And Betterer.

[Theland]

Youngest son who lives with us just got the sack from this supermarket job :-(
My mobility scooter went in for repair,going to cost £283. Ready next week :-(
Any more for any more?

[bobbinwales]

Sacked on what grounds Theland? Conduct or no longer needed?

[Theland]

Stacker truck driver. Put one pallet on top of another, normal practice, and it sagged. He didn't notice. It fell. Com!d have hurt somebody. Que Sera. Merry Xmas. Gross misconduct negligence.

[jno]

sorry to hear that, Theland. Was he a kid shelf-stacker or a manager? Not the time of year for news like that, whatever.

If it were true that things come in threes, a sinkhole would open and swallow up your house. Good news: it isn't true.

[jno]

hm. Why did it sag if it doesn't normally? Is he sure it was all his fault? Was he properly trained for all this?

[eve1974]

Ah that is bad for your son ... and for ur mobility scooter

[Theland]

Hes 26, immaculate record. Always getting praise.
But, H & S, so important, compromise.

[Theland]

Bottom pallet probably weak.

[jourdain2]

Believe it or not, Theland, I am hearing worse - difficult though it is to comprehend. Very complicated to explain.

[tonyav]

He'll get another job, Theland. Warehouses and distribution centres are crying out for FLT drivers especially this time of the year.
What went wrong with your mobility scooter ?

[Theland]

He was trained by the supermarket, not a transferrable license.
But thank God that is all. A third one, a near miss, my thirteen year old granddaughter tried to commit suicide. Paracetamol.
Her friends Rand my daughter to tell her to check on Maisie.
Ambulance, two nights in hospital, psyche involved.
But she is alive and home.
It gets betterer and betterer.
God give me strength.

I hope you're not going to struggle to pay for the scooter?

[anneasquith]

T. I’m so sorry you and your family are having such a bad time . Re your mobility scooter might you contact social work department and ask for an assessment of your circumstances ?

[Mamyalynne]

Oh Theland, so sorry to read of your family's troubles - best wishes to all and I hope your Granddaughter gets all the help she needs.

[choux]

That is so very sad, Theland. I will remember your granddaughter in my prayers.

[Theland]

I've got the money, although it will clean me out.
My needs are always met.
No Turkey this year, but who cares?

[choux]

You will get the strength, Theland.

[pastafreak]

Hoping you can turn a corner and have some better luck. It's got to happen.

[Theland]

My sister, her husband and daughter have stepped in to help me out and given me £300 to pay fl my scooter, God bless them :-)
My granddaughter has had her first meeting with CAMS, and is being closely monitored.
Thank God again.
There are folk on here that are suffering terrible!e illnesses and traumatic experiences, and I salute them all for their bravery.

One to go mate. They come in threes!

[waterboatman]

In all seriousness, it's good to see something going your way mate.
