By the way, it sounds like your employers could do with a few lessons in employment law, starting with a little thing called constructive dismissal.
Ha Ha sorry i thought you got the impression Co-Op actually cared about the law!!
District managers and their lap dogs, sorry Area managers, feel they are above the law! so nothing changes!

Apart from missing my family I haven't regretted a moment of it and no-one would ever guess I had ever suffered from depression as it really was a life-changing decision.

I wish you the very best of luck for the future.

Thanks hun, deep down i feel a lot more hopeful about doing this....

My SiL's engagement ring was from where we are going, they got a 1carat ring for £1000 got it valued over here and its worth £4500!!!!

I do feel a bit better, its like i can see light and the end of the tunnel,

Its just the palava of getting everything sorted!!

Good luck with your venture into becoming self employed.

Just remember that all those 8-6 working hours stop, because you will also have to find the time to do your accounts and ordering etc in the evenings, but that said I could never work for anyone.

Have you and Lisa thought about taking your boss to an employment tribunal because bullying and harassment of any kind should not be tolerated in the workplace.

Have a look at the following web page, it might give you a lot of help.

Good luck for the future.

Im aware of the extra working hours, but im fine with that! coz it would be all mine (barring the inevitable slice from mr tax man!! )

I am awaiting a "mediation" with HR and my bosses but have delayed it till next month as im just not upto facing them yet... i spoke to lisa and told her to come in with me on it and to call the woman who has been dealing with my case so they can really see whats happening!
