Has Anyone Ever Been In My Situation? If So Did I Get Resolved

[abbeylee90]

So I'm in a really bad place as I'm in an underpaid job that I don't like, no house, no car or partner. I never had enough money either even though I got a good socail life but I just feel like I'm worth nothing 

[Redhelen72]

It will be 1 or 2 days at the most! It cannot possibly be more based on 18 hours a week and all the leave you have already taken.

it really is time you sat down with your parents and asked their advice 

[jourdain2]

Words fail me Abbey, sorry. I don't know who this 'friend' is but the advice is so bad that I can't believe you would accept it or he/she offer it.

[jourdain2]

^^6 Like Redhelen talk to your parents.  They are the ones most vested in you and they are the  ones needing you to  pay your share.

From where?? 

How...no company or employers give a months holiday so soon. In fact, a month total is about all any one gets and that needs to be earned via time worked. I don't get it.

[Redhelen72]

I get 31 days holiday and it has taken me 20 years of full time hours to get that. 
I also get extra times of for the extra 7 years served

[abbeylee90]

I work 20 hours per week and it right. Because selco offers more progression and it full time.

[Neveracrossword]

Here's hoping you can do the Selco job and can cope with the hours- you've been part-time for so long now. Still, maybe the thought of a full-time wage will be enough to make you determined this time. 

[Redhelen72]

Nobody is disputing Selco it's the claim that you have a months holiday due that's being disputed 

[scorpiojo]

But you don't work 20 hours a week. Deduct the breaks you get, and remember, you're only being paid @ £150 per week.

[abbeylee90]

So what do I do it a trial so it either pack in my current job or take holiday.

[RandyMarsh]

maybe just focus on sorting one thing on your list out.  They are sorta linked - get job with more money - save for a house. It is ok to tread water for a while, not every second of your life needs to be in the pursuit of noble goals.

Abbey, if they ask at Selco, 'Have you done this before, do you know how to do this?' Be honest with them and so 'No, but I'm willing to learn'. Don't tell them any fibs or it might come back and bite you on the bum.

[Hazlinny]

I'm a bit confused Abbey - do you mean that you are planning to take some holiday so you can have a "trial run" at Selco?

[barry1010]

Yes, that's her dilemma.

[abbeylee90]

I only told them where I've worked in retail 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, if the trial run at Selco goes well, do you plan to give notice at the laundry - or will you just ... not return? 

[scorpiojo]

Haven't you told them where you are currently working?

[abbeylee90]

Yes they do and possibly I will. I'll have to as not going to get a car on part time

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, I don't really understand your last post. Who were you replying to? (PS You could always add the name at the beginning - sometimes you have quite a few questions and comments to respond to!)
