Congratulations on the new job, Carl! I knew that if you just kept your chin up and tried to keep a good attitude about things that things would work out for you.

I've been unemployed several times myself, and it's always stressful... and I didn't have a family to worry about supporting either.

I had to take a job with riubbish hours, not vey good pay and practically no prospects to pay the bills. i appreciate i was lucky to fall in to work straight from my other role, but it has been far from ideal.

However MAB and its members have been a massive help for me, endless support from the members and something for me to look forward to each day. It has kept me motivated in the gym, when i could easily have just packed it in and felt sorry for myself if i didnt feel accountable to the guys (and girls) here and my training log.

Seriously, I could have gone down a dark path had it not been for everyone here.

I have just been offered a new job, excellent hours, good prospects and pay is alright and I feel without the support of you all egging me on and encouraging me to not give up, it may never have happened.

So thanks.

Carl.

Well done mate! Lost 75% of my income last month when my biggest client left. Slowly recovering, a bit annoyed I am scrounging in the writing bin again but it's ok.
Good for you though

Glad things are looking up for you Carl. And I'm equally as glad that you were able to put your head down and push through the hard times. Good for you. You should be proud of yourself for staying strong and perservering.
