Mal spent most of the day designing Ikimiz Restaurants new website. I seemed to spend the entire day hunting bargains online. see link I think I have said it before but it seems as though times are getting tough in the UK the number of deals I found.  I did manage to buy a November birthday present and get all my November and December birthday cards done online at half price. It would have been even better if I hadn’t already done the beginning of November ones at full price! That will teach me to do things too far in advance! There are so many hotel deals throughout England and cheap meal out deals.

I heard from Torin. Having travelled all over the world for 7 years for his company they met him a while back to say that redundancy was on the cards. Today they TEXT him to tell him his job had been made redundant. This was then followed by a meeting with his boss in London. They want their pound of flesh before they make him redundant, with a trip to Romania next week, shortly followed by a trip to South Africa.  Of course he is devastated after giving his all to the job.  I guess that is the way of the world we live in at the moment, no such thing as rewarding loyal employees.
