    Having been "let go" early September the last 7 weeks haven't been the best for me.
    The new job is a total career change for me, I'll be working at Bunnings (hopefully in the tool shop). It's not rocket science and it's not what I'm used to, but it's a job.

    Funny thing , I've probably done less turning in the last 7 weeks than usual, didn't sit well with me enjoying my hobby while my wife was working her a!#e off to cover the shortfall in wages.

    But now that I've got a job lookout.

    Thanks for the well wishes guys.

    Not someone who might know something? (So which one. I'll come to visit. ) ( I know they are strict with who gets staff discount so I won't even ask.)

    Well done grumpy.
