Job Dilemma...

[Adz]

I'll just have to see how much i can try & save to get a small cushion.
Just so glad that i don't own a house & all i have on paper is Dirty Frog
But i think option 3 is the most likely

[wildbri]

must be 3, I have never done a job I disliked except for my apprenticeship for which I was tied for five years, do some thing you like doing and maybe enjoy. You will earn less money but you will be happier and in a better frame of mind, If you are working at some thing you enjoy you will find that you look forward to your sandwich an apple and yoghurt for lunch and you will be healthier as well as saving money. I have never worked overtime either there is more to life than work, the more you earn the more you spend but not always on the right things.

why not cut your hours for a month or 2 and get re assessed with csa. its simples. that means the bitch gets less at least.

self employed is a no no . soon they are changing from 20% of net income to 14% off gross income.

adz you can buy anything you can buy in a garage at tesco. just take your own and keep outa the garages. simples


anyway your out goings are way too high to be doing 1 vallet a week, so re negotiate your outgoings.

work the system...

I cant do less hours as thats not how general haulage works otherwise i'd work 9 - 5

If you can contact & speak to the CSA then youve got further than me, my mum, my solicitor & my local MP.!

[extreme-4x4]

go down there if they wont speak to you. or stop paying and they will phone you very quickly

i like option 3 honest. BUT your outgoings are too high, rent ,fuel, tesco shopping,

so even if you loose the csa, and the service station lunches if you loose your job.... you still need big money to meet your commitments.


budget plans are what you need to be doing and fast if your thinking of a new lifestyle... its no good chucking your job in until you know AND ARE VERY SURE you can survive without it. hey come to wales i'll join you breaking trucks .

I'd go down there but it could be at Southampton, Wrexham or Newcastle as they keep moving my case
If my boss doesnt pay, he gets fined 2k

The £300 is my only commitment to me mum n dad but from the 11th October there'll both be ok as there'll both be retired & on pensions

hastings office will sort it for you.

I have worked in the Hasting CSA building (on their drains re smells in the offices) and have been there when staff talk to customers (you) on the phone and seen the looks on their faces, when clearly the person on the line is trying to describe the difficulty they are having, well I could have smacked em round the head for the smirks and inappropriate sign language that was being tossed from one operator to another, they were treating the whole thing as a laugh, addmitedly this was 4 or 5 years ago but I have chanced to work (privately) for several people who work there, and they are now off my customer list, their whole attitude is out of order, they tried to treat me as a nothing because they worked for the CSA , sorry if in future if their plumbing pisses water every where, I wont be going to sort it out, Rick

we have dealings with csa for our eldest daughter we havnt recived a payment from them since on and off since 2005 and to be fair we never got all the money that was paid to them more like half tbh he was supposed to pay £65 and we got about £38 out of it

my advise would be to cut dealings with the csa and go a different route via direct bank transfers (so their is a paper trail) that means you are not lining their pockets to ignore you although we never really had much trouble with them when their has been a need to call, i think if you have the children you can opt to sort the childrens needs out and deduct it from the payment

i would opt for option 3 long term would be better on you

[briggie]

gotta be option 1 , but look for another job or opportunity while still working , at least you have a guaranteed income while searching

[Adz]

Well I'm defiantly gonna jack in Just got to choose the right time
