When we got back from that I went down to my theatre (the West Cliff, Clacton-on-Sea - I am chairman of the board of trustees that runs the theatre for those who don't know) where I met Fairport Convention as they arrived to set up and do their sound test. I first saw Fairport back in September 1968 and they instantly became my favourite band (I was very into folk music) and have remained so to this day, so to actually have them at the West Cliff and to get to meet them after being a fan for 45 years...well, you can imagine how I felt!

I then settled down to watch the show with Linda (my wife), also a big fan. It was fantastic, lived up to all my expectations. But even better, during the performance they actually dedicated one of their songs to me as one of their longest standing fans and, unbeknown to me, they had signed a poster for me which they gave me after the show. What an evening!

It sounds like an amazing day. I didn't know you were chairman of the theatre - it must be a great job :D

ETA: Don't kids grow up fast! I remember you announcing Harry's birth six years ago. I don't know about you, but that makes me feel old! My niece will be 9 in August - I can't believe how fast she's grown up. I can't wait for her teenage years,

:D

It is. I love it! As if last night wasn't enough, tonight we have The Tremeloes, Herman's Hermits, Union Gap and The Ivy League in "The Sensational 60s". We have almost sold out. Just a handful of tickets left and I'm sure they'll go tonight. Then on Tuesday we have Rich Hall. If you're ever in Clacton.....

You're right there. I'm sure he was only born last week! Can't wait for her teenage years!? Are you a masochist or something? :D

:rotfl::rotfl: Oh dear oh dear, I ain't gonna live that one down any time soon!

Any one know how long it should take for a p45 to arrive, my ex employers still not sent it and said it will be a further two weeks. Considering I finished on the 11th feb surely they should have it for me by now. Just proving once again they are a shambles of an organisation.

It's really annoying me, got a job centre again later. Hoping it won't stop me signing in as I really am broke!!

An employer can issue it at any time, it's all done online then you get the copy printed out. It just depends when the employer wants to put the information in, print it out and post it. I work for a small business so I guess it's easier for our accountant to do it quickly than if we had 100 employees.

Another two weeks sounds a bit excessive. Ring them up every day, twice a day, and you'll get it within a week.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to keep hassling because they have had so much time to sort this, it's getting silly. The jo centre have said they will put my claim through without it but as soon as it arrives bring it in to them

Going for my first run tomorrow. See if my ribs can take it!!

If she's desperate for a teenager I can lend her one. I have a fourteen year old mad as a brush she can borrow if she wants. Just to make you all feel really old Marley was only 6 years old when I first joined here.

I spoke to our accountant at work, and she said a P45 can be issued within a couple of days. It will have to be done soon, as the employer will have to close your payroll

There messing me around!! I went to see solicitor yesterday so I should be starting an dismissal case against them.

I've got a massive competition with my band tomorrow so I am really looking forward to that,we have worked really really hard.

Good luck with the constructive dismissal case and all the best for the competition, Katy x

Thank you, I'll let you know how I get on.

We came 3rd!!!!!! Amazing day with the band, had such a great time.

Fabby news Katy

Congratulations :D

Thanks guys!!! It was awesome I still can't stop smiling, have been suffering today from all the celebrating though!! It was most definitely worth it.

Was my best area to date by far and I've done quite a few.

My niece runs a Karate club in Norway where she is living now and she assists in the one she setup in Ireland. The 2 club (roughly about 15 people) won 26 trophies at the euro championships in Malta, 5 of them Gold, the rest silver. That is a fantastic achievement (and she turn 25 on the day they won)

Well done to your niece!!!

What an achievement that's great news.

What an achievement that's great News.

had a job interview this morning. Ive got one tomorrow n one on thursday. Fingers crossed.

The job rejections just keep on coming! :(

Am not getting to down though, having some serious thinking time and reassessing my options. The thought or working back in the legal field after what they have done to me is just not appealing at the moment. I need to seriously think about what I want to do. I think I need a break so just going to try and get work anywhere away from law and see what happens.

My first experience with ambulance service in Spain .. I slipped and fell with my leg left pulling forward, must have torn muscle, I am in tears, agony and screaming with pain ... waiting for friend to come look after my totally bewildered puppies who are wondering what is wrong with me and ambulance as I need to be stretchered ... the slightest move is agony

Oh sweetheart,,, please keep us posted, it must be horrible being away from home and in another country,,, do U speak Spanish at all ??? do they speak English ??? Feel better soon sweetheart....

Oh you poor thing. Hope you haven't done too much damage. Get well soon.xx

What a fantastic service, I am ashamed that I probably would not have got this treatment in UK ... ambulance here within 10 minutes, 2 crew, 2 doctors, one that spoke a little English. Looks like I tore a fibre in the muscle of the back thigh, got 2 injections, feel now as if I had a bottle of vodka but pain has eased so much. If pain gets worse, I have to go to hospital around 30 miles away, if not, medical centre tomorrow for check-up. Thank you Spanish medical services for great service!!!

Glad to here you got such good treatment. Hope you arent in too much pain. When the injections wear off try the vodka :)

I'm pleased to hear you're feeling better, Perdy :)

Hope the puppies have recovered too!
