    I'm pleased to hear that he says it will pick up, he just didn't say when. Maybe he has the lottery numbers for tomorrow night as well.

    You could be waiting for months for that phone call, if it ever comes. I would be straight out trying to find work if necessary

    Good luck

    You and yours come first. Needs must. Start looking and putting feelers out for work.

    Start working for yourself, NOT for someone else.

    Anyone who is employed can be thrown away like a peice of rubbish at the drop of a hat, it happend to me, it happend to my dad.

    Don't spend your life making other people rich!

    As bathfix bob said, start working for yourself, see if any help available from job centre, if work picks up from the old boss, you could always subby to him
