Srry for the delay everyone in replying.
A very big thanks to the replies, humbling it is to be unemployed after yrs of graft I admit, but this thing happens to many peeps daily, even on here you fellow members have experienced it and got through it will I.
I decided at the last minute to treat me and the dark lady to a little break.
We took off to the Lakes to let our hair down (i borrowed a wig from a local shop) and just relax.
Going to sign with an agency tomorrow and do some job hunting so lets see how it goes. I can stay out of work for a while if I like but I'm getting fidgety already. Ants in the pants syndrome.
Right, I'm off to the pub for a sunday lunch beer, not done this nor really had the chance for over 10yrs with my lifelong mate, and I cannot wait.
