My daughters boyfriend is now on a 3 day week.

My hubbys business went through a year of tough times and after 30 years of trading, they were discussing redundancies for the first time ever.
They have turned the corner, and now making profit again now though.

In my business, I can not find any more work, as others will do my type of work cheaper.
I do feel fairly safe and secure though, as I provide a better service, even though I charge a higher price!

Do you worry about your job/work security, or just get on with it, and take each day as it comes?
My husband was made redundant three summers in a row..the last time was nearly two years ago so I can only say that the recession has been a long time coming...At least this last time he got a much better job with a civil service pension and more job security.
