Good luck to Lizzie, hope she has an awesome time :)
So sorry to hear about nick's job, I was thinking when I heard the news that there was someone I knew of who worked for them. Internet shopping is both a blessing and a curse.Hopefully something else will come up soon *crosses fingers*

Thanks, yeah I hope so - spoke to him earlier and there are a couple of things in the pipeline. Thing is they ARE planning on coming back to the Midlands mid July anyway, so it isn't SO bad, it would just have been nice if he'd not had to job hunt for a three month job. I feel REALLY sorry for his team though, they were a good bunch.

Yeah it's a bad time. I hope your friends are all OK and wish them luck :)

Oh HELL :/ He really liked it too, didn't he? I'm SO sorry! Anything on the horizon?

Hope Lizzie has a good time!

Yep, trust Nick to bounce back - the whole thing sucks though, the
shop was SUCH a good team, apparently the area manager was gutted to
have to close it, but they are ONLY interested in money. Not
expertise. Or good will. Or people's jobs. Even worse, the
*********'s RBS who wouldn't lend GAME the money to keep going till
they found a buyer, are now, guess what, looking at buying the
remnants. BECAUSE IT'S CHEAP.

Anyway, yes, he has a job lined up at the Co-op for a few months till
they move back up here, via the fiance of the girl Liz car-shares with in Exeter, who's the manager - same contract or as good as, same hours, similar money :)

And yes, Lizzie's already having an AMAZING time! I'll link you to
her blog: http://lizziehenderson.blogspot.co.uk/ they have to keep
this as part of their actual degree work write-up.
