40,000 people might loose their jobs

"Lloyds TSB is taking over HBOS".
That was the main focus of the news this morning as I perused a copy of Metro on my way to work. I was shocked.
What is going on? What is happening to our economy, Are we all gonna suffer for this?
These were a few of the numerous questions I asked myself as I sat reading my copy of the Metro newspaper on the train. The most painful aspect of this news is the large number of people that might loose their jobs.
About 40,000 jobs might be on the line the newspaper reported. I can only imagine what thoughts will be running through the minds of all HBOS's employees.

Would I be affected? No,I am too important to the company.

What if I am sacked, where would I start from?

What would be the criteria for sacking us?

Jeez, I might not have a job again in the next few days!

I would have been asking myself these questions as well.Why, you might ask. Well, just a couple of weeks ago, I was working at HBOS. Thankfully, I am no longer there but I do feel the pain of every worried employee. It is not the best position to be in at this point in time. A time of financail crisis.Everything seems to be going up in price and it's a matter of concern for everyone and I mean everyone.

As I reflected on these, I suddenly realised that there is another set of people who might also be worried sick. You might wonder who but they are the customers.

Minds would be racing,calculating,scheming and thinking of the next move, the next line of action.

Should I cash in my investments?

Should I change my mortgage provider?

Am I covered just in case any unforseen problem arises?

These and many more questions would be racing through customer's minds at this present moment but as I sat there reading every single word and trying to digest it, I realized that they probably need not worry.

This is a trying time for the economy and I would say from my own perspective that its a time to be much more closer to God. I need him and you need him as well.We all need him.

To everybody worried at this moment in time, I would say hope for the best but above all trust in God to do the best for you.

Feel free to voice your opinion about this issue and as it is a pending and pressing one, I would soon be back with another post regarding the financial world,the credit crunch which is about to envelope us all and the effect it might have on us all.

Finally, or should I say welcome

I was sat at my desk,right in front of my PC,typing frantically away.
I paused,taking everything in.
I had just come up with a money making idea a couple of weeks back and now things are going so fast I dont even know what to do. The cash was rolling in. Jeez!!! I was in money, enough to spend for a life time. I smiled,pleased with myself.
I got up to loosen up my overworked mucles. The stress of the past week was beginning to take its toll. I went into the kitchen, put a slice of bread in the toaster and made myself a cup of tea which I took back to my desk.
The smile still on my face, i decided to lazy about a bit but a quick glance at my to do list sent me straight back to work.
PHEW!!! Is this how stressful making money is?
I heard the toaster pop my bread out and as I stood up to go get it, a loud angry voice said "wake up, you lazy git"

I opened my eyes and I was on my bed.
What!!!
....and then it all came back to be. I was tossing in bed,restless, unable to sleep.
I have been speaking with a friend the previous day as to what to make out of my everyday life and he said to me "think,I know you can do it". I went away,loads of ideas in my head and I must have fallen asleep eventually.

One thing I know though,I have woken up a new person and I have finally decided that
I was gonna have a blog.

Awwhhh.....finally....I did it.
So, officially I say welcome to DAMSEL'S VILLA, a place that brings out the best in you.
