I have been lucky and it hasnt effected me at all, i work offshore and it is normally relly lean over the winter time when you are day rating but i have been at work sonce the 2nd of december and wont be home till 10th of feb. I have only had 4 weeks off since the end of august and the bank balance is going up rapidly but i am working more than i usually would just incase things dry up but aparently 2010 is going to be busy.

The thing with the recession is if you are in a good possition work wise and have work for the forseable future you are laughting and can take advantage of the situation and all those people who thought they could live like rock stars over the past few years when the house prices went throught the roof, me mother works in the halifax and she says everyday is a constant flow of people comign in saying they cant pay there mortgage which i good news for me as i will be looking to buy a property in the next year depending on how house prices go.
