Ahh 4get, did that one aswell, both me and my OH got made redunadnt earlier this year, him end of May, me end of June! We both worked for First Quench/Threshers head office, and it went under and we both lost our jobs. But if Threshers hadn't gone under, I would not have been moved to his department and we certainly would not be where we are now!
My OH believes very much in fate and things will work out, and things for us have just fitted together so well, and now we are so looking forward to our first christmas together, and we get to have his kids with us, in our new flat! :-D
