with great thanks to cybermonkey, ive re-written my cv as i need to start applying for a new job (facing the sack pretty much).
all i need now is to write a covering letter to go with it. i was wondering if anyone knew of any online template things i can use to help me?
many thanks, mr barnes, ceo team muppetsport enterprises

it all comes down basically to when i was off work in feb this year with a slipped disc in my back. i got a written warning as i didnt phone work to tell them i wasnt coming in, even though the doctors note i gave them 1 week earlierl was for 2 weeks. something in the contract says you must inform on a week to week basis. so, as you can imagine, in 9 months since, ive been off ill once and late once, which has meant i go to a final written warning. i slept in this morning, and im still at home as i know what would happen was i to go in to work. id just be coming straight home, and sitting here doing what im doing now. applying for jobs

can see it now
i mr muppet, beleive my herb rolling skills would be of benefit to you, becuase if you dont employ me, i will get my dealer to come to your house and set it on fire, as without your job, he will lose money, and when he loses money he cant afford to pay for his whores.
sincerely yours, mr muppet
