I was made redundant in December but made to work my 3 month notice period. During that time the company I was working for was taken over by another company in the group who moved into our offices. At the end of the notice period I was asked to stay on a further 3 month short-term contract (at a reduced salary). That contract ran out last week and despite being assured that I'll get a full-time contract, nothing has appeared in writing. So I really don't know whether I'm actually employed or not at the moment. Interesting times!
