    Re the money. They have me by the short and curlys because they wont admit to overpaying me......they just said 'we will do some calculations and send you a cheque next week...........so by the time I will have gotten some money (which I think will be just SSP) they will have already have deducted what they overpaid from holiday pay and travelling expenses!

    But when a person has DDs etc that will go out (unless your bak is uber controlling ...it's not on to leave employees in the s**t.

    I have (unfortunately a vague) recollection about an icident like this and I think they must
    a) reimburse you re bank (bloody hell I just typed that woothout the letters b a n k (see earlier post about state I'm in (chortle))) charges IE if they c**k up your pay it's their fault.

    s*d it have seen typos but...

    b) not leave you in hardship. Me- I'd contact CAB, sharpish! and your union


    Hic Lots and lots os love I bl****y love you (hic)

    Awh bless you, what a kind thing to say. Unfortunately both sad situations continue and will do for some time. My BIL is now getting support from Crisis Mental Health team, who, he feels, are really listening to him and taking his fears seriously. My dear friends' sister is not going to get better. All efforts are now palliative. My friend is holding entire extended family together and I am just helping her stick some plasters on herself for now

    Re the money. They have me by the short and curlys because they wont admit to overpaying me......they just said 'we will do some calculations and send you a cheque next week...........so by the time I will have gotten some money (which I think will be just SSP) they will have already have deducted what they overpaid from holiday pay and travelling expenses!

    OOH RMC What a hard time for you - I am pleased these people are making contact with your BIL and he feels they are responding to him and not dismissing it - thats a great first step - hope it continues - its a hard raod for your sister.
    Your poor friend - I feel for her and for you because I am sure sometimes you feel you need to do more - but belive me just having you to talk to is a huge help. I hope your friends sister is getting good care and not suffering.
    My thoughts and prayers will be with you all. (((())))

    What a bummer!! Still think its worth asking the Union if they can help if only to raise it as an issue of bad HR/staff relations!!!!!

  • well ladies - I have been avoiding the forum today until I had done something so i didnt have to feel guilty!

    My dad is round tomorrow about midday so have the morning to put finishing touches to the work this week. Also OH is off so he can choose one area and work on that (he can't handle lots of different tasks so he gets one area and does it)

    Thanks for the inspiration and support and I'll be back again next week x
    I miss using my infinite coupons at Tesco!
    2010 was the worst year ever :(
    But 2011 so far has been a lot of fun! :j

    Man - inability to multitask - sounds about right! My (ex) couldn't manage being a husband AND a father!
