    what a bu99er, don't be surprised if they tell you it's not their responsibility for letting the payment continue to go out of your account. it's annoying when they send letters for silly things but not for the things which really make some difference.

    i second the request above, please take care of yourself, you can't do it all yourself and you need to realise this.

    I guess, I just wish that I could bring my little bump into a world where she wont want for nothing and I can think about maternity pay as an added bonus instead of a burden amount!

    But ill use this week to rest, recharge and be back on form for me and bump :)

    I am officially sad! lol
    I have spent my morning making a spreadsheet system that even Billy can add to!
    I taught myself how to do formulas ect - very exciting lol - and even added a welcome to Billy and Carlas budget 2009 with a big picture of me and Billy taken last summer!

    See this is what happens when you are signed off work!

    that is not sad! if it was then myself and hundreds of other DFW's would be sad as well.
    Can't say i've got a photo on mine though, but then as i do them for a living i get stuck in a photoless rutt.

    well done for getting the hang of spreadsheets, sounds like you're professional now.

    Lol the photo just made it seem less of a scary looking thing.... trying to get DF to use it more so hopefully seeing something he knows will help lol

    Ive never "got" spreadsheets before... even at school I never grasped it and I feel like something has just clicked in my brain this morning, Ive even emailed my dad a copy - he is the computer wizz in our family - to show him cause I'm so proud.... and he knows how much I hated Excel at school! lol

    Hi!

    Just thought I would write and say I love the idea of having a photo on your spreadsheet!! I can see it would make it look more friendly!!

    Hope you, DF and bump are all well?
