My week shop just came to £29!!!!!!

Still in shock at my shopping bill! I didnt need nappies, cleaners, toiletries or meat this week so that made a huge difference. I made a full list before I left and apart from a couple of bits stuck to it.

My cheapy tea today is one of those shakey bags, the cheapy one not the expensive one! Its got 2 chicken breasts in it and a £1 roasting veg pack, and I am serving it with a 55p savoury rice. So I estimate tea to have cost £3.34 today.

sounds like you're doing brilliantly with the cheapy teas and they sound hearty and healthy as well. well done for getting the insurance sorted. well done to Mr Pip on getting a new job.

Found out the new working patterns for if I move to the other site, ooooooooh Pip is moaning so I will have to post later BRB!

Pips_Mum

Right Im back so yeah shifts. Found out that they have put yet another hoop for us to jump through. If I go over to the other site I have to do shifts, shifts rotating around a 24hr scale so basically I could end up working nights and then have to drive for an hour home. The patterns are awful, 1 week (I use the term week loosely as you will find out) you work 9 earlies have 2 days off then work go straight into 6 nights. The new system means you put in your requests for hours eg, a days holiday, no weekends, earlies, lates, days, whatever and it calcuates it against everybody elses requests and generates a rota for the month for you. I really don't want to have to work weekends as I will hardly see Pip or OH at all.

The other thing they want us to do is annualised working which means in the quieter summer months we work 30 hours a week but in the busier winter months we have to work 44!!!

I am so annoyed that they keep moving the goalposts. I have to do my "aspirations" (what a lame choice of word from them) next week so I still think I am going to put redundancy as my 1st choice.
