Right theory wrong dates Moo2moo! Its September 2011 worst case, best case is March 2012 but yeah you are totally right, if I can hang on until March I should be ok, if I have to go in Sept this year I am screwed!!!

I was looking into Maternity pay if you are made redundant whilst pregnant and I think I should be entitled to maternity allowance which is £128 a week. The timing of all this is crucial yet is the one thing I have no control over, TYPICAL!!!

Feeling quite positive at the minute. Been looking through the job sites and seeing whats about and there seems to be a couple of roles I could do, part time and a better salary than I currently get! Theres a few really interesting ones that are full time, good salarys and in my home town.

I know looking at a job and getting a job are 2 totally different things but still feeling quite cheery. SAHM is still in the mix too.

So much going on!! Hope it all works out ok as im sure it will. And good luck for no2 Babies are great!
I want to go to disneyland paris dec 2012 - I will be 30 and also think the kids might be a bit better being a bit older - need to look into it more and maybe start saving for it now though as even just for our passports will cost a fortune!!! Bet you cant wait to go!!

Thats one place I would love to go back to, I went back in 1998, just a day trip, but it was great.
I'd get your passports sorted - think there about £42ish quid... I know with kids they do 5 yrs, but renew the next 5 yrs for free, (reminds me Ineed to check Miss Hoodie),

Helloooooo everyone,

Hows your weekend going? We had a lovely day out yesterday as the Police HQ had an open day. Pip got to sit in Police cars, on motorbikes, meet policemen and police dogs. He had a blast and it didn't cost us a bean! :j

I got a free minute at work to check my payslip from 15th and realised they have not been paying me for my extra hours! Apparently I was inputting it wrong but anyway its all sorted now and next month I will have an extra £500!! :T More good news is that my bosses boss has overidden my boss and said that he will pay me for my travel time to the new site as it is not yet a Compulsory Travel, so now I will be being paid for the equivelant of a 6 day week:money:
Had a chat with him about my leave date and whilst he couldn't guarantee it he was fairly sure I would be there until at least the end of November as there is Training all the way through till then. This means I can continue getting my travel and petrol money until then and also my actual redundancy amount will go up a little as the calculation was based on a leave date of 1st Sept.

I was wondering if it is worth trying to get my larger debts to accept a reduced rate payment as a full and final once I have my redundancy money. What do you all think???

TTFN x x x

hi, getting your travelling money is really good and will help you get set for apres redundancy. glad you noticed that you weren't getting paid the extra hours before it was too late.
Yay to having fun at your Police HQ, their family days are great. Wish i had fun each day that i go to ours

They actually haven't been paying me since May!!! Our company does a stupid 2 weeks in advance and 2 weeks behind thing with payroll so in June I just presumed I had missed the cut off. In Julys pay I had my bonus so the amount was higher anyway and I only just checked payslip online, good job I did!

You mean its not always facepainting and bouncy castles at the Police station LT????:rotfl::rotfl:
