    :grouphug: Have a dodgy hug from me !!!

    Sounds like your having a ruff time. Do you belong to a union that you could talk to?
    Hugs anyway as I don't know what else to say:o

    How long do you have left before Mat leave? Your boss may not want to buy a chair if it is for only a couple of months?? (even though it is the law that you are comfortable in work !!)
    Put in writing that you have formally requested your risk assesment and keep copies of everything that you ask them for, just incase ....

    no union, and i've been slowly watching them do this to a number of other people in the company so i know the signs....
    I just don't need this right now....
    If I were you I'd get signed up to a union tonight and book an app to speak to local CAB for advice ASAP


    oh don't start talking about the parent thread! I've been not getting involved and doing my best to get them off topic but then someone comes and says I wasn't going to comment but...

    i had initially planned to leave 2 weeks before my due date and take 2 weeks holiday before that, but to be honest I spend all day in a mess and panicking every time my boss comes towards my office convinced that it's all over...
    right now i can't even face going in tomorrow, the thought of it just makes me want to curl up and cry...
    Could you survive on sick pay? I'm pretty sure if you went to ur GP and explained all this they would have you signed off in a flash
    Also have you got insurance things in place in case they do get rid of you (sorry I don't like saying that but can't think if the words)

    Evening ladies, not gonna go back through 4 days so if anything mega important has happened would be very grateful if someone could tell me. Sorry to be so lazy but I'm knackered. Have been on for a little bit though and had a look for feelie, so huge CONGRATULATIONS!

    Hope everyone had a good weekend. X
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p
  • Hypno, that sounds far too much of a stressful workplace and you have to think of you and baby. Lots of hugs.

    Sami - to be honest me and OH have just been talking about me seeing the GP, i'll have 9 weeks on full pay and 8 weeks on 75% so that'd take me to Mat Leave but i don't like the thought of doing it, I feel like the worst kind of sponger, it's not what i want, i just want to be able to do my job but i pretty much know that the signs are there that i won't have one for long if I keep trying to work....
    I know you have that loyalty and hardworker feeling BUT they aren't exactly helping themselves and frankly these days loyalty buys you nothing also you are in a better position if they wrongfully dismiss you as they can't really sack you will ur off sick... Sometimes you've just got to be 'selfish' you and ur family are the most important thing in this equation ;)

    I don't thin there has been any big developments apart from feelie's bubba arriving unless you've been away long enough to miss AM and sls giving birth too?

    Hi all.. I've just had a read through and will prob drop back in before bedtime. Hope everyone is okay - hugs to all xx

    I'm at my parents' house. We've just had tea and OH is now in the kitchen doing the washing up and making a cuppa - love him!

    We called in home earlier and our bathroom has gone! I left at 8am and by the time Mum got there at 9.30am, there was no fixtures, fittings, bath or sink and by lunchtime there was no toilet, tiles, floor or ceiling! :eek: It looks tiny tiny tiny without anything in there now and the new bath (which is currently sat in my living room) looks HUGE!!

    searching, I live in Grimsby! (nothing to boast about, but it's right near Cleethorpes ;))

    TTFN xx
