Glam - I would think your AL should be calculated pro-rata until the date you formally change employers. I know it's not the answer you want, but that seems fair!

Yeah I know it's fair but not what I wanted to hear! By the time I go off I will have been entitled to 10.5 days but have taken 11 days as I carried some hols over which I took in June. I don't think they'll worry about the half day though

Just popping in with some info
We think Lu is having/had baby - she had a sweep and twinges a few days ago then dissapeared

Is it wrong for me to hope she's had it as I'm convinced I'm not going anywhere until I'm top of the list

SugarSpun

Oh, I thought those 19 days were already accrued, Glam. In that case you're out of luck!

Tink, I want you and Lu T out of my way!!!

Forgot to say re the freecycle thing I was fed up of getting rude, give it to me now, phone me etc replies so I offer everything now on a fair offer policy and I choose the nicest e-mail i.e. people who say please and thank you!

Vic - Congrats on getting through it, be warned it'll start to go very quickly from now on For my budget I used this smp calculator (as posted by Glam) to work out what I would be paid each month. Just deducted my usual monthly bills, worked out what one off big bills I had to come and saw that it would be tight but do-able ETA - I haven't factored in any working family tax credit thingys, cos that really confuses me...I'll sort that affter baby get here, but for now my budget is worst case scenario.

Sami - thanks for the updates.

MM - I still don't feel like bubba is anywhere close to making a move for the outside world, 3 weeks left, I have the rest of this week and another full week in work. Everything ready, so we'll just have to see.

Glam - maybe ACAs would be the best bet - they would give you the official line for each employer

I tried to log onto freecycle but it took so bl00dy long to get the yahoo password through and then get approved I gave up!

I think I've forgotten the password and login now!

NMS - my budget will also be tight but do-able.
With this GD I'm getting used to not having luxuries so won't miss them when baby comes along!

MIL tends to stock us up with goodies when she comes up :rolleyes:
OH made his way through half a Victoria Sponge last night - he felt bad after I pointed out that I couldn't have it due to the 17.6g sugar per 100g of cake! He probably had a sugar overload though as he had it WITH ice-cream! Pig!!!

SS that's my policy too - I don't need a back story, just a polite request, which isn;t too much to ask!! Once I was offered something and then the offer withdrawn because they'd found a 'more worthy recipient' - it made me really cross cos how can they judge who's most 'worthy' - ppl just spin a yarn about dead dogs and aging grandmothers. I tend to just be polite and friendly and straightforward.

yes he did and made lots of groaning noises so I told him all that sugar was really bad for him so he felt a bit sick afterwards :rotfl:
