    They may have 'forgot' to update the website, the law changed in 2006 or 2007, if I remember correctly.

    4 weeks: full pay (including SMP)
    2 weeks: 90% pay (including SMP)
    12 weeks: 50% pay plus flat rate SMP
    21 weeks: Flat rate SMP
    13 weeks: unpaid

    Well thats better than I thought....although the including SMP bit means that my employer are just topping up does it not and not that I'm getting SMP on top! Just checking I have it right in my head. But I imagine you get tax credits etc when your just on flat rate SMP do you? I've clearly never had a child...:rotfl:

    Well looks like I'm going for the fairfield because they'll let me pay a £40 deposit so I don't have to pay it all up front...works out well with the added DIY costs we've encountered. However, I'm now torn between these rooms (prices per night):

    Deluxe room with sleigh bed and en suite with two-person deep fill air-spa bath and two person massage shower, at £98.
    Deluxe room with four-poster bed and en suite chroma-therapy whirlpool bath with twin-head shower, at £98.
    Deluxe roofspace penthouse with super-king bed, air spa bath in the room, glass two-person digital shower with views, two TV’s, DVD with surround sound and computerised scene lighting, at £120.

    Votes again please! I'll have the champers on ice and rose petals on the bed and all that guff (dead romantic me) for when we get there too.

    Just had a thought..can you not find the hotel through cashback sites and book it that way then add the extras later?!!?!:confused:

    I'd go with either of the £98 rooms personally, they still sound great and you save a bit of money to put toward a meal out or something?
    Happy choosing x
