Thanks! They have told me they processed my pay too late - so I will be paid a week late again... I think I am going to push for weekly pay as this is beyond a joke!

Still stranded. Am (hopefully) on a flight out of Brussels Charleroi tonight to Dublin. Have had to get my parents to pack my bags to bring back to Dublin.
Breathing no longer working - very stressed. Eurostar don't care less and have given us no extra options to get home. My parents are now stranded in the UK and their flight has been delayed for 6 hours. :mad::mad::mad:Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Hiya ladies!
Been absent due to entertaining my dad this week. He had trouble getting here and going back. His flight was due to leave 6am today so we had to get up at 3. Well, we were supposed to, but been really tired and suffering from cold so put alarm on for 3pm rather than 3am...:o Thankfully my dad woke up at half past and we got to the airport in plenty of time. Don't know why didn't bother mentioning at the check-in that the flights were delayed,lots of problems at Amsterdam airport. Anyway, so they tried to get my dad on a flight from Cardiff to Birmingham to Paris to Helsinki, but thankfully second leg was fully booked and he didn't have to do that. It was -20C at Paris this morning so he might of been stranded there. Instead, he managed to get the airline to pay his taxi to Heathrow to take a straight flight to Helsinki at 3pm today. So it'll be along day for him, but at least if the plane leaves (looking good, other flights have been made today, even if they've left bit later than scheduled) he'll get straight home with no extra landing. But what a nightmare...
Hope all are well. If I would've had to come to work straight after taking my dad, I would've called in sick as my throat was burning. After 4 hours extra sleep, felt better and got to work at 10. Had cleared it with my line manager earlier, said I might need some extra sleep after taking my dad. :rolleyes: Just today and tomorrow though and then off for 5 days.
