  • mm, Is 4 1/2 days not feasable?

    At the minute I work 35 hours - 4 x 8 hour days and 1 x 3 hour day
    I want to go to one week as above, next week 3 x 8 and 1 x 3.
    The half day wouldnt work for me financially, as I would still have to drive 40 miles to get to work, just for less hours, whereas the day off every other week would allow me a day less petrol as well as the time at home. Not sure what to do now :( the 3 hour day is the Saturday, which I could drop, and also finish an hour early one day a week, but I know for a fact, I would still be made to work some Saturdays anyway, so whats the point ???

    Yay for dedication service, Krystal :) Can you take the dress back and swap it for a smaller size?
    I probably could because it's only Asda... But I have Aimee's christening gown that I thought might be sweet for her to wear... Seeing as she's not crawling or walking yet it would work quite well...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    seems at the moment, no-one can get the hours they want to work.

    i printed off before i went on mat leave our company policy on flex working hours and requests for it. i'm already assuming i cant work the hours i want but.... the manager will have to follow company procedure as i wont be a pushover on my hours
    (not suggesting anyone is)

    mm- is there not a branch closer to you that can offer the hours you want.

  • jillie, I'm being the same, I just asked her what the business reason was for it, and she couldnt give me one !!
    I work in 2 branches, 1 40 miles away and 1 5 minutes away !! No other branches available for me to move to, so I'm stuck, unless I choose a demotion and could stay in my home branch full time, but less money :(

    We had a couple of hours of screaming again last night :confused: Benjamin finally settled about 2am and we still managed to make it to swimming at 9am!






    Who is Taylor Hanson? :o

    *Runs away to google*



    LOL - I guess the surname should have given it away.

    Off to put the babba down for his nap....still Lolling weezl's willy head comment!!!

    You made it swimming at 9 - you are officailly superwoman. When Archie has a bad night (and yes it still happens :0( ) I am useless the next day and generally end up sharing his nap :D.

    anyone know if there's a gadget anywhere that I can use to quickly work out ebay and paypal frees?? (I'll go buy 2 more trikes if it's worth it;))

    eep! We'll keep him in our prayers xx
    I'm now scared because my mum has got a lump of fluid behind her hernia scar that 'they' don't really now what it is at the mo

    :T cheeky weezl :D (I'd have done worse :o:p)

    I'm so upset,angry p'd off (take your pick)

    My manager finally got back to me about my return to work, well I'd asked for 9-4, Monday-Thursday, and I can't have it :mad: The only day she can offer is a Tuesday and I have to work 9-5. It takes me over an hour to get home due to public transport and if I work until 5pm it'll be more or less time to put him to bed when I get in. I didn't have a child to not see him :mad:, plus Tuesday is just a random day to have off, so it looks like I'll be seaqrching for another job. Most probably evenings and weekends :o so me and hubby will never see each other.

    Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a mardy bum and didn't get so upset.

    Was gonna right something incitful here but then krystal said it all lol !!!!

    Sugar - big hugs to you and 'get well soon' vibes to OH. Is flying back to the UK for treatment an option? :confused:

    Krystal - I would go for next Sunday.

    weezl - in case u have gone by the time I log on later, good luck with the scan tomorrow. Will be waiting for news of team blue and team pink!

    Jack just left a pool of baby sick on Daddy's chest :rotfl:

    Thanks lovely - since he isn't a UK citizen or resident we'd still have to pay there :(

    And I agree with you about next Sunday and Weezlie's scan (the fairies probably have a whole array of MSE team pink things if it turns out that way) and :rotfl:at Jack. I feel a bit better about getting puked on the other day (:mad: at babies who throw up in my face).
