you are more than welcome to BTW, even though you think you were being funny

I am back on 7th Feb but being retrained for my new role thing, so wont be taking appointments till end of March, and then my lovely ladies, you can all move your mortgage to me and I can do everything for you all

end of March yay book me in (actually, might be bit busy end of March, see sig!) but that's cool to know, I didn't know you could talk to the same person, I always speak to someone new

I'm sure you've already recapped about this, but what's the latest about the retraining being 5 days away from your babies? Can anything be done?

SM, my HV doesn't contact me, I contact her. Checkups are 8m and 24m in our area but I regularly see her at Baby Club to have Jamie weighed so maybe if I didn't she would chase me up? I do get letters when needles are due (even though we get slips posted from nhs) and she rings as routine if either of them have been to the walk-in centre.

was just to get him weighed and get the eye referral put through again as we still havent heard anything and apparently have nothing on file !!
He is still 8kg exactly, so hasnt put anything on at all in 3 weeks other than grow 1/2cm but she says thats probably just because he was sick over christmas and not to worry.

They do that as they become more active anyway. You're not worried are you?

Yeah, you might be a bit busy at the end of March :rotfl:

When you phone, you go to a call centre and can speak to any random person that answers !! Branch MAs all have mobiles so our nice customers can phone us direct without having to go through the call centre

And, no cant get out of it, have to go away on 17th March for 5 nights.
I normally go on a 3 day conference in England every November, but I have told them I wont be going to it this year since I have to go away now, so at least its only this once.

Nope
I just see it that he has learned so many new things in the last month that he is using up all his energy supplies to do them !! And he is happy and seems healthy
But then I'm not a worryer about that sort of thing, he only got weighed today cuz I needed the referral put through

How about something second childhood like? Meccano or something he can build with the boys?

Debenhams had a build-your-own internal combustion engine that Husband gave my dad for Christmas and was a big hit

We have the combustion engine for [STRIKE]hubby[/STRIKE] DSS to build.

Meccano these days is simply not what it was I think there may be some classic sets knocking about but the new fangled plastic stuff is just not cricket!!

...and the boys may need to be a little older to appreciate it...

Tis a good idea though.

How about a pipe and slippers

I'll be away around that time too, gonna stay in Bristol for a week when DD has her LO. X

Can I ask a part-time work question?

I want to go back three days a week, which will be 24 hours. However I'd also like to add our monthly managers meeting on as extra, so that I always have three days a week in my store, then one week a month do an extra day at the meeting. Does that make sense? Does anyone do anything similar? My business case is that it will ensure that I am actually in my store as I think that's the minimum I need to do my job, but does adding that extra day a month make things a bit messy? Any thoughts appreciated.

.

GISI assuming the fulltime equivalent staff work a 40 hr week (you were talking about 8 hr days which is where I deduced that from!) then 3 days a week plus a day a month would work out as you being on a 0.65 contract. They could easily work out your pro-rata entitlements using that figure, I'd say... I've been on a 0.25 contract, a 0.35 contract and a 0.5 contract and my other colleagues have done things like 0.8 so it's no more unusual than that I'd say....?
