    .. Lady- are you payroll? Random q- Why would my wage slip say SMP and SMP Top-Up when my employer doesn't top up? And its only on Feb wage?
    Please ignore If I'm being dim and no-one works payroll lol

    Just sticking my oar in... Would you usually have been due a payrise in the time you've been on SMP?

    Payrise this yr from 1st Feb. Would that make a difference though if I'm only SMP?

    Beenie- Thats the best news I've heard all day, you are well rid!

    I do, but I'm afraid the answer could be that the payroll is being done by trained monkeys? The only other thing I can think of is that if you have been awarded a payrise in your absence they have to amend the amount you are paid at 90% of your average earnings to include the payrise. No idea if that is likely?

    Beenie - glad he's gone: hope you can sort something out for the cot :)

    MFD - I agree, asda has some gorgeous baby clothes in just now! I managed to restrain myself today (mostly), but did get some cute babygros and onesies, some tights that were on offer, and some cute bibs (including a long one with sleeves for when we go out). I really wanted the strawberry dress though! I like the thumper clothes but don't need them as my sister sent me the most gorgeous thumper disneyland paris exclusive set for her for christmas which I adore :D

    Had our last baby massage class today which we really enjoyed: £1 for a set of 3 classes is amazing value :D Then lunch with our antenatal mums and babies group which was lovely. It was after this that I went into town and kinda went overboard a little on baby stuff - thank goodness its council tax free month :rotfl:

    Am now enjoying a white wine spritzer, and am about to open a box of 'valentine collection' chocolates from tesco: down to £1.50 today (instead of £6 original price) :D Anyone want one? *passes round box*

    Oooooo! Great minds!
    I thought the 90% thing was average earnings of weeks whatever to whatever while still pregnant?
    Never mind, not one to turn down a free £60!


    Squishy- Our massage classes are even better value! Free every week!
