    Hiya... Just quick post. Happy birthday to hammy, big huge well done to Erin for walking, I bet she looks sweet toddling round:)

    Tara, I haven't anything to add to what others have said but just wanted to echo their sentiments really! I can't believe a vicar would turn around and say they don't believe in christenings??? Very peculiar! The previous occupants of our house were born again Christians and had a big pool in the garden that they use to sit round chanting prayers and dipping people in the pool??? Not really sure what that was all about but the neighbours said sometimes there would be a lot of them at a time.

    On a similar theme, we had a joint naming ceremony for the two older boys and I am torn about whether to do the same for the younger two, once new babe is a few months old?? I am not sure I can be bothered but don't want to not do it as I dint like the thought of them being treated differently or sort of, left out!

  • both kids in bed :)

    tara, your vicar does not sound very nice at all !! Hopefully all that info everyone gave you will help.

    My sister got a different minister to our own in a different church to marry her as ours refused to allow my dad to give her away as they were already living together !! The same one would only allow me and Chris to have a naming ceremony for Jas as we were different churches and not married
    Hope you can get it sorted xx

    Elle, if you're about can I pick your brains please? :D

    On Friday I had to stay off work with Seth, can I ask them to put it down as unpaid parental leave rather than sick pay? They wont let me have it as holiday, and they take off 25% of our monthly commission for each sick day, and £50 off our £250 yearly sickness bonus for each sick day :( I cant afford to lose so much, when you account in that I have to pay the CM as well!

    I havent asked about it yet, but I thought if there was a lady who would know what info I need as back up it would be you :A thank you xx

    Hi Em I'm obviously not Elle (not thin enough for a start:p), but, they can't put you down as sick leave if YOU weren't sick. It would have to be recorded as Parental leave
