    OH currently making dinner thank god had a major meltdown earlier when he came home just don't think he understands me sometimes. He assumes that cos am home all day my life is easy and can't understand how i don't have time for certain things grr :(

    My OH thinks that to! He goes on about me having a lay in because i wake up at 9am most mornings with Lily. But that "Lay in" is me mostly awake soothing her back to sleep and it also makes up for what i've been awake during the night when i feed her.

    He thinks all she does in the mornings is feed once and sleep and i have it easy. But she crys all morning most times.

    Damn OH's! :p:rotfl:

    Som, Finn got spots fairly often when he was around Tahlie's age. They've since passed so I wouldn't worry too much (unless they start turning rash-like then of course see the GP).

    GISI, Henry is so cute in that photo! I just did the maths because it freaked me out that he's eating food when Finn's only 1 month younger, eek! I haven't even remotely given any thought to weaning :o

    JAM, that bites...wish I could give advice, but I would call ACAS.

    Beenie, so cute! I'm jealous of everyone's L&G but no one we could afford one right now and he's got his playgym which he seems happy enough with so far...maybe one day.

    Thanks for the hugs. Have been expecting it after I was told not to bother picking up my laptop when I went back (delayed my ML for them for two weeks but getting paid full at mo til it's all sorted) but it's still a nightmare. Just trying to find out if they are allowed to do/say what they have done! We'll survive though - last time I got made redundant it was a week after I signed for this house!!

    Huge gentle hugs for all the poorly little ones (and grown up ones)

    Yay for Kian's tooth (if I've remembered right) - no sign at all of C's yet so think it'll be a while.

    Hope everyone else is enjoying the bits of sunshine we've had xxx

    Sorry about your news Jam. My understanding of the law is that they cannot choose you for redundancy just because you are on maternity leave. They can make your actual job redundant, but if they do that then they need to consider whether there is another role you can do in the company before letting you go. In your case, the job itself isn't redundant just being split amongst 3 other workers, and I think they should have considered which of the 4 of you should have been made redundant based on objective criteria not including the fact you've just been off on maternity leave, and followed all correct procedures. I'd contact ACAS for specific advice if I were you. Hope this helps
