    ..I spent my maternity leave writing a tender which has still not been awarded so I feel a bit 'robbed' of my time concentrating solely on my son in some ways.

    no comfort at all, but I just wanted to say I really know this feeling and it is horrid :(

    hugs again

    hiya tara! did you see me ask how S and P are doing? :)

    I'm now sensibly and reasonably smartly dressed. I'd be very smartly dressed if I CBA to iron and there wasn't a small orange handprint on my trousers. Why does Molly insist on squidging her food before she will eat it?

    Stoopid Aldi :mad: Still trying to agree what I'm doing when I come back since they refused my application for my job on PT contract.
    Hes just came back and said I can stay on my original contract and work 30hrs and agree a timescale,3 mths, for returning to FT!!!!
    Eh naw! Thats quite clearly not what I asked!!!
    Bizarrely: offering me the job and pay I asked for but not giving me a new contract and then reverting back to my old conditions and hours in 3 months time!
    Offered to demote myself and everything but apparently thats all he'll give me!

    So have said I'll come back do the fudging 30hrs, review in 3 months and still refuse to do 48hrs (FT)
    So now area manager has to go back to Ops Director and see what he says about that

    Anyway, back a week on Monday yey! not!!!

    Mel! Hello :D how are you managing with 3 and a big bump?

    Is kai walking or are you having to do masses of lifting?

    How do you feel about number 4 coming, are you ready?

    Sorry to bombard you!

    CSH hello lovely :) Grrrrrr at your work. Surely if they can offer you that for 3 months then there's a precedent for it being possible longer term?

    Has anyone registered their baby with a dentist yet?
    At his 6 month check, my HV said I should register Alex even though he has no teeth.

    Whilst there today I asked my dentist about it and he kind of sighed and rolled his eyes.
    He said that HV were saying that, as in this area, there were lots of children that didn't go to a dentist or have their teeth brushed once a week, let alone once a day :eek:.
    (Nice place Wigan!). Plus having no flouride in the water, makes it worse. So they were pushing for people to register them early in the hopes that parents will actually take them to the dentist. But as I am a responsible parent he will see Alex sometime after he is one. And if he does get any teeth before that, to use adult toothpaste. But I think I will just take Alex along with Joe and I to our next check up, so he can have a nosey and get used to it.
