    Got in touch with CM earlier. She says it wouldn't be fair to charge me a retainer if we don't know whether C would settle and she can't guarantee me a place. But she's happy to try again at a later date if she has space. Me thinks I'll be completely out of a job in 13 weeks :(Anyone want an Avon book??!!

    I might join you in that! My Area Manager has apparently been 'getting back to me' for 3 days now. Had the wrong number or so he said, it was the right one when he rung me last wk *roll eyes*

    Weezl - Happy Birthday! xx Yes I would lid it and fridge it in between :) Think elle posted a link the other day about how long you can keep EBM for, don't know if you saw it? It was something like 5-8 days and not the 24 hrs I seemed to think.

    Caitlyn's bum is a little better this morning. Ooh, and last night when we took Josh swimming, Alan said for me to take Josh in and he would drive round with Caitlyn for a bit (it's always red hot in the swim school). Anyway, he came back about 45 mins later while Josh was getting dried from the shower and Caitlyn didn't even cry when she saw me again. He said he'[d taken her to his mums, got her out the car and everything and she was fine! Woohoo! Still doesn't work with other people though, my sister held her yesterday and she cried!

    3rd May. But its not looking good lol
    Went and seen my Manager on Friday and had a chat and I think she was speaking to area manager, whos a KH btw, AM was speaking to big boss then getting back to me.
    The worst thing is, I actually couldn't care less about never going back if it wasn't for the money. So sad cos I used to love my job! They flucked me about so much when I was pregnant I hate them now :( I used to do 12-14hr days without even blinking and I would bend over backwards for them. Its a company thing, they just don't know how to treat people like people instead of machines. I suppose thats what happens when you work for the germans lol

    I know what you mean. My manager is rubbish, but I love the other people I worked with. Plus it was in a hospital so it was my 'foot in the door'. My wages paid the mortgage every month so it means saving some from DH's wages every week as well as for everything else. He said the other day he feels under more pressure now as we'll have to rely on his wage for everything.

    That's the trouble when companies don't give a t0ss about their employees. Eventually the employees don't give a t0ss about them either.

    This is worrying me just now as OH gets very stressed. Hes got high BP, its related to kidney problems, but it also affects his stress levels day to day. I deal with the money so I try to shelter him from most of it :o
    I am on a decent salary, even if I do go PT and we just can't do without it.

    The germans have been quite bad recently, theres been a cull of 'old' folks, I'm the only one left at my shop from the beginning. My friend I started with was sacked and so were a few others. I feel my coat is on a shaky peg even without the maternity leave.

    On happy work news, my Deputy is pregnant! Shes been trying since before I was pregnant, I think she was doing it wrong lol. Weirdly she is due on my due date from last year, 24th Sept! Whats the chances of that lol

    Oh, I'll go have a look! Hello Kitty is great.

    Charlotte loves Hello Kitty. We got her some fake t-shirts on holiday last year with diamante Hello Kitty's on the front. She thought they were wonderful and wore them to death, but they are too small now. She keep saying "going to Turkey soon. On an aeroplane. Charlotte's going to buy more Kitty t-shirts" :rotfl:

    Happy birthday Weezl. Hope you have a good day xx

    Another fun day of uni, phonecalls for work and housework here.

    My boss is fabulous :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Weezl, if you plan on using the milk as soon as you've saved up enough drops then don't worry about putting it in the fridge... I would put a lid on though... More to stop anything dropping in it or it being knocked over than anything else... It can stay at room temp for a day, it won't be sterile, it's never sterile... But it does have amazing antibacterial properties!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Happy birthday weezl :)

    WM - I think Jack might have started to copy Alex. He woke up at 11.55pm just as I was dropping off (I seem to have awful trrouble getting to sleep these days), then again at 12.50am, was awake from 2.15am to 3.10am, awake again at 6am. :(

    Boo to horrible bosses - am soooooooooooooooo glad I've got a new job to go to :D

    Also, boo for sickness in Ches Krystal

    OH said to wait and see what 3 offer me in April - he reckons that they might have offers on to try and get rid of some phones. But if I can't find anything decent then he won't be stroppy if I go on another netwrok - nice of him isn't it? lol! :rotfl:

    csh - my sister made her annoucement this week - the exact same weekend that I made mine! I was 14 weeks and she is 12 weeks. Spooky!

    Gonna go back to bed for a nap now I think - need more sleep!
