    Some posh dude keeps ringing my mobile. He's like "oh good morning, may i speak with David Wilson". I'm like, wut?! piddle off i told you 4 times already you've got the wrong number.

    He knows it's the wrong number cos he keeps saying he's just spoke to me?? Goon.

    SS I wonder if it's possible those feelings would leave if you didn't have LO2 in Germany??

    Just a thought...

    I'm wondering that too. Ze Germans don't use gas and air at all, and I hope I could cope with the pain with just gas and air to avoid another epidural because it was the mismanagement of that that caused the problems. Still, if every labour is different perhaps Future Baby (hypothetically known as Uterizzard) won't be so determined to stay put.

    Last week's OBEM and this week's just downloaded. Just need OH to booger off so I can sob in peace.

    MacSmiler - a funny situation but I will continue to work (quite probably in the same job) without a break (unless I take the last 2 weeks in April in protest!). I just feel like I am being diddled!

    Lovely to see you here xxx



    Edit - Elliot is GORG!!!
    lol, I think the rules are more to help peeps who get suddenly made redundant coz the company folds (could be way off though) I got a whooping £30 from the gov't kitty when Zorbit went into administration:rotfl:

    Redundancy Interview was short and not so sweet. I feel like the rules are being bent slightly...

    My contract ends on 30 April - my employer has been paid to employ me until then.
    They are saying that I now have a 14 day consultation period and then my 'notice' of 1 week for every 7 years full service starts then. So effectively at the end of April I get my usual salary plus 5 weeks.

    Surely I should get my usual salary plus 7 weeks?

    Am I wrong?


    I think you would need to see whats in writing but it sounds like your 'consultation' period is being lumped in with the notice period?

    Are you working all of April incl consulation period?

    If they are paying you 1 wk for every year worked then yes, it should be usual salary plus 7 wks payoff.

    That's awful news. Hope you are ok xx

    I just found out on Sunday that a friend I knew has died. She was a good shoulder to cry on when my ex left me, but we drifted apart a while back. That shocked me too.

    I had a laparoscopy one year on the 22nd Dec and they stitched me so tight I couldn't stand up straight. I ended up cutting them out with a pair of nail scissors on xmas morning. Prob not recommended x

    I had a laparoscopy just before Christmas once and they stitched me up tight and said the stitches would disolve. It got tighter and tighter and by New Years Eve, I was in agnoy so I had to ring our doctors. My neighbour was a practise nurse then, and I was able to pop in and see her. She took one look and realised they were normal stitches and my skin was healing over them. She had to dig them out with a scalpel while the other nurse took pity and was feeding me Roses while I was lying there :rotfl:

    Been out and bought some ingredients this morning. Josh is starting cookery at school and they are making decorative salads tomorrow, so that's my lunch sorted on Friday :D
    Here I go again on my own....
