    Sami, if you want to sell your itouch i know CEX offer £100 for it. OH was going to sell his to them but FIL bought it off him instead.

    I've lost mine, i was catching up on here on it, and i put it down so we could go out. And now its gone :confused:
    I'm kinda stuck with it coz it was a present from IL's and MIL would get all grumpy if she found out :rolleyes: Chris has kinda claimed it to feed his jls obsession now :rotfl:jjjjjjjj jls oh the Dr just finished telling me there's no time... x100,000,000 a day

    caral - I could do with a trip there too- I'll come along with you! Oh, just remembered, I'm snowed in. PANTS!

    Off to a friend who lives along the road. I've got some really lovely mummy friends in RL round here now. That's one reason why I'm not online as much - I'm getting out and about and have a toddler who is very demanding of her mummy!

    but I'm always thinking about you all - and check in from time to time to see gorgeous baby pictures :D

    have I missed any big news??????

  • 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 they might be right, IIRC you can work during the notice period, obv need to check the stuff on dwp/direct gov though x

    Usual salary plus 7 weeks sounds more sensible to me. *confused*

    Are you working for the 14 day sonsultation period?


    Rmac Hi! We miss you. How is your little toddler now? Keeping you on your toes?
    :beer:

    I need to get it in writing and see what happens.

    There is no incentive for me to work the final 2 weeks if that is the case.

    MFD - how pants. Sorry I didn't know you were ebing made redundant. What's the plan now (if that's not too nosey?) a SAHM for a while or/and jobhunting etc?

  • 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!!!
