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

How long after jabs was it before he got poorly?

I got her weighed too, she's 15 weeks and 13lb 10oz, following 50th centile from birth. Little Miss Average lol.

thanks everyone i think it just made me feel worse that i dont really see/speak to my mum and she would have done anything to have her mum here. The funeral is on friday and im not good with funerals so might nip in afterwards for some support and make a donation to her charity.

on a better note im sure Erin can say Charlie! well it definatly sounded like it and she looked at me and laughed afterwards!
I also sold my trumpettes on ebay, they look so tiny so i now need something to replace them with

eta sister just phoned they are eventually after much pushing going to admit my nephew!!!! he was weighed today and is under 18lbs at a year old. fingers crossed they get to the bottom of it all!

Probably not MDW, I think it's a normal thing you'd want to experience, going through all the motions before having your baby.

Did you have a planned C section?

I can honestly say if I DO have another baby, I am demanding an elective C section. I never want to go through an experience like that AGAIN. Traumatised!! This is why I smoke (not really but sssssh!)

I feel the same as you, from what you described you had it way worse than me lol but if you've read my birth story you'll know I had a crappy labour too, so right now IF and its a big IF I have more kids (cos its honestly terrified me now) I think I want a c section, I think I will be too scared to have another baby naturally

Thank you MFD

Well I have nothing planned for today, I might pick up my cross stitch again

I have a question I love Buffy the Vampire slayer and have all the episodes on DVD and I can stick them on and watch them all day, now obv it deosnt matter if Elliot sees them cos he doesnt know whats going on, but when should I stop watching them when he is around? or would you not stop watching them? cos you know some episodes are scary lol

hi caz - cake business is alright - but things are uiet now the easter orders have been done. My business partner has just moved so that situation may be changing a little!!!

Hi and waves to jillie, ss, beanie and SM too

3 - talking - it's so funny and cracks me up. Ananbel says 'hi there' and 'bu bye' evereytime she sees someone/enters/leaves a room. She particularly likes old people in the supermarket She knows how to play to the crowd, even at 13 months She also says dodard (yogurt), shoes, ooce (juice - although that's water in our house, poor deprived child), yum, daddy and has just started saying mumma this week.

I fed her HM cheese scones at lunchtime today and she kept saying yum yum to me and wrinkling her nose up with a smile. It made me so warm and fuzzy - can you tell I'm a very proud mummy who obviously doesn't do enough with her life so can only spout about how she loves her DD so much!!!!

saying that I'm looking at going to an evening salsacise class with a friend after easter and making more of an effort to get out and about with hubby as a couple - even if our babysitters have fallen through a few times - at least we are trying!

How are things with you being a SAHM thesedays - still enjoying it?

MFD - glad i've not put my foot in it and you are still working! I hope you enjoyed your holibobs to the sunshine. Your pics were lovely - how alike Benjamin and his daddy are

buttons (may I say you are looking rather hot in your avatar! hello and big waves to keira) and kindofagilr (hello we've not 'met' yet!) I'm sorry to hear about your yucky birth stories, but I do have a cautionary tale re: c-sections. I am the first to admit that if i ever have another baby then it'll be by c-section. I had an emergency c-section with Annabel - she was very ill during a long labour and they took the decision to move fast - I have no problems with what they did at all. The unfortunate thing was that I lost a huge amount of blood from the operation, took longer to stitch me up because of complications and so husband was left with a very ill baby in sspecial care and a very ill wife in high dependency! We were both fine in the end - but it's definately not the easy option - I promise - now lecture over I promise!!!!
