Aww Mel, you sound really under the weather hun, you need (((huggles))).

No Glam, not naughty, exactly what I'd be thinking. X

Thanks Tara:)

Oh and I did a similar thing before my wedding, I forgot to only wear strapless tops and ended up with strap marks, but as we got married in Cyprus and were there a week before the wedding they all but vanished:D You should be fine.

Hello I just thought I'd pop in to say hello and see how everyone is.

I haven't had much time to keep up with things like this recently, my mother in law is back in hospital for a 2nd lot of chemo (she spent several months there and had only been home about a week before she went back in) and I'm not sure what will happen long term. My Nan had a mini stroke and spent 3 weeks in a different hospital, so we've been juggling visiting them. I've still got problems with my neighbour, so spend most my week at my parents house when not out doing other things!

I hope everyone's ok

Keely and Elliot.x

Tara yes that will be lovely. We were on the opposite side of the island but the north is meant to be fab.

DH is now working tonight so that makes up for not working tomorrow. He still hasn't got a new friday night gig

big hugs Mel. Do you think it will be better once bubs arrives?

Tara - If I had seen it I would have applied! The downside is it would add 20-30 minutes onto my journey BUT I would ask to do 35 hours and do 8am-3.30pm so I'd miss lots of traffic and have more time with J than I do now. BUT with the drop in hours it would only be £1.5K more than I'm on BUT I'd be at the bottom of the pay band so potential to earn more (am halfway up current one and once you hit the top you get no more increments).

Lots of BUTS and I can't believe I've worked it all out - I've got a feeling the only reason it was advertised internally for such a short period is because they have someone in mind. *rollseyes*

Don't get me wrong, I like my new job but I'm in a huge office which is really cliquey and I don't think I'm going to get much support from the people above me.

What does he do SJ?

Working in an office and lots of women just don't go together, I hated it. But I love the front of house stuff.

£1.5k is an ok pay rise for a similar job working fewer hours! Hope the other person is rubbish and they offer it to you instead

ETA He's a DJ, Tara

I hope so Glam:cool:

Fingers crossed that they don't get the job...shame you didn't see it before hand, but like you say, maybe they have someone in mind.
