    I am back on Wednesday. Realised yesterday I have no suitable work shoes, is that a good enough reason not to go? LOL

    Fabulous reason to no go to work and to go shopping for shoes instead...

    SM - I'm just glad I have an expert in the family as there is no way I could afford to actually pay someone to fix it.

    Oh and triple packs of Cadburys Fingers are not an MSE purchase in Morrisons, it's actually cheaper to buy 3 individual boxes.

    Gisi - I set the wii and wii fit up today too. Do you fancy a challenge buddy? We can try to motivate each other to do 30 min's a day.

    I got all my weight watcher's book's out earlier too, I've done it before so I know if I stick to it it work's. And I get an extra 10 point's a day while Isla's exclusively BF, it drop's to an extra 5 when she's weaning.

    CSH - sound's like a good enough reason to me!

    Good luck tomorrow, Jillie.


    Well, the short answer being I don't know. The long answer being he said I can do 30 hrs til August then he wants me back full time. I refused that and he said come back 30 hrs as we'll see. I am not getting a new contract to reflect the lower hrs just less pay.
    My deputy told me that the area manager was overheard asking my manager in a sneery way 'does she actually want the job' if I'm refusing FT. Eh, Hello???? No I bloody don't want it FT. I asked for PT or change of position, they've yet to offically offer me either. A refusal for either and I'll be handing my notice in.
    They haven't given a written acknowledgement of my official asking for flexible working hours either which I was under the impression they had to by law?
    Who knows! Never work for A ldi girls!!!!
