    I don't think I will be coming, although I am a bit :cry: about it....

    I only have a day and a half of holiday left and I really need it for interviews.

    :( If they're getting rid of you, are you not allowed reasonable time off for interviews?


    I've been trying to keep up, but can't remember anything so hugs, :T and :( to whoever needs them.

    Does anyone want a stroppy ar5ed 9 year old with an attitude problem? She's been vile today. :(

    I think i'm still ok for Thursday. I've taken my car in today for the repair after OH went into the back of someone, and i've been given a courtesy dodgem/Corsa. I don't know how long my car is in for and I haven't tried to get the Stokke in the boot of the Corsa yet to see if it fits. But although it's small, I actually quite like it.

    Collecting the Jumperoo on Wed morning, am very excited. :j

    Do you not normally give him a bottle as the last thing you do before putting him down?

    SS - Thanks for that link. I've not even thought about shoes for J and at this rate I won't be getting any until he goes to school! :rotfl:

    Interesting they said wearing shoes can affect crawling.

    MDW - I shall PM you now :D

    Gutted I can't make Thursday - I've had to take another day off for settling in sessions. :( Take lots of piccies - I need to make sure Hammy isn't a builder called Dave after she's coming to J's birthday party. I know MDW isn't! ;)

    MFD - agree with 3 (where have you been BTW? :naughty:) about getting reasoanble time off for interviews. I know when our team was being disbanded we were allowed to take time off. Can't remember what your situation is though. :undecided

    I've done everything I need to tonight so I'm going to get an early night :j

    3 - the place I work you would have probably ended up with a Chevrolet Matiz as a your courtesy roller skate - nothing fits in the boot of it.

    Thanks Glam - I'll have my phone with me on Thursday so I'll get some piccies.

    MFD found this on the ACAS website:

    If you are being made redundant you are entitled to take reasonable time off with pay (but no more than 2/5ths of a week's pay in total, regardless of the length of time off allowed) to look for another job, or to arrange training for future employment. You must have at least two years' continuous service. You can take the time off within working hours while under notice.

    MFD Do you actually know what your situation is yet? ;) (I haven't been anywhere btw, i've had a busy weekend and have been trying to catch up on my phone, but it's too much of a faff to post! I did actually go out yesterday afternoon/night in RL to the pub and had a dirty kebab on my way home - it's been so long since that happened).

    Last time I got a Citreon C1, I felt like I was driving round in a noddy car! :rotfl:


    Just had sad news. My friend has found out today that her first attempt at IVF has failed. :( They were so hopeful, 9 out of 10 eggs that they took had 'taken', she had two put back in, and they've failed. I know it's only their first attempt, but I haven't got a clue what to say to her when I see her.
    It makes me so :mad: that people who don't deserve children are popping them out annually, and she, who will be the most fab Mummy ever is struggling. :(

    MDw - beat me to it!!! I was gonna post that from ACAS but I have a feeling it's a case of contract coming to an end rather than being made redundant.

    Well since you sold her so well :rotfl:

    I bet you're all going to have a fabby day on thursday. I hope someone is planning on taking lots of pics.

    My secretly pregnant friend has today had her 12 week scan and announced her pregnancy which is just so exciting :j. She is due Feb 12th which I believe is Alfie's birthday :j. ETA- sorry 3, we crossed posts and I hope I don't sound inconsiderate posting this now.

    It is so warm here tonight- I think I might just give in and head up to bed.
