Lost my post but basically:
roundtuit - same rights as full time permanent staff given your length of service. They need your consent to change your T&C's, but they can force change through if they do it right - sack and re-employ, etc. Is it just you or other people too? May be worth a polite letter asking them to re-consider before thinking about other options like claiming discrimination, etc. Sometimes just pointing out that it isnt fair is enough.
hollyh - surely you are dressed and wearing shoes like a good fly lady?
congratulations to all those with good results
been at work so not much done yet but DW, WM and TD on. It never ends does it?'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

We used to say you'd been gorilla'd when you had bed hair - there used to be an advert for wella or shock waves or something where there was a guy asleep and a gorilla came into his bedroom and dragged him all around the room messing his hair up, then the miracle hair product sorted it out the next morning...
PigPen not funny! It was all Jake's tiny stuff too! As I said, glad it wasn't knickers... It would have been double pegged if I had enough pegs :wall:So, there are these boys,
They kinda stole my heart,

I am dreading DS2 losing everything. We went swimming yesterday and DS2 had a brand new pair of trunks on (due to losing his favourite old pair) and he managed to come home without them :mad:. I phoned the baths and they have been handed in so looks like a 10 mile trip on the cards to fetch them tomorrow!Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j0
