    If anyone else is interested in Hop n Squeak shoes they're currently £10 instead of £20 on hopnsqueak.co.uk.

    Molly will be squeaking her way through the next three sizes.

    There is excellent news Caz - the HR moron apparently had her butt handed to her by the guy from the Personalrat and they were forced to extend my contract and process my request for parental leave. The contract-making lady was perfectly pleasant but as Molly and I were leaving we ran into the moron and she gave me a look that would have burned a hole in me if I were a sensitive sort. I gave her my sweetest smile in return.

    .. Elle, did you ever tell us what your OH-rage was caused by? :p

    Nope.. I found texts he should never have sent (nor contemplating writing to someone other than his girlfriend of four years - this week in fact, happy anniversary dear! - and mother of his child!), put it that way :cool: He's damn lucky I'm too lazy to move out! *stomp foot*

    Glad last night was a false alarm for Mrs Bruno! xx

    Have brought loads of work home with me.. bah! Feels like I have tonnes to get done, like I'm trying to finish it before going on holiday but I'm only actually going away on my days off anyway so makes no odds to work! :o

    Finished my raging, now plotting his to-do list (he'll do anything, apparently :cool:).

    I know who she is, an old friend (of his, not mine), not local. Seems she's been told, stunned into silence, deleted of FB, all that.

    He knows he is very very lucky..

    Decided we need to get over it and move on. I'm not chucking away four years just cos he's been an idiot :) Happy happy smiley ;)

    Oh, SS, those shoes are so adorable! But my boy's not even cruising, much less remotely needing shoes yet, so I daren't buy any. :(:( But £10 is a steal.

    Oh dear, elle...must be something in the water lately :(. Why are OH's so stupid sometimes?!

    What an idiot Elle, glad your ok though you should be proud of the way you have dealt with it :)

    Huge big enormous HUGS to Tia and family. Hope you're doing ok, and Amber is responding to treatment.

    SS awesome news about leave (and Molly's shoes are very cute)

    Kitkat, your HV sounds quite useful. We had the 'weaning chat' last week, which consisted of being given a bunch of badly photocopied recipes, and some NHS pamphlets. She also kind of implied that you can just give them (cows) milk from 12 months, rather than boob or formula, which bugged me slightly for some reason.

    Elle :mad: for twonky OH, but glad you've managed to sort it.
