    Morning all :)
    I was told on Friday at work that I am likely to be made redundant (find out for definate tomorrow morning but it's not looking good) and am 19 weeks pregnant.

    It might be worth booking to see Citizen's Advice just to check that the company have dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's if they do make you redundant. Especially since you are pregnant.:eek:

    Good luck on the Flying, it does make a difference:D

    Afternoon :wave:

    Busy day with work and stuff but will try and fit some of the list in:

    Tuesday - Living Room, Hall & Stairs

    Take DS for hair cut


    What I've done:
    Dog walk x 2
    Washing load
    Cat tray
    Daily banking
    Emptied bins
    Hospice
    Returned calls
    Work
    Clear and dust mantelpiece and fireplace
    Clear and clean windowsills

    Clean light switches
    Check fire alarms are working
    HH decluttering
    Take DS to friends for tea
    Clear floors and hoover inc stairs
    Clear chairs and settees



    I've got half an hour before DS comes home from school so I suppose I could drag myself up and clear a few things off the list!

    Good advice Short_bird you are probably around your "qualifying week" have a chat with your midwives because it can make alot of difference if you get Statutory Maternity Pay or Maternity Allowance. I was made redundant when I was 19 weeks when I was pregnant with DS3. I had a lovely midwife who moved my due date 2 days earlier and that made a difference of over a thousand quid!
