Sounds like we've all had bad days, here's hoping tomorrow is better for all of us! xxx

Do I need to photocopy both sides of my MATB1 form? Am I right that I keep the original and everyone else gets the photocopy? x

I sent a copy to my work HR and they just emailed me today saying they needed the original, so probably worth checking.

Here's to a better tomorrow for everyone

I'm off to bed as have been knacked all day.

My work wanted the original. I didn't photocopy mine - will I need it for something?

My midwife advised me to photocopy mine and keep the original as my work will need it, OH's work require a copy so he can have paternity leave, the council require a copy for my trial pack of reusable nappies and then the DWP want a copy towards benefits.

Oh I understand. My DH didn't need it for his work - they never asked. What kind of benefits is that - the child benefit? I thought proof of birth would be enough?

are any of you hiring a tens machine? Anyone know of a good deal going?

Thanks kitten wasn't too bad was only 10 miles outside Cardiff. Called recovery to pick me up and poor police took pity and let me sit in their car for a bit. Mechanic gonna look at it tomorrow and hopefully tell me it's a very simple to fix and cheap problem but I know I'm not that lucky. Problem is I'm meant to be moving by other half into my house this weekend and on Monday I'm meant to be driving to Manchester for a few days break. Eeeek. Ne'er mind the fact that I left my keys with mechanic including house keys lol so can't get my uniform for Uni tomorrow do gonna have to call in sick lol

Ikkle my work want the original. They refused one girl application for mat leave as she sent the photocopy. I photocopied mine as I don't trust HR not to loose it. My OH's boss didn't want to see it, depends on the company I guess.
RJH sorry to hear about your car. Didn't it break a while back and you got stuck in your PJs on the motorway? Hope it's simple to and cheap to fix.
Mrs E I'm sure someone mentioned that NCT hire tens machines out. But I've not looked yet to be honest.

I'm shattered, think its been a rubbish day for many people. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Night all xxx

Me and my OH work for the same company but he is at a branch in Leeds and I'm at a branch in Ripon and they've told him they need a copy of the MatB1 and a form filling in. He actually has my due date week booked off as holiday already as we were due to go on holiday that week, then I got pregnant so he needs to ask if he can move it forward or to the back of his paternity leave.

They've also told him he has to apply for flexi paternity leave, which I've never heard of so he needs to ask what that means because he's entitled to 2 weeks off whether they like it or not, it might just be that they mean because we aren't sure if I'm getting induced early or not yet x
