    Had an absolute kick in teeth past 24 hours

    ... Hours at work getting reduced by 2 per week = loss of £52 per month
    ... Rota changing so will have to work 5 day week = health will suffer

    Both start in Sept for new financial year, benefits should cover 85% of the wage loss but won't find out till I get september wage slip so looking at end of october before I find out for sure
    Luckily I've got some money saved up in bank that will cover this loss for now
    Shifts look to be 2-hours or 3-hours long which will be a pain in the butt over 5 days, I already do both saturday and sunday long shifts.
    My health is geared up to manage working 4 days with 3 days off to recuperate so having to switch shifts around is going to totally screw me up (peaty will know what I mean).

    ... Relative of OH has died
    May or may not be getting the cat

    Just feel so blooming peeved off

    Don't know if anyone has mentioned this before but I have found that I sometimes get extra sb for search when I go to the second page of search results.

    Or the second, third, fourth etc pages :)

    Aww Cally, I'm so sorry : ( Have you tried talking to the Shaw Trust? They might be able to negotiate with your employer to put you back on the routine you need.

    So sorry Cally. Can you have a risk assessment at work? If there's someone there who understands your needs they may be able to do a work around. Thinking of you. Chin up. xx
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    Weird...
    Yesterday's DS didn't grant on swaggy, but it did on the site itself... £1 instead of 35p... BOOM! Which also means that I'm £1 away from £25 payout!
