rups you also get bank holidays so make sure you add those on!

I managed to get longer as we shut down for a week over Christmas and going back part time means you only have to use the hols accrued on full time basis over say three days a week rather than 5. Might just help you leave that little bit earlier as sounds like you could do with the rest.

Only statutory maternity pay here too, figured that when I have two at nursery I'll be even more poor than on maternity leave though!!

rups they change what's in the flu jab each year according to hat's going round and its apparently very different to last years jab!

Do you still earn holidays while on leave?

AFAIK yes you do, you're a 'normal' employee.

just 5 min ago, a woman on my floor came to ask me when i am due, and said gosh you are so big, you got two? and then iwent to the loo and the woman who shouts at me 'preggers' shouted that and then asked what happened to my stomach and i said why? she replied because its huge.. i cant win..sigh

Bamama

Told her, she said she'll check up would they be paid as "full time" holidays... or the part time I'm planning to return on?

I'm still waiting for my midwife to get back to me about the whooping cough jab, I called and left a message earlier for her to get back to me as I'll be 38 weeks on Saturday and it should be done before then. I'm not going to get the flu jab but do want the whooping cough one.

The list is scaring me, I'm number 9 now (one of the names on the list has had their baby but not announced it on here yet) it seems more real now I'm in single figures :eek:

omg no 9? i havent checked where i am because i know i will freak out. lol
