Good Morning everyone, the weekend is here at last & boy am I glad. It's been very busy at work this week & as I do 2 jobs at the same place my 2nd job (helping to set up some new events) at my school, makes my 1st job (reprographics) a lot busier. Reprographics is a posh word for doing all the photocopying. My monthly throughput of copies has risen from 80,000 per month has risen to 96,000 a month so I'm making myself busier!
When my 2nd job was originally advertised it was @ £10 this was reduced to £8, when it was offered to me as it was suggested that other staff members might object. Yesterday I was told that due to 'some confusion' the hourly rate is in fact only £6 per hour, as you can imagine I'm gutted as I have worked my bxxxs of doing the job, which includes designing spread sheets & desktop publishing among other things.
I am not prepared to accept this & I at least want paying at the old rate for the hours I've done, which is 50 hours, as it is I haven't been paid for last month yet & was told it was because I hadn't provided the necessary information, when in fact I've provided it 5 times now & have kept the fax acknowledgements to prove this.I will now have to decide what to do about the new pay cut, obviously I'm worried that if I stay on in the job long enough I will have to pay them for the pleasure of working for them!!
Oh well, rant over, I should have realised it was to good to be true, and I'm one of the people who loses out in the budget, as I earn less then £18k (a lot less) and as I have no dependant children & I'm under 65!
Still things could be worse, I still have my health, my kids & my grandchildren & they are worth more than money.
Hugs to all those that need them
Hester

kyle reading from last night, any o/s are welcome to come, but sadly, you will have to pay for yourselves! DLB suggested a disney wedding, and get a ride in cinderella's carriage, not too sure what we intend to do, if possible either on the beach! or near the water/dolphins/whales (if they do them)

Well today i am aiming at sorting out my big cupboard under the stairs.I have storage bags and bin liners at the ready and will do that after i have surfed for a while. This afternoon i hope to go swimming with my youngest 3 children, Ds aged 4 clings to me but i will keep on trying as surely one day he will get used to the water. I need to put some washing on and the dishwasher needs unloading. Not lot else to say except i hope you all have a peaceful saturday with lots of OS blessings. Take care all, Love Elaine

Aww Hester *HUUUG!*

sorry to hear all of your hassle, work problems ring a bit true for me, though in my case it's the hunt for them.

You must have some proof somewhere of what they said? They can't just cut your pay like that.

B*****ds!

ccstar I understand where you are coming from some people can be so rude, instead of thinking about what they are saying!
I've been called all kinds on other boards when all I have done is ask a simple question!
just ignore them because those people aren't worth your time!
smokeybabe it looks gorgeous where you live.
I am on my ovely 12 hour shift today!:eek: (AT LEAST ALL i DO IS SIT ON MY BUM ALL DAY!)
I hope everyone is well.
We literally have no food in our house except some flour/pasta and milk!:eek: ...nothing else! but me and OH are both on 12 hours so we haven't even got time to go to the shops!
we are going tommorow though!:o kids are going to both nanas today (at seperate intervals of course!) so no doubt they will be well fed!
I am currently claiming my bank charges too and the bank have started to be REALLY nasty with me!:mad: :rolleyes:
I am also in the midst of seeting a pension up with work and it has me completely baffled!:o
take care everyone and big hugs to you all.

Please tell us you have something in writing or pay slips at original rate. They cannot just cut your pay like that. Do you have union access or CAB?

Morning all

Not much planned for today. Think I will make a menu plan for the week and might make up some vegemince mix which is usually good as a base for many things... might not though, depends on how I feel!!!

Am all up to date with the washing - 5 loads yesterday and it's just me!!! Had to use TD as weather so grotty.

Going to pop into town later for a few bits and pieces and then spend this afternoon completing a job application for my 2nd job (
I have the job on a 'as and when basis' but a fixed term post has arisen and think I may just go for it!!!

Timer has just gone off... telling me my sausages are now cooked... nice sausage sarnie for breakfast... yum!

Morning all! I have no plans for today except the usual looking after 2 kids and slowly going insane :wall: At least I won't be spending any more though.

Harduphester - they can't just cut your pay like that. I started my job a couple of years back on £4.85p/h (pitiful I know) and then it turned out the other staff were on £4.65. The boss just said that there'd been a mistake but she couldn't cut my pay so she had to make up a reason why I was being paid more to tell the other staff. I'd seriously question it!!

Hi Loraine

Before you send it to dishwasher heaven, why not have a look on the UK Whitegoods Dishwasher forum to see if they can help. If there isn't already a post there, you can ask them for help - the moderators are all service engineers, and have helped me with my DW in the past, and also my WM (on the WM forum).

Here's a link to the DW forum http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=33&sid=ec1083af95d11c1106253addf84fb54d
