    Was mostly the hours as I was supposed to be only two shifts a week. With all the family stuff I only had one day off scheduled in three weeks. Some of the shifts were 10 to 12 hours long :eek: Some as you guys will have noticed were 6am starts and some finished at midnight. Its hard going. x

    Well if you do go back at least you've learned you can and should say no. It sounds like she has realised she was asking too much of you. The thing is she now knows you can and will leave with no notice if you are pushed to it. For her to know you are capable of leaving her in the lurch and still offer you your job back says a lot I think.
    Even if you still decide it's not for you, hopefully she has learned something about how not to treat future employees. You've shown her it doesn't pay to take advantage of people's good nature.

    I dont need to go back financially, there is always a road for it I guess. I dont know if I just have guilty feelings as I know it left her in a whole a bit.

    Oh I dont know SSM xx

    On reading this, I feel that you don't want to return but feel a little horrid at the way you left. That is not the right reason to return.

    Onwards and upwards Ms Bananababe! :T:T:T:T:T:T

    Maybe, Im not sure if me calling her she seen a lifeline for her too. I did say it was the last thing I was expecting. Getting used to the quaffing champers with OH and chilling out.

    I am considering the pros and cons. I have never gone back to a job I have left before ?

    You could always go halfway and tell her you'd give it a go on a trial basis....a number of weeks. Try doing hours that really do suit you and see how you feel. Don't be afraid to suggest it. She's put the ball firmly in your court. She clearly needs you more than you need the job. That's not a bad position to be in

    Glad to hear that your boss has realised your worth BB :) Good luck with making your decision.

    I've had work issues today. Logged on from home to my work e-rostering account to find that all of my annual leave requests for school holidays have been declined as there are too many other people off :( They have given me part of October half term off but not a full week at all when the schools are off. The next leave calendar was only released last week and I was too busy at work to get on the computer. Usually they wait until everyone has had a chance to put requests in to allocate but it seems this year was first come first served :mad: No family holiday for us this year :(:(:( Have already drafted a letter to the boss to a) reduce my hours and b) complain about their unfair allocation this year

    Could really do with a glass or two of wine tonight but after another trip to the Drs this morning I've got new tablets for my dizziness that I can't drink with....:cool:

    You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    Never thought of it like that. If I did it that way she knows that I am committing to that period and that beyond that could be discussed.

    Food for thought FC.

    I'm not going to be impulsive again I'll try and figure out whether Im just feeling for her and trying to help fix the problem. (Im a sap)
