afternoon all, wow loads of pages again, will try not to miss anything out.
Im currently working as a budgets manager for the raf and looking to transfer to a civil service job Birmingham way at christmas, hopefully i have an interview in the next week or so, so fingers crossed girls!
With me hopefully starting a new job (which sounds very interesting from the phone call i had yesterday) i will probably only have 6-9 months off, plus realistically thinking a year could be too long with the whole money thing. i am actually now feeling quite bad that they will not know of my 'situation' until my start date which would hopefully be 9th jan, im thinking maybe after i have the offer letter and have accepted and got my start date i could then tell them into the christmas holidays or something. bearing in mind i know how bad it is for the mod at the moment, but then again in my current workplace they wouldnt really care if i was made redundant or not so swings and roundabouts. i know its just a job, but there is also the possibility that in jan/feb 2013 hubster will be posted again (he is an officer so a posting is approx every 2 years) so i could either be returning to work to leave again, or have to transfer yet again to another place as we are in qtrs so have to move upon posting and march in at new place. fun and games of the armed forces ey. oh well at least he isnt due to go out of area again for a long time yet. as for working hours when i go back, the mod has the ability to turn any post into a job share for part time, but i think with my flexi contract i would try and stay full time.
i got my bounty pack at the booking in appointment, some good information books in there for this area, plus i got my purple nhs book. i didnt get a dvd about breastfeeding as they said there is a video online and that would be easier for me to look at.
got loads of money off vouchers, one for a free full pack of pampers nappies, loads for other free bits and bobs, then loads of other random ones for money off when you spend so muc etc.
im yet to pick my pack 2 up from boots, will probably do it this weekend if i go into town.
the emmas diary ones arent that good, but a few free bits in there, some palmers cocoa butter samples, a sample of nappies, fruit flakes and a few leaflets and money off coupons, there is a second emmas diary one that looks a bit better but think you cant get that one til after 25 weeks or something.
mmmm peanut butter cups, i love the nutrageous bars too, they are proper lush. im off to watford this weekend so will be visiting krispy kreme for my fix, may have to get a double dozen so can share the love at work on tuesday.
laura i hope you find a solution for work, and anyone else having problems i did remember there was another (sorry computer at work being stupid so dont want to risk losing what ive written so far). its out of order if they know and are treating you pants, surely you can get them done for it because they arent allowed to discriminate and are supposed to treat you a little more fairly in regards to appointments and leave etc. im quite lucky on that front, my line managers is really good, always asking how i am or telling me to go home if im feeling a bit off. his sister has just had a baby so think that helps.
anyways i better get ready to try and get out of work on time. abi - will reply to you later chick.
im off round to my friends after tea tonight to go and have cuddles with archie and a catch up about weddings with all of the girls, he is now two months old and changed so much already from his pictures on fb, cant wait. still strange that i will have one of them this time next year.
if anyone wants to add me on fb then pls pm me and will send you the link etc when i get home. cant get on here, all sites like that are blocked.
speak laters, have a good evening.xx
