[cupcake1981]

It's brilliant isn't it! I love up to!

 

[MrsDuck]

Well I just had loads to catch up on, I'm glad the thread is chatty again

Sath I'm changing to thyroxin after my scan I can't wait, liothyronine are crap, too short lived so too much up and down of levels sorry for your bad back

Cheryl yay for hubby coming around

Bailey that's a tough one about the car, but if you are changing in he next year or so anyway then there's no point waiting if you've found a good one. Can you get good money for yours and can you put he scratch card win towards it then you won't have much left to pay?

Cupcake what a bugger about the paper, you've all had issues with your nursery stuff. I'm definitely not going to wait til the end of my pregnancy before doing mine. Naughty lbcc for scaring mummy

We we finally managed to use the boat we went out for drinks on a friends boat last night then a gorgeous dinner and more drinks in a scrummy restaurant by the marina, then yet more drinks in a bar after, so we used our boat as our hotel instead of getting a taxi home the new bedding was lovely we went out for a spin this morning then had late brekki on board

 

[MrsDuck]

Hmmmm did I OD on ??

Mrs d that was a super smiley post! Someone has had a really nice weekend !

Defo get your nursery done sooner rather than later, were gonna make our furniture up once we've finished painting (thats the royal we lol) so we can then see what else we need like decals etc. that's if the furniture is ok.......watch this space.....

 

[MrsDuck]

Haha the royal we. We NEED to see pics when it's done

Yup had a lovely but very long day. We've just modified some sheets, mattress protector etc to fit the shape of the berth and it was quite successful thankfully and much cheaper to do it ourselves with the sewing machine than pay stupid money to get someone else to make them up

Just as well I'm back to work tomorrow as I've eaten soooo much over the weekend STEP AWAY FROM THE FRIDGE!

 

[baileybubs]

Lots and lots of smileys lol!! Yay

Glad you had such a lovely weekend mrs d, sounds like you had such an amazing time!

Cupcake I love Up too!! It's so good and makes me cry from the very beginning!

 

[baileybubs]

Lol mrs d I keep saying I'm on a diet but its not happening lol!

 

[cupcake1981]

Up is lovely but sooooo sad!

Ill post pics when it's done, will be a little wait yet tho I'm afraid! We're not rushing it still have 13 weeks!

Did everyone have lovely fathers days x

 

[MrsDuck]

I'd be the size of a house if I was at home all day every day. I've got no will power, it's bad

 

[baileybubs]

We had a great Father's Day, we saw df's parents and Emilia was smiling and laughing for them lol. Then we went to see my parents and went out for tea. Df is still off work with his foot and I think we are both dreading him going back, they will be complete arses with him I'm sure.

Mrs d I think I need to stop baking these brownies and cupcakes lol!!

 

[cupcake1981]

All I do at home is graze, it's terrible, my sweet tooth has got horrendous since my ms went!

 

[baileybubs]

Morning ladies,

I'm here to rant!! My df's boss told him he can't have Friday off for his Grandads funeral!!! I'm fuming but I'm trying to stay calm so that he doesn't go mad. After discussion with his sous chef he has got them to agree that he will work 9-12 then go to the funeral at 2 and then be back at work at 5. He's really not happy about having to go back in though. I'm afraid he's gonna walk out. I originally told him that if they wouldn't let him go then he should quit and take them to tribunal for constructive dismissal but technically they are letting him go, just not letting him have the night off.
God knows what we are gonna do if he walks out.

 

[AmyB1978]

bailey. Your DF's boss is such an ass!

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh my god what an ass!!!!! This idiot has no heart!!!!!!

 

[baileybubs]

I know, df and me are scouring the internet for any job for him now, he just cant believe it. The excuse is that another chef has a funeral on that day too, and (in his boss's words) he has "just had 5 days off sick"

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh this guy needs taking down a peg or 10! I hope he finds something else xx

 

[baileybubs]

Well the sous chef has arranged it so he can work til 1pm now, then not come back til 6pm, I heard him on the phone and he actually was really nice to df and said he really wished he could have it another way but it was impossible. I guess it was nicer than they way his boss has dealt with it. At least he can go to the funeral and wake, just has to go back to work.

We have found another job for him that is really good if he can get it, better money too.

 

[AmyB1978]

Fingers crossed the other job works out for him!

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh bailey your poor df, I hope he gets this new job x

 

[baileybubs]

Apparently his boss has been saying that if he finds out he's been out drinking this weekend whilst he's been off sick with his foot infection he'll sack him (he's good friends with one of the chefs he works with so he's been keeping him informed). It's just ridiculous really, I don't know if its just his boss or the state if employment at the moment in general that makes people think that they can treat their employees like crap! They seem to be of the mind that we should be lucky to have a job at all so can be treated like crap!

I'm so annoyed for him, and the protective part of me wants him to just quit and not have to put up with this treatment but we can't afford for him to do that at the moment. Although there is always the option for me to go back to work full time but I still wouldn't earn enough money alone to support us.

How's everyone else's day going? Better I hope lol!!
