I think I put the willies up them (so to speak

) and sent a firmly worded email requesting a meeting and displaying my concern they were interviewing. Had a very long meeting with my support manager who tried to tell me it wasn't an interview and that I was in the loop, but they couldn't contact me as I was out of the office blah, blah, blah. Eventually I got them to admit it would look like an interview to an outsider and that it was unprofessional for me to have to deal with other assistants enquiring about where I was moving to. They also tried to tell me I hadn't told them I was interested (when I had - but only for the mat pay haha!) and we went back and forth over that. We've now left it that I will contact nursery and come up with some 5 day a week flexible, working time proposals for consideration and they would halt all other hiring options for now. I've had a headache all day!
Also because of my email, nothing more has been said about my holiday. I emailed back and said I needed that day and couldn't be flexible. I also emailed and confirmed I had consulted the company's HR leave policy and I would like to take last week as Personal Emergency (at the manager's discretion we're entitled to 5 days paid a yr)

I've honestly done no real work today!
Now I'm being taken seriously, I'm going to keep the pregnancy to myself which is why I'd rather take holiday. Its close to 2.5hrs for me to get from my office to the hospital, so not worth my train fare to go to work and OH and I never spend a day together alone. Im planning brunch beforehand!

As OH put it, pg is my trump card and its even harder for them to discriminate me legally, if I'm pregnant!!
Fingers crossed for a lucky, squiffy cycle Hun!
Snow - have you thought about when to let work know? x
