awww, its cute. your a very nature person so goes with your personality.

Not sure what I am except bonkers
 
Peanut I read your post this mooring with the link to the comic website in it. Maybe they took it down again.

Molly it was so stupid, I've been driving the new car so sensibly because it's not very fuel economic and I was behind a White van on the motorway. Stupid van pulled over and slammed the brakes on obviously cos he'd seen the cops, I didn't until it was too late. 64 in a 50 limit going out of town :cry:

Also I don't have you guys on facebook, Peanut and Molly, I'll pm you my link and you can add me if you want :thumbup:
 
Oh perhaps it appeared later... I guess I didn't look properly! Lol

Good luck for your flexible working interview Gilz. Remember they have to show it would have real and serious negative consequences for the business in order to refuse it and you can always appeal after seeking further advice from ACAS or similar is they are arses about it.
 
I cooked chicken with pasta and some veggies for tea tonight. BIG step for me :) Maybe the depression is lessening.....
 
Thanks Peanut, my boss was back today and she says that the director who now wants to be responsible for signing it off or not is concerned that if they approve my application it will open the flood gates for more parent to apply.

That's not a valid reason and so isn't my problem, if you don't want staff to be able to do it, take the option out of our terms and conditions then!!
 
ohh cool i'll tryand look.

Same goes for what I do Gilz, we have to be flexible and usually its great.wish daycare ran round teh hours we do or even opened at weekends
 
Blimey Gilz! You need to get them to write these things down or record them saying it. It's tough crap for them, parents have the right to apply whether they like it or not. Why can't employers see that a flexible employee is a happy and productive employee? What's the point in doing 9-5 in the office with 2 or 3 hours of commuting if your mind is elsewhere and in the end you quit from the imbalance of it all?
 
I love my job so will make it work, I think its more office based work that isharder to work round but i'veknown places open like 7-7 so youcan get them to nursery and do a full days work

lol molly I wouldnt worry about those obscure elements anyway. Most tables don't include them, only the major ones.

Madcat I just look like I'm carrying higher because I'm short waisted so my bump hits my boobs very quickly!
Click to expand...

i still often wonder the exact position baby could be lying in, head low- i know that,but all those fiddly movements can be felt around my flesh at times as low as my hips!
 
:rofl: I have to share this. My brother says that we should name the baby Jamal because no one would mess with a kid named Jamal Osborne. :rofl: Something about thinking it's a big black man as opposed to some white guy. My brother is going to be a great uncle :rofl:
 
lol they would get a suprise.

i think abby now spends alot of time lieing across my tummy.

we are now debating what toread to the bump jeez i'm sure he has lost it, this man is usually a neandathol but not now hes all enlightened
 
Ozzie!, LMAO!

probably true though, dont think id mess with someone with that name!
 
I am reading baby boo Matilda - a chapter a night, feel a bit weird speaking to him so thought Matilda would do the trick, hubby also brought home a whole load of classical music CDs that he wants me to listen to so will be adding these to itunes tonight - I though baby boo was quite happy listening to take that and michael buble
 
Ok sick bands no longer working grrrrrrrrr they have kind of dented my eternal wish to hug porceline all day long but i am still bring sick, i have tried ginger tea (gross) sikbands, crackers, full belly, small meals, big meals, no meals, water, i found that my mutlivitamins dont have as much b6 in them as is reccommended would help with sickness but i think will talk to midwife on friday before taking b6 i think grrrrrrr

it took me ages to get used to talking to ds after he was born let alone when he was in my belly lol, i used to have conversations with him in my head but its funny but i felt self conscious! this time round im a chatterbox baby will prob come out going mummy honestly shhhh! lol
 
Hey ladies, just checking in quickly!

Molly your making me feel bad, I have a masters in chemistry, maybe I should be educating my child more! Although James' new room I've decided is going to be nature themed as hes so into being outside and animals etc. He loves watching nature documentries more than any cartoon!

Peanut glad works going ok now!

Gilz add me as well if you like, well any of you can just send me a PM with your real name so I know its you, just so I dont add any weirdos! :haha:

Also Gilz I'll try and find you my 17 week bump pic from my pregnancy with James, I hardly showed at all! Are you failry tall? I am everyone says that makes a difference!

Girls Im after your advice and I reckon you'll be able to help. I've just changed my contract from part time to full time and I think they've mucked up my holiday allowence.

I usually get 20 days when working full time, I now work three days so to me I get 3/5ths which 12 days. Hes worked it out by doing 18 (my weekly hours)/40 (usual working hours) * 20 (number of days) = 9 I said this cant be right as you cant switch between days and hours?

So if you work it out in hours, I work 6 hours where as everyone else works 8, it still works out 12 days, am I right?

In my head that makes sense because I get four weeks off part time or full time
 
When you're paid full time it's for a set number of hours a week no matter how they are arranged. Say a full timer did those 40 hours over three or four days, they'd still expect to get the same amount of holiday as someone doing them over 5 or 6 days. So if you were getting 20 days for a 40 hour week it'll be 9 days for an 18 hour week. BUT each of those 9 days is worth 8 hours not 6. So:
20 days x 8 hours = 160 hours holiday
160/40 x 18 = 72 hours
If you're doing 6 hour days then 72 hours is 12 days.

Well I'm off to Durham shortly. Feel well sick this morning but have managed to get up and walk the dog and am scoffing some cereal to tide me over for some of the journey. It's always a nice meeting at least. Was going to get the train but would've had to leave ages ago and it's so uncomfy.
 
Thats what I thought peanut, thanks! I just need to convince him I'm right!

I'm sorry your feeling sick again! xx
 
Yup Pink i agree with Peanut and you, the 9 days caluculation is rubbish. The 12 days is correct.

I've sent you a pm with my facebook link so you can just add me. And nope sadly i'm not tall only 5ft 5" but i think it was maybe Ozzie that was saying she had no bump at all yet. Mine is getting there slowly, just hoping it continues to grow slowly and doesn't get enormous over night, otherwise between the bump and my now massive boobs i'll topple over :rofl:
