Job centre on Saturday- WWYD?

[Chattycathydoll]

I posted last night about my joy about getting a new job. I had to reschedule a job centre appt as I was signing forms etc ready for start and they’ve allocated me an appointment on Saturday.

Not really sure how much leeway I have to reschedule but I’m panicking a bit as I have to take DD to her dad’s per our EOW custody agreement, yet in the notice rescheduling it says if I miss another one without good reason I’ll be sanctioned. Even though I thought signing contract for a new job was a good reason in the first place?! WWYD? Ex is very inflexible and I don’t particularly want to being DD to the job centre although have in the past.

Anyone?
(and I meant bring not being, thanks autocorrect)

Could you take your mum or a friend to the job centre. She could sit or take daughter for a drink or drop them off as planned.

Take her anyway with you , your finances are.more important.

As you've already rescheduled once - and congratulations on the new job! - it's better if you don't rock the boat by trying to reschedule again. She'll be fine there with you.

How late would your DD be to contact if she came with you?
could you offer to drop her off early or late?
if he is inflexible about it, then just drop her late. There’s nothing he can do. Do not miss the appointment and get sanctioned. Contact is meant to be for the benefit of your child, but you getting sanctioned will obviously adversely impact her.

What time is your appointment and what time are you taking dd to her dads?

If you have no childcare, take her with you. Will you be signing off with the new job? If not, have you stated you are available for work on Saturday, and have you childcare? Clearly, you don’t want the inconvenience of appealing against a sanction and potential loss of benefit. Good luck with the new role.
