June 07 mummies - addicted to Mumsnet? Not us...

[riabutterflew]

Still here, though also watching tv with DH

Hello - I'm lurking, supposed to be working but the university server is down...oh well!

Pics are gorgeous Derlor

oh hi jammy, did you see the message i wrote you earlier re your HV?

My DD will be 21 weeks on Saturday....I go back to work at 26 weeks, so its like a countdown here

oh no LMN, well how about turning it around to - yippee 5 more weeks off work??
does that help at ALL??

OMG the thought of having a catheter removed without it being deflated ...I had one with em CS when DD was born, and I didn't feel a thing when it was removed...it is just too awful for words...

Not really ...am going back part-time though ...that helps a LITTLE

Asda have a cock-up on their website. 10 cans of Heineken for 10p!

ASDA don't deliver round here...bet they haven't made that mistake in store though!

Hows DS Foxy?

Yes, thanks Derloe, don't feel so "got at" now.

I'm now talking with my HR dept to work out when I'm going back. I know the date I want to actually go back into the office, but I want to take some annual leave before that. So when I officially return from ML depends on how much annual leave I've got left to take, but because I go back part time, how much annual leave I've got depends on when I return from ML. But looks like I'll be able to officially return on Jan 7th, but have my 1st day at work on Feb 4th.

Derlor, sorry.

Why do I find stomach crunches painful (all 10 that I did??) I have given birth twice yet exercising is HARDER.

My DD is 20 weeks tomorrow. I can't believe how fast it is going.

LMN are you starting work before xmas then?

Yes 4th December I go back ....my work is being sent to Edinburgh atm at massive expense so they were quite keen to see me back. I also go back to lots of leave which I will take Feb/March when my colleague returns to work from her ML.

Right off to bed...night all x

Beers for 10p??????

Poor you LMN, but at least you'll have Xmas holidays on the horizon to soften the blow a little.

Night LMN
Oh Jammy I haven't even had my 'am I returning to work chat' with HR yet. Thank god.

I didn't actually start ML til 4 June (was on "hols" 3 weeks before that). BUT ££ runs out very very soon.

I'm ignoring it all for now and will panic when DH can't cover my personal bills (gulp)

Night Delor, Foxy , Jammy and anyone else out there.

I have a funny feeling tonight might be another sleepless night for me.

I started ML on Jun 13th, Elsbels, when I um, gave birth! Money drops this month from full pay to statuatory (sp?) pay, so DH is going to have to start doing his bit. Not that they've got my pay right even once since I went on ML, but that's a whole different story.

Gosh, returning to work? Seems so soon. I do think there's some huge positives to it (like lunchbreaks!) and proper clothes & shoes, oh, and conversations with adults. And your own money. Just a shame that you have to do a job too!

Having needed a fix of two wagon wheels and a piece of Tiffin when I got home (no, it didn't quell my rage, obviously) I am thinking about taking on a new role - as a WeightWatchers Leader! Except they have told me I need to lose half a stone first I thought only size 6 models were told that

DS is fine, thanks. Seems not to have made a lasting impression (until we next go back, probably) DP and I, however, are still fuming.

Glad DS is OK, Foxy.

Mmmm, wagonwheels, not had one of those in a while

mmmmmmm tiffin cake. if you become a WW lady then you'll need to change your name as Foxy makes me think of biscuits!!!!

Well, I'm off to bed, can't bank on DD sleeping through til 5 again.

I've been checking out all of your photos on facebook. What lovely babies we all have.

Some fab pics on yours MJ! Very impressive.

you got your letter ready Foxy?

Foxy, I'd be furious. Make sure you write a really strong letter of complaint setting out exactly what was wrong, and copy it to the head of the hospital trust.
