April 2007 - round pizzas and egg shaped bumps

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

(no idea what it refers to by the way, I have been very bad at keeping up with chat )

Yes, T needs his doing again - I think it must be the raisins! Think I'll stick him in the bath this time.
I must be quite lucky as T shows no interest in the toilet or bin, which means he can be in the room while I shower, although I do still watch him obviously, I'm not having to jump out every 10 senconds to pull him away from them.

Only popping in as P woken up

Sorry about house Caz

Hope drops work SOL.

All a bit mad here, P getting better and S up and down. All a bit unpredictable

Stressed.

Elkie, I distract ds with the catch on the nappy box at changeing time. Seems to work

With dd we used to put adverts on or the music channel. Still as can be when music was on It'd work for ds too as he's mesmerised by the ads and music

As for keeping them away from stuff they shouldn't touch, I have to say I use gates and move everything! With dd I was in the 'she'll learn camp' but quickly realised that me shouting all day was no good for either of us and the front room began to look very bare

Thank you Eddas

Elkie, I distract F with the clean nappy to hold, or the pot of cream. As long as she has something to look at she will stay relatively still for me!

CD, hope your girls pick up soon and you feel less stressed {{{{{hugs}}}}}}}for you

Just filling my form in about why I left my last job.

Whilst in maternity leave (April 2007 - Nov 2007) I was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression. I returned to work in December 2007. I was looking forward to returning to work as I really enjoyed my job, and to give me some focus. My job was in Caerphilly, and within a few weeks of returning to work, I began feeling physically sick at the thought of the journey to work. At the same time, a family member who had been assisting with childcare, became unreliable, which caused extra stress. Other family memebers were unable to help with childcare as they had work commitments. I spoke to my boss about the possibility of working from home, but due to the nature of the business this was not possible.
I was concerned for my health, and how it would impact home life (my children are 2yrs 9mths, and 10mths old) So after much discussion with my employer, I left.
I thought that we would be able to manage financially without my income, but that is not the case.

sorry, just re-jigging a few things

where are you when I need you!

Sounds fine runny, but perhaps a little too much info - you don't really need to give them the gorey details iyswim - I think telling them that the travelling time was causing you stress and was effecting your physical and mental well-being would be suffcient. Also change "me and my husband" to "my husband and I" You don't need to bear your souls to these people unless they ask - You are perfectly entitled to change your job if you want to - You need a "change of perspective" and a "fresh career outlook" in order to further and better yourself as an individual and to enhance your home life.

HTH

ikwym, but they (JC people) told me to put everything down

let me have a re-jig

runny, i agree with dippy, but if they have told you to be detailed...hmm..

If they has told you to write down everything, then I guess you could put down about the PND, but personally I would leave it like that - they don't need to know everything - you have a legal right to privacy. if they want to know more, they can phone you up. Just my opinion FWIW

I was concerned for my health,(as was my husband) and how it would impact home life (children are 2yrs 9mths, and 10mths old) So after much discussion with my employer, I left.
did you gp say anything about this? if so would def add it here

Me and my husband thought that we would be able to manage financially without my income, but that is not the case, which is why I am looking for employment closer to home.
Should be "my husband and I" (sorry, pedant )
also, instead / as well as this could you say you've had time to improve your health and now looking for something where the old problems won't apply (i.e commute). badly worded but ykwim

yeah, maybe not pnd, just health problems?
is this an app form or a general jobcentre form?

Agree (and I already mentioned "husband and I" [blush)

what do you think?-

I returned to work in December 2007, after being on Maternity leave. I was looking forward to returning to work as I really enjoyed my job. Within a few weeks of returning to work, the thought of the journey time, which was an hour each way, was affecting my physical and mental well being (I had been diagnosed with Post Natal Depression whilst on maternity leave) At the same time, a family member who had been assisting with childcare, became unreliable, which caused extra stress. Other family members were unable to help with childcare as they had work commitments. I spoke to my boss about the possibility of working from home, but due to the nature of the business this was not possible.
I was concerned for my health, (as was my husband) and how it would impact home life (children are 2yrs 9mths, and 10mths old) if my working were to carry on like this. Taking this into account, I left employment.
My husband and I are no longer able to manage financially without my income, which is why I am now looking for employment closer to home, which should eliminate any commuting problems

its a form that the Job Centre use to determine if I'm entitled to any benefits I only want them to confirm that my NI will be paid fgs!

oops sorry the pedants are revolting

and I did know about my husband and I - just was typing to quickly

sounds much better i think.
not sure if the sentence about the other family members unable t help is necessary?

I would say my husband and I too Am pedantic about things like that when writing official letters!!

Runny, sounds ok, but like the others said, you do have a right to some privacy. If you do not feel comfortable with baring yourself then dont, give them the facts and if they want more then they can ask. Tbh, I wouldnt even say it was a family member that was unreliable for child care, just say that permanent and reliable child care was difficult to secure for such early starts. You could also state that you now have cover in place (not sure who would read this, but if it was an employer they may think twice about someone without adequate provision for their children IYKWIM.)

i know runny, i do it all the time, especially the other way (saying that when it should be me and my husband) and I cringe when i read my own words!
