Hi all,
I know it may seem quite far ahead but me and BF are looking to TTC in the next few months and I am trying to consider my work changes.
With the cost of childcare, I would be better going down to 3 days a week at work. I currently work 5 days 8:30-5:00 which comes to 37.5 hours a week. I'd still do 8:30-5:00 to maximise the hours.
I am a receptionist and also organise a lot of events for the company which are usually on the first Thursday of each month and 1 Friday once a quarter.
I would like to have Thursdays and Fridays off as then I would benefit from bank holidays etc. As another girl in the office is off Mondays and Fridays and ends up losing out on hers somehow. 
How do I say to my boss I want to work Mon,Tues and Wed, but the week we have an event on I will swap my day without coming across too demanding?
