Morning ladies,
Not sure if anyone can help me.....
My official start of maternity leave was monday just gone. I had 3 weeks holiday left and so 2 of them should go on this months pay and 1 should go on next months pay. However...... they have paid me maternity pay already!!!! GRrrrrr!!! Im so upset because its made me £300 worse off this month. The problem is its a family company so no HR or payroll
Besides going to the MD which my mum is trying to sort out today with him is there anywhere higher I go to?
When on maternity leave they are meant to write to you to tell you how much money you will be getting every month and also the first day back to work which they NEVER did!!! Aghh im going crazy and im so upset
Sorry Nikki that's rubbish
I don't know what to suggest, just go speak to them and explain the situation, somebody has obviously got confused but you need to get it sorted.
Deb - at my heaviest I was 11st 6lbs when I started SW in November '10, so 3 stone loss, but I got to 8.7 twice & went back up to 10.7 when I was sick with my neck & couldn't move.....my excuse & Im sticking to it LOL! Had a little blip lats summer when my fiend was dying & I was eating crap motorway food, but its been all SW & exercise. Its taken a long time, but here I am at target!
Donna - you will be hungry because of all your running. My DH has an enourmous appetite because he cycles a lot. Just go with it!
Nikki - sorry I cant help, but would the CAB be able to help, or have a look online. Hope you get it sorted.
It's crazy how hungry I am, but yeah I suppose your right. I've managed to fill myself up with chilli and rice for lunch.
Afternoon Ladies
I have weighed a day early today as Im on nights again tonight, so it was a choice of weighing today or Saturday morning, so today it was &..............
I HAVE REACHED MY ULTIMATE GOAL AT LONG LAST........8st 6lbs 12oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have spent the last 8 weeks 'maintaining' but slowly losing & it was the best decision because not only did I change my eating pattern by following EE with an extra HexB, but emotionally I felt better with it & it proved that maintaining for me is doable!
So could you believe when I stood on the scales & I saw 8st 6.75lbs, I was totally gobsmacked! The language I used is not for a public forum lol!
I've changed my profile now to maintain at 8.7 & will stick with that over the summer as we have a few functions on, but I will have a re-think & may drop to 8.2, but will reassess later on in the year.
I still hope tho that I see 8st 7lbs on the scale next Friday my 49+1 Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done that's fantastic
I'm sure if you stick with it you will still be happy with your weight next Friday
Donna how is little one today? ok i am assuming if he is away to school? Maybe you are just hungry like kim suggests but take it easy x
Little one is fine today, he was on form coming out with his little comments this morning, he was so excited to have his money from the tooth fairy this morning, he says he's going to save it for his holiday, so I'm trying to convince him its for spending now and that he'll have loads of money for his holiday. He also dreamt that I'd bought him some new trainers so he could start running and was disappointed this morning when he realised it was a dream. When I left work this afternoon his class were doing PE and he seemed really happy waving and blowing kisses to me
Well I've done my run now and will be taking it easy from now until Sunday for the half marathon (well as easy as I can, unfortunately housework still has to be done lol) I'm waiting for a dry day so I can wash the windows, they're looking a right mess :/
Well done kim that is fab. I had a word with myself today about how rome wasnt built in a day and i need to be patient and consitent with my excercise. Plus need to do SW properly again. Didnt stop me having TWO croissants for lunch though hmmm!!! anytime i think of doing sw i am put off and iam not sure why. To be honest i think its the breakfast issue - furit and yoghurt just wont do as it will feel like a hassle for me as i like cornflakes. Making boiled egg is a possiblity but already up at 545 as it is but not ruling it out. Dont want to syn my cereal either haha i want it ALL. Any suggestions ladies? I could have cereal bar but chocolate type thing in morning doesnt sit with me well and its the only flavour i really like. Being an ar*se i know but its putting me off. Can you guys post me some Breakfast Lunch and dinner ideas please?
will go on main thread too for inspiration. I need to lose weight before i start bingeing again. We are really low funds just now and i shouldnt have even bought the crossiants so its not as if we have cash for junk that i can binge on - just need to find a bit of inspiration?
I do have fruit and yogurt quite a lot to be fair, but only when I have something like pineapple in (I don't know why but I feel like that bulks it out a lot more) otherwise if I don't have time for a cooked breakfast I have something like syn free pancakes with berries and banana or rice pudding, the rice pudding is really easy as I make sure its already made up and just warm it up in the microwave in the morning.
I do like cereal as well though, shreddies are a new favourite, I like them with a little sweetener then they taste like frosted shreddies. I also love porridge, which is a lot easier to make then some people seem to think. I was talking to my boyfriend about corn flakes the other day actually as that's what him and little one have in at the moment, I was saying how I used to love them with warm milk when I was younger, but don't think I'll ever have them again, I don't think its worth synning cereal and when I'm off plan I still don't think they're worth it, I'd rather go off plan with a bagel, breakfast muffin or coissant lol
