Thank you!
Gah well job news aside what an awful day! One thing after another! Food messed up too as my Asda shop was cancelled 10mins before it was due to arrive, mum boss was 45mins late getting home and didn't think to call so I had to rush home to meet the shopping only to then pick up the message it wasn't coming. Van broke down and was not repairable so that will now come tomorrow. Planned dinner was in that shop so that went tits up! Had already had 1&1/2 hexbs but we had nothing in for a green day dinner so had to have chilli and spaghetti (rice was in the Asda shop too!) need to syn my 2 ryvita and call it an ee day. Need chocolate. Want wine..

Sorry if that's hard to read I lose my paragraphs when I'm stressed lol.
Waiting for a phone call from new mum boss in about 10mins so hopefully will have a smile again after that!

Hmm well not exactly smiling :/ my workings out of the money has ended up quite different to theirs as they have shortened the day by half hour, plus are taking off an hour for lunch which loses me 7.5 hours per week..
Didn't even consider they would not pay me for lunch (a nanny always gets paid lunch) so hope they will reconsider so I can get an mount of money that's worth me moving for!
Asked her to consider paying the lunch as I would never go out or expect an hour to sit down undisturbed for an hour, just hope they can do it, will be gutted if not, really want the job by cant afford to do it for basically the same money I'm on now

Oh hun that is a series of crappy news I've heard lots of bad things about Asda deliveries. They don't deliver here anyway, but I always just use Tesco. I completely understand about your lunch break. Do they think you can just leave the kids for an hour? No. If you can't get away it shouldn't be unpaid.

Well that's the normal thing for nannies but I guess as she will be there too most of the time, she just thought that she would give me an hour off for lunch, but I'd rather not have it!
She did say on the phone before i queried it that if it becomes apparent that its not easy for me to take the hour without her needing me back then they would pay me for the extra hour, so if they have already considered that as a possibility I hope they will be reasonable about my request. I also said if they couldn't do the whole hour would they consider just giving me a half hour lunch break so at least that's something extra for me. Just gutted that it won't be quite the game changer that it would have been if it was the hours they first mentioned.
Asda have always been ok for us, they only charge between £2.50 and £3 usually for the times we need so its cheaper overall than the there's, although I do use tesco or sainsburys if I have vouchers. Its being re delivered tomorrow eve, as long as mum boss gets home at a reasonable time I will be here to meet it. Totally threw me today, just glad I didn't have all the extra healthy extras.

Thanks hun, I hope so too! If they don't I'll still do it as it's permanent and long term, but the money increase will just about cover the extra petrol. Can maybe ask for a clause in the contract for a review and rise after 6 months or something maybe. We shall see!
Morning all, rubbish weather here today!
As my Asda shop didn't come I'm a bit all over the place with food today again as my lunches were going to be delivered! Think it will be a green day though as that's easier when scraping the dregs!
Breakfast - porridge hexb1 and banana. Milk from 1/2 hexa1 milk in coffee
Lunch- pasta with 1/2hexa2 laughing cow mixed through and veggies
Dinner - last night's planned dinner hopefully! Lentil cheddar bake and sweet potato wedges with salad.
Other b will prob be as a snack later. X

Awww sorry about the bad news hun, keeping fingers crossed they reconsider for you like you say if its not worth you travelling then its not worth it.
I never had any problems with ASDA deliveries when I used to get them, we just drive out now though and usually go ALDI and only get a little from tesco or asda.
Sounds like you're having a nightmare with them this week though, hopefully you'll have your food soon.

Fingers crossed the food will arrive tonight. The review and rise in 6 months sounds like a really good compromise

Aaaaaahhhh! They've agreed to pay the lunch hour so good news again now will be earning what my original calculations worked out at. Been on spreadsheets all evening planning savings and stuff lol
Also had a glass of bubbles and a piece of tiffin slice to celebrate the new job, didn't feel much like celebrating last night but feeling much more relieved now I know! No idea of the syns and to be quite honest feeling good so don't care tonight! Had my dinner as planned, was yummy as sweet potato wedges always are!
Tmi moment- why the feck is it that from thursday night-tuesday night I can go to the toilet with no problems, then as soon as weigh in is in sight I stop being able to go from Wednesday morning onwards! Feeling so bloated, must admit that did contribute to the tiffin slip up.. Feel like I've gained so may as well have a good reason for it!
Anyway feeling so relieved and got my finances planned out till the end of the year. My notice will be given on the 13th June, its my day off on the Friday, plus I have the Monday booked off as I'm going on a boat trip that weekend. Last working day will be Thursday 27th June ready to start on Monday July 1st. Will lose most of my last weeks pay due to holiday I'm having to take but won't have earned but pretty sure I've worked it out correctly so should be ok. As much as I'm looking forward to having the last 2 weeks of may off, now I know I'm leaving I'd quite like to not take the holiday and just get paid as normal but its one of the tweaks to the contract they've made without discussing it! Im supposed to get 4 weeks holiday half of which is supposed to be my choice of dates. They've booked 2 weeks in may and 2 weeks in August and told me I have to "choose" one of those fortnights as my choice and they will choose the other! Cheek or what! At least I won't have to worry about that though as wont be there for it.
Can't find my food optimising book, pretty sure I know the answer but a chickpeas a no no on a red day? I think they are but having a blank mind blonde moment! got some chickpea Dahl in my order (that arrived on time-yay!)and want it for lunch!

Sts this morning, bit stumped as other than my uncounted tiffin yesterday had a good week feel slim all week til I get to wed then the toilet issues start and all day Thursday I feel yuck and bloated! Might have to join minks in the scan bran challenge!
Plan for today, green day-
B- weetabix hexb1 with little milk from hexa1 and chopped banana.
L- chickpea Dahl with pepper and broccoli
D- 1 scrambled egg and tomatoes
After zumba- pizza toast! hexa2 cheese and hexb2 toast
Syns undecided as yet.
Got to work and the girls have been playing with mum's perfumes- a bout 10 different ones. She was fully aware just let them get on with it. Smells like a tarts boudoir in here now.. Got a banging headache as a result! Off out this morning so hopefully the smell will be gone by the time we come back.
