    Just been speaking to my boss about my pay rise, everyone should have received their letters on 1st April but we've not had anything yet. Apparently everyone has been given a 2.5% pay rise which I am really unhappy with as know I should be on and deserve to be on a lot more!!! But boss has said he's told the Director he would like to discuss my salary with him and get me more... there is someone here currently who they are trying to get out of the business basically, so when they don't have to pay her salary anymore, it means a bit more will be coming my way. Which I am pleased about but annoying that I have to wait for someone to leave when I should get it anyway.

    Morning all

    Emily, I am in a similar position re Job. Been in my current role for 8 years and as much as I would find it hard leaving some of my close colleagues I am ready for something new. I am also commuting over an hour each way (as I moved back to my home town last year) and I'm finding it all exhausting. Hopefully something will come up for us both soon.

    We were supposed to be up early to watch the planes at the airport but the snooze button was too tempting for OH. I slept through a few but then woke up. OH woke up, got up then came bake to bed and fell asleep! Just had breakfast and now hes up.

    Morning ladies, gorgeous sunny day here today! I'm just finishing off the last of the work that I have to do and then that's it!

    Thinking about going for a swim today, been to the gym all week so just fancy something different and I'm paying for swimming with my membership but have never used it!

    That's a shame Emily, I hate it when they just say you've been unsuccessful without any feedback, especially when you are qualified or experience enough for the job! Fingers crossed something else will come along.

    Emily - I would definitely ask for feedback as to why you weren't shortlisted. They may have just receievd a large volume of applications.

    Flossie - we got a 1% pay rise on 1st April! I will try and not spend it all at once. I can understand your frustration. On the plus side, be grateful you don't work for the public sector - you can never get anybody out. So much red tape.

    Lovely day here today - working from home this morning and then into the office this PM for meetings all afternoon. zzzzz

    It's proving a challenge to get this person out Lindsey... without saying too much it's all got very messy and HR are now involved. All this has been going on since before Christmas and they're still here. Could be months and months before they are gone!!! Better be a good pay rise that's all I'm saying. At the moment someone else is basically getting paid for the job I do.

    Just back from swimming, managed to do 45 minutes which is good since I haven't set foot in a pool since I was on holiday about 4 years ago haha!

    I don't need too much for honeymoon, I've got everything out and the only things I needed were quite a few tops, shoes and 1 or 2 dresses. I have asked OH for 3 tops and a skirt for my birthday which covers most of it and he has bought me a pair of sandals too. So I will probably only need maybe 1 dress and some shoes now which I will buy with any birthday money I get!

    Boss just gave me the hard copy of my pay review letter. Feeling even more p1ss3d off now I can see it written down in black and white. I've basically been doing a new, higher role for the past 12 months that I've received a 2.5% increase for, a measly £30 extra per month. My boss has reiterated he isn't going to leave it there but the point is I deserved a pay rise 12 months ago when I took an "unofficial" promotion, and if I didn't deserve it then, then I sure as hell do deserve it now... Why should I have to wait for them to get someone off the books until they can pay me for the job I am doing now and have been doing for the past year? Feeling grumpy now :-(

    The most annoying thing about it all is my boss is completely with me and knows I deserve more, yet it still hasn't happened! The Director is on holiday at the moment but hopefully my boss will speak to him when he gets back and sort it out. Was hoping for a couple months of new pay before the wedding... but hey ho!!!

    The first lady from my antenatal class has gone into hospital. She's not in labour yet but her waters have gone, so she'll be induced tomorrow if nothing happens. It's suddenly starting to feel more real now that things have started to happen for someone.

    Im gutted.... OH rang me earlier and said he's working until 1pm on Saturday. It's my birthday and we don't have his LO so was looking forward to a lie in and perhaps being spoilt a little. He then rang and said he's working til 4 so may get home around 7/8pm depending on traffic......

    That means he won't be home Friday night, all day Saturday, and he's on the railway Sunday day and has to leave home at 4.30am and won't be home til about 10pm!!

    Has he not thought about me once!? I know I'm being selfish and he's doing it for the money for the wedding and I appreciate that if the other job in Barrow had come up this week he wouldn't be here anyway but even still, I'm left on my own on my birthday....again!!

    I've got LO but you know what I mean!

    That was the original plan Michelle but he's thinking of the money for the wedding which I appreciate and understand but it's hurt my feelings a bit. Well a lot actually. I think he forgot it was my birthday, accepted the work then realised after!

    I doubt that GF lol.... He's not that forward In thinking.

    Just had a heart to heart with my LO which reduced me to tears!! He's confessed he's struggling with the whole situation of OHs LO..... he follows him round everywhere (cos he likes his company) and my LO isn't used to it and he needs his space. He's like me. He also said its not fair that when I tell William off, James's repeats everything I say and it annoys him too. Naturally, I've always had a rule that our bedroom is private! Occasionally William comes in and sits on the bed and talks to me but other than that, it's our space. I do agree with LO when he says it's not fair that OHs LO gets to come in (all be it, it was his first sleep over).
    We need to set the ground rules early before this causes choas!!

    I need to sit down with OH and talk things through.... If and when he comes home! It's difficult as I'll always put LO first when need be but I don't want OH to feel uncomfortable either. I'm between a rock and a hard place here.

    Just phoned Drs and got LO in at the Drs this afternoon. He's full of cold and nothing is clearing it. Sounds as though it's getting on his chest too so just want to make sure he's ok. He's been sick with it and struggles to get his breath when coughing too bless him

    Had a clean up, why is it nobody thinks about wiping th tiles in the kitchen, the ones between the window sill and work top were really messy so gave them a bleach.kitchen table not wiped down from after dinner. It's gross, and if I say anything I get moaned at. Think I might need to have a chat with everyone at the dinner table tonight, that way it's not aimed at one person in particular but everyone, even though hubby will take it as aimed at him.

    Off to body pump in a bit. Hopefully I shall be able to cope with it.
