nope. if they don't open next week then we are really going to be in trouble and we won't be able to do anything whatsoever for my birthday 
on the upside my boss has said if i wanted to come back part time, if the company is still here then, then i can do the evening and weekend shifts which would nicely circumnavigate childcare issues, ha. as thomas would be home... so that's something to consider... if it's worth it i might come back to work earlier as a result... but it depends on how we manage on his salary and tax credits really.

What does he do then that they aren't letting them back to work until next week?

Surely if its their decision to close he can't be penalised paywise? Bloomin' crazy!!

it's absolutely disgusting. and it is blatently being done so they can get away without paying. they didn't even offer the option of taking holiday instead. not that he'd want to as he wants to take that when we have our baby. he's a gardener. but there is plenty of work to be doing that doesn't involve digging in the ground. at this time of year a lot of it is cutting back trees etc and clearing leaves. they've had the odd day of no work before but it has actually been due to bad weather conditions. this has been since before christmas...

i'm not sure they can to be honest linzi, but they would find a reason to fire him if he made waves and we seriously can't afford that with the job market the way it is and a baby on the way... if he doesn't go back to work next week though we're going to have to go to citizen's advice i reckon. also going to look at our mortgage insurance policy...

hey everyone. sorry for being absent. thurs and fri were my days off and my mum is visiting so didn't get online. of course here i am today, at work, and bored, ha. it's a quiet day so far. i really shouldn't complain. i really really don't want anything broken that i have to fix!!
i am doing ok. i am shattered though. i'm sure i'm sleeping better than i have in a while, but maybe that's why. baby is currently awake and kicking me to thank me for the apple i just ate.
think i'm going to get myself a weak coffee and see if i can perk up a wee bit
ooh. and thomas is going back to work on monday *dances* so if we make it through the next week of no pay whatsoever we should be just about back on our feet. no savings, no paying off the credit card and a very frugal birthday for me, but we will have made it nonetheless. just shows how much we can tighten our belts when we have to... and before too long, we really really have to!!
