I'm Currently Feeling:  | Maternity leave
I've worked out that if I start my maternity leave on 1st September, I've got enough holiday to take August off too, so my last at work will be 1st August - only about 6 weeks! I'm so excited!   |

It really hadn't crossed my mind that I could go that early, so definately worth looking into! some people prefer to go as late as poss so the have max possible time at the other end. I'm going to take a year (if I go back at all) and wanted to enjoy th summer/spend time chilling whilst I still can! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I need to work it out
My boss thinks I could be off in September, but think I will use my holiday first and start my official 'maternity leave' later.
I am moving house on the 27th of Sep, and by then I'll be about 30 weeks gone - I'm a tinsy bit worried.
I need to still be at work for the 17th for a Career development thing, but might try to time it to leave the week after.
Ohh too much to think about, it all takes planning!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Thats fab, you've not got long at all!! 
I'm hoping to work on for as long as I can but thankfully my employer is really flexible so if I need to finish sooner I can.
I'm planning my last working day on 16th September and I'm due on 10th October and then I'll be off a bit longer with bubba (hopefully 9 months).

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Congratulations that will fly by and then you can have a nice rest before babys born.
i still cant decide when to go yet - ive put in for a transfer to another store cuz we move house this week so i think it depends on what happens with that but they dont rush themselves lol. At the earliest i can go at the beg of September xx |
