As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details.

I'm only using up 2 weeks of maty leave as well, the rest is my years holiday entitlement. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yeah I wish I could start in a couple of weeks as well because nothing in our house is ready, but they haven't got a replacement for me yet, and they need at least 4 wks of training

I'm Currently Feeling: | I am taking 9 months mat leave and then going back to work for 2.5 days a week for 12 weeks to use up my holidays. By then it will be the end of March and I will still have 6 weeks to use up by end of September! I am still undecided whether I will be returning full time or 3-4 day weeks. I'll worry about that next year once I have to go back! |
