Thanks everyone for all the advice. So I'm thinking the best thing to do is get a licence in either myself or my husbands name. Should I wait a couple weeks so it doesn't look suspicious I bought one as soon as the summons arrived or get it right away as it could look like we moved in recently...

We are actually moving (to a different county) but it's been pushed out for another 6 months. We own the property and will be renting it out. I was just wondering if there is anything they can really do seeing as the summons isn't in my name. That person could have been here and now is gone...

So back in August a TV licence inspector called while I was working from home. I only answered as I was waiting on a package. We don't have Virgin or sky etc so I told him that although we still have a TV set that we don't use. I also said we aren't here long and are moving soon. He said you'll...

Hi, No I was offered in the settlement just over 1 weeks paid notice and then just 5 weeks pay as a lump sum but taxable. It is proposed though apparently and my job isn't terminated till the settlement is agreed upon and signed. My mum hasn't worked in HR in a good few years but she does...

Hi, So I have an update. I spoke to my employer about the possibility of reduced days/hours for now and see if things pick up. He said he’d speak to higher ups. He said in the meantime he’s still send on an agreement as it was already in the works and see what I think. I received it but it no...

Hi all, I'll try and keep this as short as possible. So I was called in yesterday and told my role would be made redundant and they are offering 5 weeks redundancy. I am 6 weeks short of being there two years to be entitled it but they are still offering it. (don't think they know this...

Thanks for the replies guys- sorry for the delay but for some reason I didn't get a notification of replies. Will check them out. Think we want something relaxed and intimate. Trying for as low key as possible wedding but we'll see how that goes lol

Hi, So we’re looking at wedding venues at the moment and we’re finding it hard to find nice places for about 60-70 people. Inviting about 80 so taking into account drop off rate. A lot of the venues that I have looked at weren’t as nice as I hoped or the reception room was too big for our...

Ok so i talked to my employer and he said if i'm not in agreement with the new contract with reduced holiday days then ill have to change my days back to the 3 days I started on (not working mondays). So I said i'd think about it. I rang citizens advice and they said the annual leave...

yes I agree I want to be firm but don't want to create a big issue either. Seeing as they only set up the job share role for the last girl as she wanted to change from working full time. They were against it at first. She then left a few months later on somewhat bad terms.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I haven't signed the new contract yet. I verbally agreed as wasn't expecting the meeting and afterwards I thought more about it and then checked the other girls contract and realised she was on the same amount of holiday days. I don't like confrontation but also...

Yes its a small company and I do think they don't really know what they are doing. I had read the link previously (thank you) you sent so I do think the person that doesn't work Mondays its entitled to 1/5th of their weekly wage. However can he just take away 3 holidays from me? Seems he made...

Hey, Sorry if this will be a long post. Basically I started a new job late last year and had a probationary contract with x amount of holidays. When I started it was 3 days p/w not including Mondays. A few weeks in that changed and one of the days I worked was Mondays. Its a job share so...

Hey thanks a mil for your advice. I'll try that and start from scratch as your right the items I have were inherited and don't seem to work well together. I don't mind if all of them end up going if it works best

Thanks Sue Ellen, Really appreciate your reply and no offense taken The sideboard that's currently there was bought a couple months ago for the kitchen and we just put it there for now til we got a new one as the space was so empty. So we could leave it there but we'd need something for the...

Or I could keep the current sideboard and get the matching open shelf coffee table and paint the legs cream? Thought the current sideboard is a little dark for the room though?

hey everyone, So i'm sooo undecided on how to bring our living room together. We painted the chimney breast choc brown and the fire place cream which I like the look of. We have and a brown and flecked cream carpet and duck egg/ brown/ cream /gold striped curtains. The couches are yellowy...

Unfortunately I can't work full time but even if I could the person I job share with is more qualified in accounting. I do day to day accounts and we have one day we overlap and I do other admin and she does monthly accounts then. So if she left they'd need a more qualified person part time or...

Thanks for the replies hmmm.... ya my role was messy and office politics etc were happening from day one. It took nearly all of my probation for that to settle down. Was a lot of new stuff to learn so bit annoyed I invested my time and its a specialised area that isn't as transferrable skills...

hey everyone, I left a permanent job as the role was changing so I applied for only other permanent roles as I didn't want the instability of contract work. So I had an interview for a permanent role and was offered the job. While discussing salary contract etc before accepting they said it...
