That whenever I get my nice little jigsaw of part timers and silly hours sorted into a nice little pattern someone leaves?! Why is it parents don't drop their bombshells all together?! things change so fast don't they?!
I work Fridays for just one little one (though I sometimes squeeze in an ad hoccer) about 6/7 Fridays in a ten week rosta as dad is a police man. This is the screamer I have had since march and it has taken Til now to settle her, I wanted to give her notice many times but mum is lovely and appreciative and baba is a pet when not crying! I only took on her silly hours because I had a little fella who did three days one week and five the next and it fitted ok, but then he left! I stuck with it though and now she is pretty good. Last week I got notice that my Monday boy is going back to France, so I thought I would see if baby F could do Mondays instead of Fridays so I could have every Friday off. They can only change some weeks but are willing to and will reduce my Fridays down to 3 out of 10 so slightly better. But now her mum has said she is pregnant and will finish work April! I am thrilled for them they are such a lovely family, but now it's a mess
Again! She would like to leave baby F with me one day a week when on maternity whichever day I can do, and then ideally for me to have both in December which I can't see being possible as it's only 5/6 days a month.
So now should I fill my Monday space (not really worth moving her day if it's only gonna effect 4/5 Fridays between now and April) or leave as is until April and then fill two days (she takes a Thursday space and I fill the weeks she isn't here ad hoc) I wouldn't mind but I spent my quiet hour while Los sleeping today advertising my ad hoc hours and really I should have been advertising a 1/2 day space if only I had known grr!!!!
Sorry helps to write it down hope u are still awake!
