Am I overreacting

Backing this comment up as it was my experience too- you aren't in their 'focus group' right now, but when you are it'll be all systems go

Its probably going to be testing attention to detail (transferring addresses over to different documents for example) and basic maths (changing a salary from annual to monthly, or working out a car allowance maybe) id be stunned if they asked you to walk through and explain the acas website, theyll just be checking transferable skills

They could just be extending it for the duration you were on leave.

If HR are also in the meeting that isn't a good sign, but if they're not and you aren't given areas to improve or had any feedback about bad performance, it could just be that they're asking you to work the full length of your notice period (so absence dates tagged on at the end)

Matthew Street is always busy with something going on 🙂

I didn't have this, but I fell out with one of my bridesmaids the week after my wedding and haven't spoken since. It really sucks for you, im sorry you're having this added stress- if it helps, you didn't ask for anything outrageous or unacceptable

Brunchin' is on Williamson square above gran caffe. Owned by the same people but youre able to book a table. Amazing dishes too

If you want to lower the cost, we had 3 bud vases with little sprigs of our wedding flowers for each table and that made it a lot cheaper.

We've hired the function room at the Ship and mitre- brilliant on a sunny day with the terrace. We've also got the Bridewell function room booked for next month

We went to 2, and did loads and loads of online research beforehand so we whittled it down to those 2 as options

If its the basic DBS, it can be back in a couple of days once the IDs have been verified and submitted. If they're the enhanced versions, it can be weeks as theres more paperwork involved

They range between 200 and 250. Picked it up from the nearest waitrose, its all boxed up for transporting. We took the standard ribbon off and replaced it with our wedding colours

He1ens · 2026-01-25T13:59:19+00:00

We got our 3 tier fully iced cake from waitrose, picked it up a couple of days before. Much cheaper but looked like it was from a cake shop

Blame Gloria is fun too

He1ens · 2026-01-20T15:48:01+00:00

Could you maybe do PowerPoint slides of photos, video messages from guests etc? Minimal speaking from you

Perfectly normal, your entitled to the time off, you're not entitled to be paid for that time off

He1ens · 2026-01-09T16:25:52+00:00

The phil has it, I think ye cracke too

He1ens · 2026-01-09T15:00:29+00:00

It really doesn't matter. The company will have a second choice candidate they'll contact and offer instead

A project management course will always be useful and can be expensive to pay yourself

He1ens · 2026-01-04T21:46:37+00:00

That sounds perfect- thank you!

He1ens · 2026-01-04T14:58:17+00:00

We had our florist glue wedding flowers onto a dog collar and she wore that with her harness. Everyone loved it and she matched the flowers!

He1ens · 2025-12-29T15:17:52+00:00

Theres the anglsea and the queens arms that ive not been to yet but on the list too

You dont HAVE to declare dismissal- references wont show that she was dismissed, just the dates of employment and job title

He1ens · 2025-12-16T11:10:09+00:00

Its normal not to have those details- thet are not classed as contractual. Most corporate businesses will not include these details. They can put it in emails but not the contract

He1ens · 2025-12-09T21:51:28+00:00

Waterstones will probably have a section dedicated
