Lol i planned 9 but then decided I had enough in savings to take the full 12 months (last 3 months unpaid) and then had 2 months worth of owed annual leave 

100% behind you on that Carlie

I worked in the construction industry, away from home weekdays and often weekends. This back in 1983 when my son was due. Things were very different. My wife was given a two week timeline and I had one option only -  book my 2 week annual holiday entitlement to cover this two week period and hope for the best. No extra time off. No unpaid time off available to me.
What a nerve wracking two week period that was. My son was born 10 days into the two week period so I did get to have a few days with them both.

Oh wow stressful!    I thought as she's my last, 2 is plenty, I'd make the most of it this time around 

Sorry I'm beginning to get a bit disillusioned with Howdens.
This year exactly the same quote for cover and legal as last year BUT just like last year the admin fee has jumped.
I queried whether our site discount had been applied and was told it was off of the premium,  last year had the same conversation but was told it comes off the admin fee which was then reduced.
After nearly 12 years with them I'm getting sick of being treated like an open wallet rather than a valued customer

A-plan never did this.

Will start shopping around again when I get home, not what I want to do so sort yourselves out please
