Back pay from April

Hi has anyone else got their payslip? I don't know if I've got my back pay - would it say "pay arrears" on it? - think it should have been more than £130 even if I was on maternity for 6 months of it

I’ve just seen my pay slip too and I don’t understand it at all

Mine says~
AfC Absence Arrs Basic Pay Arrs OMP Pay Arrs Saturday EN Arrs x

Mine says basic pay arrs and afc absence . Mine wasnt much of a top up either. I’m going to double check with payroll as i’m unsure too.

my colleague's says Basic Pay Arrs - she's not been on MAT leave

OMG - I've literally just posted the same thing, however, I've not gotten anything!

I've just got arrears from my KIT days that I've done

ah right, i’ll be checking if i got back pay on OMP

Is the back pay this month? I though it was in next months pay xx

I’ve been on maternity leave since before April so all mine is based on maternity pay and I’ve walked out with £80 more than I usually get. I am top band 7 and 32 hours

When did you go on MAT leave? I went in November and I've been given nothing.

So i heard back from payroll for mine. i split mine over 9 months they said i dont get any back pay for it. I started my mat leave end of August/beginning september

Started MAT leave at the end of Aug 2023 or 2024?

2023

Oct 30th 2023

From speaking with people, I have a feeling that if you were on SMP by April, you won't get anything back.

I went on MAT leave 09/11 - I've contacted payroll and they said they were gonna look into it as I should have gotten something. So fingers crossed.

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
