I am an employee representative to moan about stuff like this (on a board of ALL MEN representatives I must add) and the person in charge of this really doesn’t like me and won’t even look me in the eye when I talk to him. His response is “I’m not obliged to provide you with a locker” and I say “but there are 20 lockers down there all seeming to belong to men” and he’s like “well i’m not obliged to so…”

But don’t you worry, I regularly kick off about this shit and won’t stop until it’s more of a female friendly environment here, It’s very male dominated (the industry and my company alone).

Fucking hell.

Do they have any cycle to work schemes or anything? I’ve been meaning to get something sorted at my place - we offer a bicycle loan through salary sacrifice, but it isn’t tax free. I think the fact they offer the loan means they should also offer a changing area and showers, secure bike parking and a locker for anyone who cycles, plus facilities for drying clothes (or at least somewhere to put them) but we don’t have anything like that. There’s one shower in the entire building for ladies and there’s a token hairdryer in there. Is there anywhere to plug it in? Nope. It’s stupid.

‘I’m not obliged to’ doesn’t make any sense. Go over this chump’s head meo, surely the industry needs less chodes like this complete berk?

We’d probably be bad for each other and go for a beer or cake after :smiley:

I had to look up what a munro is as that sounded a little bit rude that your bf is taking you up one! But yeah, that will be a great thing to do with your energy.

Will that mean you have quite a bit to lose? I’m never too sure the number on the scales is a good goal because I don’t think i’ve lost too much weight wise (I’m about 11 stone) but i’m soooo much skinnier than I was a year ago when I was probably the same weight! It’s so weird!
Yeah I noticed my back fat when I sat down cause I only wear high waisted jeans. Now that’s gone and i feel more comfortable?
All I’d say is take pictures! Then you can compare and be like omggg look at me i’m such a babe

At least you have a shower at your place - we have nothing at all.

Yeah. I don’t use it though, my commute isn’t really long enough to need a shower and given the hairdryer situation I’m not sure how I’d dry my hair :thinking:

Going home today after being away since Sunday. Will get to find out if I did leave the oven on… :crossed_fingers:

I’m on a skype call but I’ve totally zoned out.

If anyone asks me anything I just say “sorry I missed that could you repeat?”

:thumbsup:

Good luck @pinkybrain

I was up early too (5:30 for the second day in a row - makes me feel weirdly smug even though I’m knackered already)

Got to do some homework tonight but probably going to a soft play centre or something now to run up and down slides after the baby.

Had a life changing experience last night, found out you can make taco shells out of tortillas by baking them like this:

It worked great!
