Hi girls,

Im looking into being considered for a late space however, I work full time.

Do you have any ideas, advise or even lies to explain im waiting to be called into having surgery at short notice and having week off after? I have decided not to tell work xxx

Hi just wondering, do u know if u want a late space can you still choose your surgeon or is it who ever is available? Sorry I don’t have help for your q ha, I’m self employed part time so shouldn’t be much of an issue with me! Xx

Could you pretend to have appendicitis and have surgery to have it removed? You would have to research it but just an idea 😉 xxx

As long as a year or two down the line you don’t actually get appendicitis!! Maybe you could go to an aunt in Canada’s funeral lol

You can self certify yourself off sick for 7 days and get £86 for that week.. And always get a sicknote or add on holidays if you need longer.. Plus u don’t legally have to tell ur work why ur off.. X

Well if u only need a week off u just self certify urself for 7 days.. And with the sicknote ur GP dosent have to state ”BA”.. If anyone asks questions just tell them its none of there business! X

Well I’ve self certified myself for 7 days so it can be done!! They can’t ask any questions because u don’t legally have to tell them.. They don’t no anything about it and don’t need too x

True but also matter of wanting a early space. Could be called with 4 days notice. Just call in sick for 7 days then may do few days unpaid after if not feeling up to it… but I really feel a nice cover story about why im off would be good idea to keep them sweet, maybe pulled muscle in my back or chest trapped nerve an cant move hence why im little fragile when I go back to work xx

I took holiday and when I went back told them I’d damaged my chest (which I had lol ) but said it was muscle, during the holiday. Best to stick to as near the truth as you can I think and then you don’t feel guilty blah blah

The late space discount is a must! You’re going to have to be as deceitful/creative a you can at work!!! Sorry that wasn’t really helpful!

Hey Sophie,

Have you actually researched late space Hun? I had my op back in August was late space you still get to choose the date of your op within the 3 week period and you still choose your surgeon and hospital most convenient only difference is you pay around a grand less! Hope this helps good luck x
