Saving up my annual leave for later on

I used alot of my hols earlier this year as we went to the dom rep and am going away next weekend. But I still have 5 days so my official last day is the 25th Nov, I then have a weeks hols and mat pay kicks in on 5th Dec which is just over a month before my little one arrives. So only 10 weeks and counting I cant believe how quickly time has been passing its crazy.

 

Just found out I can use my annual leave before I go on mat leave! Which means I can leave so much earlier!!!! Im having a few snags with work at the mo where they keep chopping and changing their mind about the hrs I can do when I go back nxt yr. Its been a bloody nightmare and Im getting stressed again Went to personnel yesterday who said work hasnt got a leg to stand on and they are willing to fight for me if the s**t hits the fan, but Im worried that work will start getting nasty and push me out that way if personnel get involved
