i know the feeling Sinead. I *hate* cancelling personal plans. I've become a bit more defiant. I don't get to work earlier than 630-700 anymore, and never leave much after 1730. However if you're not getting paid, then after speaking to your bosses I reckon some lieu time should be offered, or at least some form of PRP to reflect your dedication and hours.

I mean the odd bit of extra work to make your life easier is understandable, but constant excesses is OTT.

Good luck. Not that I'm an expert, but if you want to run through it with me give me a call - I have to deal with sort of thing daily, and I have a powerful union to deal with too :/

Well, I am still in work...

Got to love deadlines for EXTREMELY important clients, especially when things that are piss easy and should just work absolutely wont. Good times, its a good thing I am young!

EDIT: I didnt even leave the office complex for lunch, which means that I wont have left the building for 32+ hours when I come to go home \o/
