Good to know this post garnered a lot of responses.
To give you an update:
1: The hospital appointments were to take my 8 week daughter for her check up and start of immunisation jabs. They couldnt do it on one day and so split it over 2.
2: I did offer to work from home as both appt are in the morning but the 'manager' doesnt want contractors working from home (apparently we cant be trusted and he has been burned before...his words) so days off it is.
3: Turns out he was happy with the handover. What he actually wanted was me to come in for 2 days this week as they had a new tech starting and he wanted me to handover/train him up (even though my replacements has been already prepped).
Needless to say I said no to coming in this week. I have started a new contract and first week is always about making a good impressions so taking off 2 days the day after i start was a no no for me.
As someone mentioned earlier, I dont work I dont get paid...so its not like they lost out on money or anything like that.
