Ok, I've had to book a driving test in for monday 8:40am, was unavoidable else I'd lose my provisional entitlement.
Whats the best way to broach this with my boss? Seeing as I'd end up in work between 10 and 10.30, its not the biggest loss in the world, I could just call in sick for the day (I'm agency staff anyway so not a major crux - but still dont wanna piss anyone off).
Should i let her know tomorrow (thurs) or just on the morning make up some lame excuse like my bike has broken and i need to wait for a lift or ive got a tummy bug or dentists or something lol.
Im scared about her kicking up a fuss and saying i cant come in late on monday and then if i do pull a sickie its sooooo obvious.
What should I do?

It's just short notice because I always think 08 is october. My entitlement runs out on 21/08/07 and my test originally was for next saturday. now its on teh 20th, at 8.40am, in the middle of town, in rush hour.
Should be funny.
But just scared in case she pulls a funny!
DVLA arent at fault in my case, I booked the wrong test originally, and my entitlement runs out on tuesday, so ive rescheduled it for monday morning. An hours ay doesnt bother me too much, its the prospect of letting down my boss I don't like
Just explain the situation, surely nobody is hrash enough to give you stick for having a couple of hours off. You can always make them up.
Good luck anyway!:)
Generally they'll be a lot happier knowing in advance if it's only a couple of hours than being dropped in it.
