    1984 - now that was a good year to be born in.

    80s metal/rock music still the best
    I've just been listening to "The Final Countdown" by Europe at neighbour annoying levels. Nice.

    Hey Lou! How are you? Whatcha been up to babe?

    I haven't been up to much. Just lots and lots of work. I was looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend, but I'm working both days as overtime now. At least it'll get me some dosh!

    I have started my new job now Steve, some days I really like it and some days I dont:rolleyes: ...kids have behaved this week so I have had a good week.

    They must like me as they are saying hello to me now in the corridors:D guess they were testing me out and now I have won them over and they realise that I am OK but wont take any !!!!!!:cool:

    Glad to hear that you're enjoying your job (at least some of the time). I have to admit that I love my job, but I'll never like having to get up in the morning. :mad:

    It's still on the table. I gave them until a week on Monday to put a formal offer on the table, and they're working on it (as well as 37,000 other things).

    It's actually looking rather promising. Apparently they can pay me partially through a stipend which is tax free, up to £15k. That means (on the £30k salary they're offering), I'd only be paying tax and NI on a £15k salary. I worked out that it would turn out as just over £2k take home pay per month! :D (I was quite happy about that!)
