    hi debbiedebt

    just wanna say hi and welcome aboard the folks here are really friendly and we have a good laugh.
  • i love the far side! i used to have that book too - it's probably still at my mum's. i think it's an american thing (?) - like a little comic strip, it used to be in the papers. x

    I loved those books. Some excellent cartoons in there. I do like "alternative" humour.

    hi to all our new peeps & big congrats to tilly! what a great start to our PAD week :D

    just to add to last night's chat, i don't iron either. at all. i am clearly some kind of relation to terri (american cousin perhaps?) in the smoothing down approach. i also tumble dry some stuff. and i don't buy high maintenance clothes ;) life's too short - but i have heard of quite a few people that use it to wind down, so whatever works, eh?!

    PAD today *****1.09***** and i'm back on track with another no spend day. cleaned today - hoovered, dusted etc (finally! been putting it off for ages) and batch cooked chili, which i must deal with in a minute (been in slow cooker since 9.30am), and made a pile of meatballs (some eaten, some frozen) and also a bread and butter pudding with some leftover smartprice teacakes, which were pretty horrible as teacakes but lush as b&p pud! and changed all beds, and 4 loads of washing & it's all put away :T

    so feeling pleased with myself, as have been really struggling to get myself motivated the last few weeks...

    have a good night all xxx

    £1 today - think I went a bit overboard at the start of the month hehe! Gonna make some little pads for a while now untill it's closer to the end of the month, don't wanna accidentally run out!
    On a brighter note, I was informed today that I am actually entitled to two hours pay for planning the tutoring work and not just the half hour that I claimed for. Thats an extra £35 quid coming at the end of the month! :T

    Todays PAD = £4.78

    Bit of a strange day today having found out that I will get a bonus for my efforts in 2008 but it seems to carry some wierd terms.

    I'm hoping for about £2500 gross, however only the first £2000 will be paid, with the remainder being paid in annual installments over the next 3 years.

    I suppose I should be pleased to be getting the bonus, but I'm strangely down about the whole situation. I think it's just insecurities about the future.

    I know I'm in a much better position than a lot of others so I'll be grateful for what I've got.

    On another note, part of the bonus will be being spent on purchasing some portable studio equipment so that I can build my photography business.... speculate to accumulate eh !!

    Ooh you work for the same company as me :D I can tell by your weird bonus :rotfl:

    I have the same feelings of blah about the bonus situation. I just hope I won't have to use it - most of mine is going to my "Oh Sh*t I'm Redundant Fund". My department still don't know how much we're getting, poohsticks.
