    £7k, Small specialist retailer and training centre manager. Works out at a little over min wage, but I love my job and most of the time it doesnt feel like work at all.

    Could earn more, should earn more, pay review due in a few weeks as I'll have been here 12 months.

    Only work 3 days per week (24 hours) though so salary is pro-rated.

    Flexible Benefits: (eg paid for by salary sacrifice)
    Childcare Vouchers
    Extra holiday - 45 days per year
    Pension (company match your contributions)
    Extra maternity pay - hoefully coming in useful soon!
    Can't think of the others at the moment....

    I'm 44, work as Part-Time Customer Adviser for a Building Society. Only work 40 Saturdays a year (i.e. one off each month) and 365 hours a year to work during the week at my and my manager's agreement. I worked the extra hours out very carefully to make sure I am under the tax threshold, I currently take home £380 a month, we have bonuses each quarter depending on whether we hit our targets, last quarter I got £170 this quarter only £70. I'm only final salary pension scheme, get paid when I am sick and I also have an extra 5 Saturday's off as holiday. We normally receive £50 vouchers at Christmas but this didn't happen last year due to the current economic climate. We also get a nice uniform which we can choose what styles we want, £10 discount off David Lloyd each month which I take advantage of. There are probably other discounts available but I don't take them up.

    Only went part-time once I had children and this suits me as I can work when they are at school but not all day so always home before them, although I do work Saturdays it is only to 12.00 and my husband is at home so the children are taken care of. I am fortunate that DH can support us on his wage so I don't need to work more hours.

    Communications Assistant for an NHS trust. At the moment I don't earn anything as it's technically an internship, but my boss is looking into seeing if I can be paid for what I do as she's said she doesn't like paying me. I'm job hunting in my spare time though but I don't expect to get anything until I move to London, which may not be until early next year.

    I'm 21 by the way.

    ETA: Benefits are that I enjoy my job and have lovely colleagues!

  • Project Manager £25k (London) in Market Research industry. Benefits: private healthcare, partly paid gym membership, interest free travel loan - all looks good but I often used to work 50-60 hours per week so if you take hours in account the pay was much lower. Being made redundant 3 months ago and living on £64.20 JSA. I'm finding it difficult to find a job at the moment.

    Sales rep for multi-national chemical company, gross pay was in the mid-fifties last year. Work from home but spend over 50% of the time travelling around Europe (not ideal with 2 toddlers but partner is a SAHM) Usual holiday, sick pay entitlements etc. Company car, phone, private health insurance plus (and most importantly) a non contributary final salary (40/60ths) pension scheme - can't see it being free for much longer though! Feel very fortunate in the current economic climate.

    General Administrator - but do anything from making tea for visitors to Purchase Ledger and Sales Ledger. For a plastic injection moulding company 14k. As someone else has said if ever DH packs his bags and leaves me I'd be up a creak without a paddle!
    Banana Lovers
    Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning
