    Looks great

    :D

    Have you listed the netbook yet? do you know roughly how much you are looking at for it?

    Thanks :D.

    I am looking for £70 - would take £65 if I sold it direct and didn't have to pay ebay fees etc. Don't know if you might consider that? If so, pm me your email address and i'll email the photos to you when I get back to London on Sunday xx

    Just noticed my Oz salary is actually $70,343 from 1st July 2012 - I start August.:j

    The shifts allowances are AMAZING!

    Afternoon shift 15%
    Nights 35%
    Saturday 50%
    Sunday & Public Holidays 75%:eek:

    Worked out my hourly rate @ $35.50 so almost $70 an hour for working a Sunday.

    On top of this my employer pays 10% super, and there is the opportunity to salary package. A bit like what we have here only this includes paying your mortgage and leasing a car direct from your salary before tax is deducted. I'll have none left:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Sister in law's birthday on 19th March - hoping for a moonpig offer between now and then. Yes, I am that tight.

    Another (busy) little bank shift for me tonight in Maternity Triage - expecting a nice little £200 for this :D.

    Going out for a meal with the girls from work tonight - 2 courses for £10 or 3 for £12. Bargain:beer:.

    Just printed off the Yates free cheeseburger and chips with purchase of any drink - that will do me and my hubby for a nice little lunch for 2 when I get back next week.

    Been chatting to some agents re: renting our house when we go to Oz - they think around £700 - mortgage is only £386.:T

    Back with a proper update when I'm not surrounded by pregnant women puffing and panting:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Oh yes and tomorrow due another £200 bank money. Need to pay the deposit for the staff accommodation soon so might not be able to transfer this to the savings. Will see how this week goes.
