  • Unfortunately garden leave is normally only give to trouble makers, sales people and the extremely senior.... on second thoughts could start it any day now LOL!

    I know, but I can live in hope, to be honest I may as well not be there, I have completely switched off.

    I feel a trouble maker POA coming on :D

  • Troublemaker POA:

    1) refuse to open or answer emails
    2) answer phone with 'yeah, what, nah' then hangup
    3) be openly obtuse and rebellious in meetings
    4) badmouth other staff in the open plan office
    5) pick arguments with all and sundry
    6) bully my staff by constantly changing what I ask them to do and blame them for getting it wrong
    7) undermine the rest of the management team at every opportunity

    If all that fails I can pee in the stairwell.

    Morning all.
    Have kept up to date with the thread, but there's not been much to update.

    Another £22.41 to my 'extra student loan' pot from amazon sales. I have £39 sitting at home that I'm not quite sure what I want to do with. I guess I'm just keeping it there 'in case'. I have quite a lot of extra money atm as I'm not sure how to allocate it yet. I desperately need new clothes, so I need to work out which ones I can afford. It's quite nice to have money that doensn't have a destination straightaway. :)

    Hope all are well.

    Proud to have dealt with my debts!

    Morning Tirlittan,

    You are doing great with the Amazon sales.

    Paid - good luck today

    SavingH - hope you get the job

    Well I have some great news. OH got offered a job so we are looking at moving to Reading at the end of November. I will be sad to leave where we are but it will be fantastic to have another wage coming in for 5 months before the baby is born. This will mean that we will defo have the credit cards paid off before the baby arrives, which will be brill.

    I am going to pay off some more of my credit card so that I am under 16k. That will be another milestone!
