in Debt-free wannabe
Got the little white envelope I have been waiting for on my desk which is my payrise! I cant open it im too scared!

Also when I do, how do I know how much it works out each month for my new amount. after tax and nat insurance etc. I know there is a calculator on the net somewhere but dunno where! :confused:

Still far too scared to open it!
