Tia, we've got the Chicco 4me - that's parent-facing too Not used it yet, but looks nice.. Mel's got one too so she could give you a review.

Oh good, cos I got a bid on one of them Says it's sand colour, looks kinda blue but hey, I like it

And we (DH and I) put a bid on a loola, went for £73 and I didn't want to go higher than £65. Dh got 'trousers kisses and adult huggles' to quote SM for nothing :rolleyes: So he was tlaked into it... easily... :rotfl:

See just when I am watching the news .... when they talk about bankers and their big bonuses, do you think of branch staff bankers or just the big guys and investers ??

I always think of the managers and greasy palmed investors. Don't think they trickle down to the branch staff by the time the big wigs are done lining their nests.

My sister worked with Bank of Scotland for years, not a big wig but not in a branch either. Started at investment office as an office junior and worked her way up and got a degree thro work. Anyway...... She got a yearly bonus from when she started as a junior, Profit Sharing they called it and was a percentage of salary. By the time she left it was a good few grand a year.

Good luck with interview!

Happy Birthday 3!

Carla, I don't mind the 'Mum, mum, mummy'; it's the 'but whyyyyyyyyyy??' that gets me.

We do out a 'trial' letter to santa before writing on the proper paper, and its that one that goes in the memory box.

So am I not a banker ?? Its just, they talk about bankers bonuses and I get the impression that they think we all get thousands of pounds !! My best bonus yet was £1200 and that was because I was over target every quarter !!

Yey for your last day at work! I'm not jealous, honest!

And don't be disappointed if you dont' get pressies. People care less with your second, and even less with your third! :mad:
