    That's a lovely month for a bonus, mine is March and September. I get paid on Christmas Eve this year, just time to pay my bills before the festive shutdown :)

    I think I have done the majority of mine now! My brothers docking station turned up today and OH is going to get him a bottle of Amaretto I think so apart from a little trinket he is sorted :).

    The only person I am really struggling with is my mum, she ends up with the same stuff every year - slippers/PJ's/Baileys. Already got her a dressing gown and some body shop smellies but I have no idea what else :(

    it's only on months when the 28th isn't on a weekend that i wish we got paid on the 27th. Waiting that extra day is just soooooo painful. What's a bonus????? not had one of those since 2001, blimey wish i'd left it at 'ages ago' without calculating it exactly. 2001 is such a long time ago
