    Well done Cath, great news :beer:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks everyone, payrise is due to increased hours and enhanced hours will improve due to doing 8.5 hour shifts instead of 6. My take home pay should be a 60% increase on my maternity pay - i'm rich!! :rotfl:

    No mention of me returning early, I'm back in 5 months which seems soon enough now we're this side of Christmas!

    Another item sold for £20 and cashed in £5 lotto ticket so have £25 to save or overpay. DH got paid £60 more than budgetted for aswell so having a pretty good day so far! Will pay that off CC I think.
