Oh, that's great news! So pleased. I would have been doing my Jack Russell impression if they had said they wouldn't pay, after all you did the work and put yourself out for them.

(As you say - Jack Russells - small, yappy, sharp teeth and not afraid to use them - I do a jolly good impression of one when enraged, even if people do trip over me in the process).

Let's hope they have an attack of conscience and pay up quick.

(Ani walks into the office and stares down at the incompetent HR person who's failed to pay on time: "... in my account by this time tomorrow or I'll set Miggy on you." "Miggy?" "She's this Jack Russell I met on the Internet...")

And are they paying the other people too? The ones who were in the same boat as you? I hope so.

Well, it's wonderful to get some good news. Sorry it sets me off in a silly mood, it's a sure sign I need sleep. Got to be awake all tomorrow night so I mustn't stay up.

Night all.

Yes, twas good news, for sure. I have'nt even invoiced them yet, as the work has only been finished yesterday :rotfl:I was working solo on this particular job, so theres only me affected. I'm still trying to work out your job, miggy. My opinions keep changing, as you say bits and bobs, so now i'm not sure what you do, at all :rotfl:


Its odd. Throughout my time on mse, it feels to me, as if i've been bombarded with questions about myself, and mse clearly states, don't give out any personal information about yourself. So why should i? when i know nothing about anyone else? I often wonder what people look like in real life? Its clear, lots of people know each other, maybe quite well. Its clear, too, there could be people here living round the corner from me. Literally. But as in all walks of life, people survive in groups of people. Look at a lioness. The key to survival is by attaching yourself to a group. But occasionally one lioness comes along, and against all the odds, rears her cubs.

I've no idea what prompted this, what am i rambling about?


I prefer not to to see you as a Jack Russell, favouring the image of a goldfish. Much more calming, as you say :rotfl:



I wonder what happened to Aesop yesterday. I hope she is ok? x

I'm here guys just been busy.

Stayed late at work on Tuesday as I normally stay late on a Wednesday, meaning I didn't stay late yesterday but I did, as have so much work on, and monday is a bank holiday, so lost yet another day!
:mad: my boss, my proper Manager went out MOnday night for her birthday, I didn't go for 2 reasons. No money and I don't want to socialise with them outside of work, and was still drunk Tuesday.

Tuesday night she went out, came home at 6 in the morning. She is 50 odd, still drunk, drove to work :mad::mad::mad::mad: and it was her last day as she is off for a week. So kept trying to pin her down as needed answers to things so I could sort out while she was away. Hence why I ended up staying late again yesterday.

Am seriously thinking of giving up this job and seeing if we can get wtc for 1 income.

DS can go for free for 15 hours to nursery, and then I can try to find another job. This one just isn't paying the bills and food.

sorry offloading a bit, just getting a bit much for me all this.

I need to do DH's tax return first, as it will be based on his income,

just been offered an MS job, times like this wish I had a car! going to see if I can get there by train.

Okay. So maybe i won't go out to work today, but i deserve it, don't i? After all, i'm self employed are'nt i? The weather is inclement, which does'nt help, and i just have'nt had chance to keep on top of paperwork, again. But i should switch off the computer and utilise some time cleaning, if i've finished for the day. Still got to make sure my invoices are in for the beginning of the month, and theres yet another bank holiday looming.

Its been, well, what has it been like this week? A week when its hitting home to everyone besides me, that the industry is on complete meltdown. Jobs cancelled left right and centre. Maybe thats why i've lost the momentum, today. I don't have any real emotions about it, other than it hits home its not entirely my fault, i've never any money. Its just taken me that long to realise it. I don't want to stop working and go on benefits. Its just not me, or my mindset. In the ideal world, the choice now is to continue working, such as work is, but i've got to pull my finger out and magic that £100 plus, as it probably is, now, to pay my ni, which still has'nt been paid, as ever, so i can have my income supplemented from the state, at a level at which i can sustain life? Others are panicking about paying their mortgages. Been there, read the book, worn the t shirt, huh? Got enough of my own problems. You're getting so hard hearted. Mind you, i've got more sympathy than someone who has'nt been there at all. They simply don't care.


Just received pay advice in the post. I'm down on my uppers again, as i had to buy petrol yesterday. I'm only buying what i need, as every time i go to the garage the price has dropped. Down to 132.9p, now. Slow, but its going in the right direction. Pay won't go in until tuesday. Thats 5 days to last. Back to beans and peas. Got the £2 coins, too. Can't say i'm not trying. A 7 year old would have more success saving their £2 coins, than i am. But at this point in time, i just find it amusing.

No probs Aesop. I would'nt be surprised if you did'nt end up with as least as much as you are taking home, and if it gives you peace of mind and less stress? Decisions, decisions, only you and oh can decide. Do you already get help with housing benefit? The only thing is, theres alot of press about cutting back on benefits, but what has it come to, when you're financially better off not working, than working. You're in a stronger position, because you have dependants?


I remember one of my x's years ago would'nt work more than so many hours a week, it might have been 16? because they always said they were on an income of £17000 pa. I was astounded, and thought, even then, why am i going to work? They were single too, with no dependents. I don't know how they did it, obviously.
