    I have absolutely no idea what I will earn this year because I work for myself for much of my income. All I can say is that it will be between £0 and significantly higher, hopefully towards the top end of that scale.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    The most I earnt once was £56/hour - to sit on my bum watching others work .... and just make any decisions that needed to be made to ensure that a national building society's branch wasn't completely bugg4hed up by the work that was going on, that I'd planned and was overseeing the implementation of, via a huge screen with data/stats on it showing systems progress.

    I also had to decide at what time to order pizzas all round.

    I do miss being an IT contractor. That was in 2001, right before the dot com bubble.

    None at all here!

    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    But then, lets just say one year, after everyone getting between 3-5% for the last 5 years your boss says actually Sue, you are a star, we want to show you how important you are by giving you 20%.

    You know the rest of your buds will still be getting 3-5%. Still want to share that info with them?

    I have had that experience in the past...I kept schtum about my actual bonus/payrise and just went with the average that others were getting (usually had been told to keep it quiet).
