    Hi All ,
    I`m Self Employed Too !!!
    i Think The Virtual Xmas Party On 20th Dec. Would Be A Brilliant Idea .
    It Would Be Interesting To See How Many Self Employed / Sole Traders We Can Get .

    HI all,

    I don't get anything except the thrill of not having to work for two weeks over the festive period (I used to work all the holidays in last job).

    My hubby used to work in a large brewery and guess what......... no Xmas party at all!!!!! They definately couldn't organise a p**s up in that brewery!
  • Iam another NHS girl ( no longer a student nurse!!!) I'll be working christmas day (late shift, 2-8.30) and ......................guess what............get no bonus !!!

    OH gets a annual bonus in which something like 8% is paid at christmas and 12% in Feb. Usually totals about £1500 after tax.

    I don't get a bonus, though I've just been awarded a payrise that will be back dated till april 06 and paid in my christmas paypacket - extimated to be £450 after tax for me :D

    DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!
