    My boss just called... I've been promoted :D

    ... and my bonus isn't that bad either... 119% of target, so better than a poke in the eye... just need to do the maths and work out what the pay rise is! Best news is that promotion means an increased car allowance...

    Congratulations and well done... you should be very proud of yourself!!

    Congratulations greenbee!

    Kazw - just pm us - it'll be fine - we won't tell anyone!

    Been to fetch DH's car - it only needed a couple of bulbs so that was good. Kids complained about having to walk but there's a playground behind the garage which they didn't know about so they had half an hour on that while Jerry raced around the outside.

    I'd better crack on and do the dishes from dinner amongst other things. HHC @ 4.45 anyone?

    Just returned from a lovely catch up with LadyL - I passed on your hugs juliejim, but I missed yours serena (hope you're well) - I expect she'll pop on here later at some point even if she doesn't post though, so I'm sure she'll see it. We chatted about all sorts over coffee, so hope she's not too tired.
    :rotfl: I've had a lovely sleep ;) Thanks so much for the "purple buttons" & the "link" :A xx

    Well done on the promotion, what are you now?? :j:j
    I'm a Director, but as I work for an American company, it doesn't mean quite the same thing as in a UK company... next step is a Vice President, of which there are many, many types...

    Congratulations, greenbee. That's great news, well done.

    Nope... won't change the job... I've been promoted because I'm already doing the job at the level above the one I'm on (significantly above). I'll still be working with ex - we're doing a series of briefings together this summer, for which we have 12 dates booked already. Hopefully we'll manage it OK.

    Need to do some maths tonight... firstly to split my bonus between ISA and mortgage, and then understand what my monthly income is going to be once the new salary kicks in (actually, I don't know when that's going to be...). Still, at least its nice maths :)
