I got a pay rise

:T

I noticed I've never had an increment in my job, only cost of living rise. I brought this up on Feb 06 and have been chasing ever since. Someone in the office asked for one last month and it's been sorted already so I got on the phone earlier and it's now sorted and will be back dated till April 06 and will all be an extra £850 a year (before tax)!

thats about £450 being back dated, after tax for December :D Looks like the credit card will be paid off for March 06 the way this is going :T

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

1st Baby due May 2011 :o it's a BOY:j

    Well Done to you.
    I started a job on Wednesday on a casual part time basis so I have decided that whatever I earn from this (some months maybe nothing but some months it maybe £100) I will put straight it into paying off my debts.

    Congrats :beer: I don't think i'll get a very good pay rise in April. Perhaps 4% max.
