Woo hoo! OH has got a commercial!

Hi All

My actor OH has got a commercial - his first one! He will be filming this week. What a great Christmas present! He will be able to pay off the one bad debt that he has - what a relief! It's not very large compared to some of mine but it is the only one that could have ended up in court (it is one that we hoped had been written off but we only found out recently that it hasn't!!). He will also have money left over from that to put towards the tax bill that is likely to land on the door mat sometime soon (don't ask!) and still have some spare so that we don't starve!!

needless to say, much joy in the PigginSkint household at the moment!!:j :j :j

    Well done ps - let us know what the commercial is and when it's being shown so we can boost the viewing numbers. :beer:

    I'm sure I don't need to tell you but make sure that you save the appropriate amount for tax & NI so that when next year's tax bill hits, it's there... And well done to the bloke :)
