    Little update on the continuing saga of my boss is an idiot. This month he has only paid us half our wage, with an assurance that the rest will be paid by wednesday. It had better be :mad:

    Actually had final payment yesterday as he paid in installments- without telling us he was going to do this! Some people still not had full pay yet. He is quite out of order :mad::mad:

    Considering swapping to giffgaff. Currently top us £15 per month on o2 which gets me unlimited texts and 500mb web. £10 per month on giffgaff would get me 250mins, unltd txts and unltd web. More..for less. And I can keep my existing number.
  • Laura - my brother swears by GiffGaff, I'm going to give it a go when my contract ends.
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    Hi Laura.

    It's against the law for the boss to do that, you know. They have to pay you on the due date. I wonder if they have cashflow trouble?
    Anyway, hope all is well : )
  • Heyyyyy just had a wee read through your thread & I am hoping to be debt free by December 2015 so I think we should be DFW buddies!

    You do have a choice in this though I wont just stalk you haha.

    I am in debt to the tune of just over 12k.

    I think its great that you have the support from your OH's family & its defo gonna help you on your way.

    Dxxx
  • Oh & by the way what your boss is doin is shocking!!!

    Dxxx

    Yeah, definitely has cashflow troubles. I could bore you with all the ways he has cocked up... basically this is entirely his fault.:mad: I had a strong suspicion that this was basically a breach of contract. I'd go get a job elsewhere only I don't really know what to do with my life and feel like I should change my life for the better not for more of the same old sh*t.. I am thinking though.
    You do have a choice in this though I wont just stalk you haha.

    Oh no! A Stalker :eek::eek: Feel free to stalk away, at least makes me feel like I'm not entirely talking to myself :p Although you will soon realise I do talk to myself, hence 'musing' as I'm generally talking out loud to myself, well, not talking..typing. Oh you know what I mean :o :rotfl:

    Yeah, it's a pain. And looking likely to not be sorted by next month :cool:
  • Musing - thats why I love this thread its great to read your rambling reminds me of myself LOL.

    Well I spent some money on my CC today - my bad - Still trying to change my spending habits I will get there in the end.

    I will just need to work a bit harder to pay off the overspend next month.

    Dxxx

    Hi Laura.
    I guess you will make the move from your current job when you are ready.

    You're doing great with your debts! I have got mine down to under £6000 for the first time in ages :)
