    Yes, chocolate or golden, or even ready scrambled with chives and salmon might be quite a treat.

    MWC - tell the girls, no pressure;)

  • I've been paid :j

    This is my first "normal" payslip since the start of the new financial year

    pay rise + new tax code - slight increase in cost of life assurance/dental insurance/travel insurance = £43.95/month better off :D

    I'm working from home today (saving 50 miles of petrol and 1.5-2 hours of my time) as I'm expecting a delivery of 1 cubic metre of hard wood chips for the chicken run.

    I would looovvee a job where I can work from home.
  • My job is a nice mix of being in the office, visiting suppliers and working from home if I need to. One of my colleagues works from home every Wednesday which would be quite nice although I think I still prefer my working 37.5 hours over 4.5 days and finishing at lunchtime on Fridays :D

    The wood chip has been delivered and 15 sacks have been moved from the drive, through the house and temporarily stored in the conservatory.

    The sun is shining now so I'll start digging out the chicken run this afternoon :( Actually the chicken run is not too bad, it's the boggy bit at the bottom of the garden that's really grim... I very nearly slipped over yesterday :eek:
