    Hi BB23,

    Good for you. £30 extra doesnt sound much but it all makes a difference. £360 extra a year isnt to be sniffed at!

    Ah, the joy of 3% inflation raises - slowly it all adds up :D

    I would say however, if you think you deserve more, ask for it - I negotiated my raise from 3% to 6% last month, plus with a full salary review at the end of May as I'm currently vastly underpaid for what I do in the local area!
