    It is super low. Mine has crept up and was £380 last month :embarasse

    I was shocked that I had spent £2,000 in 6 weeks with my gold Amex (but the majority was on fuel)...:(:(:(

    Interesting day at work. Went in this morning feeling a little low about the job and when I picked up my work from bosses filing tray there was a letter from the accountant regarding his recent visit concerning this year's accounts. It said the girl who audits my bookkeeping will come down in March before year end to give me some new codes etc to use. ( thats ok will help me) Then there was a paragraph about me putting items in the cash account by mistake ( cause apparently I dont know where to put them - wrong I put them there as boss used his own money ). Then it said did I understand VAT as there was is some different way of charging VAT on used cars.
    The letter made me sound like an idiot and as I previously mentioned I do the books the way he tells me to. I re read it a couple of times and thought to myself do I really want all this hassle. Then I popped into his office and closed the door and asked to have a word about the letter and he was mystified by what I meant. I said it seemed like I wasnt doing my job properly and implied he wasnt happy with me. He just said if he was unhappy with my work I would know and the letter was just the accountants way of making his point that the boss runs his company his way and not the way accountants want him too.
    He said its their way of covering themselves in case there were a vat or tax inspection.
    I used the chat as an excuse to open discussions about my rate going up and we are going to talk about it next week.
    Feel much better about work now and DD is ill with flu and he is really good about me working to suit myself so he told me to not come in tommorow but make up my hours later in the week.
    So good result will report back about the pay rise next week.

    I hope you are asking for at least £2 an hour.... he sounds a right dodgy person!

    Saw this instore today and it's a really good size bag, in my opinion well worth the £10. Didn't realise it was still available online. :cool:

    I was looking to see if they had any of the cranberry handwash duos left but none as unfortunately one of mine was damaged. And as I had opened it instore as the car park was closed for repair today I returned all 3 as it had gone on one of others and couple of the plungers were up in the air so carrying back to car I might have ended with a bigger spillage, such a shame it smelt lovely. One was no good to me as I got one each for my girls so I got a refund there and then...
