  • Thank you @SpendingPennies and @powerspowers
    Yes @powerspowers it is a tricky one isn't it. Part of me thinks this job will be lots more stress for not much more money but I'm hoping it will lead to more promotions in the future, we shall see! 
  • So got paid today and my pay is £300 higher than usual.... 
    I've emailed the bursar to check as I don't think what to spend the money and then have to pay it back!
    Would be nice if it was correct! 
  • Pay is correct! We have been given £6 per week for working form home! Bonus..
    Now what to spend it on. Tempted to overpay £150 and spend £150...
