Hi. All.
I'm still in plaster, but hoping the appointment on the 17th shows I can change to a splint. I'm getting a taxi to work on days where I have meetings and then working from home on days when I don't.
Calculated roughly what extras I will get this month from my extra work and also the September back pay for work. Hopefully it will be around £1300 after tax, which is a massive Christmas bonus. It's just going to pay off some debt and also pay for a nice Christmas without worrying if I get invited out and don't know how to pay for it. I've completed all my extra work but there still could be more.
I am so grateful for the opportunities I have to earn more and make sure things are covered.
Got a concert to attend this weekend. Looking forward to that as well. It's a brass band playing and nothing gets me more festive than this. I can't drive either so at least there's an excuse to have a drink!
Hope everyone is OK.
