    Thanks everyone!

    It is such a huge relief, and obviously wonderful news financially. I don't know my gross salary exactly yet, but as soon as I do I'll be able to work out what my take home pay will be. The payrise takes effect from September.

    Plans/jobs to do for the next few weeks are:

    1. Increase mortgage OP from £100 to £400; - DONE
    2. Look into First Direct bank account that gives you £100 when you join;
    3. Get a couple of bits on ebay (I've been meaning to do this for ages but the weather has been so lovely I keep avoiding it :o);
    4. Spend the £30 in my Paypal account partly on ME :D and partly on sis-in-law's birthday pressie;and
    5. Open up a new savings account (my ISA is full, and I want a decent-ish other account to bung any spare money in, then OP in chunks as and when I can in addition to the regular monthly OPs).

    But, all of the above can wait until I've had some champers (okay okay cava :o;):D)

    A very happy and sparkly ATB xx
