  • Woo hoo pay day today... and its not good. All I got was an extra £16 ontop of what I though I would have :rolleyes: Actually my boss was amazed at how little I actually got a month :rotfl:

    So leaving my soa as it stands ~ bills/extras ~ £100.00 saved ~ £100.00 spare ~ £40.00 weekly money leaves me with £39.62 extra (there was money 'floating between accounts anyways). So I am going to have a mini blow out with that and buy my last and only craft stuff for the month (except glue) :rotfl:

    I have also set myself a challenge of making at least 30 cards from now untill next payday. If I acheve that I can have an extra £1 per card I make :rotfl: on payday for craft stuff. Just a little incentive to get some more cards made and also get some of this stuff I have here used up first... so here goes :rotfl:

    *off to pay some bills*

    Is that because of the tax changes PAP?

    £16 extra is better than £16 less :D

    Well gem... this month I was stopped £100 tax and last month £112 :confused: however saying that my gross last month was over £1k :rolleyes: and this month only £956. I dont really take much notice tbh. The only thing that got me was we cant have our p60's till next pay day :o I wanted to get this tax return sent out so they can bill me on my busniess :rotfl:

    Hmmm not too good, found out that two people in work are payed not far off what I am and they do less hours :rolleyes: Unsure how it all works however but at the moment I feel I am working for nothing. However my boss is now pushing for my pay to be upped to a higher level so I will get approx £80 after tax extra in my wages. Also I am comparing the amount of work I do to others and I feel a bit used of late, I seem to do a fair bit more yet get no priase/thanks/decent wage. But then I suppose a job is a job, beggers cant be chosers :rolleyes:

    Is it based on hours worked? Our hourly rates are based on our appraisals (which are meant to be 6 monthly, yeah right....) and if you hit targets then you get the increase.
    I know that feeling, I did the role of an assistant supervisor for nearly a year while still on basic sales advisor pay :mad: I just stopped doing it, if it's not in your job description then sod it.

    This might just be the tax hun, if they earn less then they will pay less tax, so take home pay will be higher...
    eg.
    They earn £100, and pay £20 tax, so take home £80
    You earn £150, and pay £50 tax, so take home £100.
    Not a realistic example I know, but it's the same with me, I make £8 an hour, and the people I supervise make £5.60-£6.00 an hour. And they still seem to take home nearly the same as me! :rolleyes:
