I need to share this with someone....
I am signed off work sick at the moment with stress relating to personal problems
Anyways, the postie has just brought me a letter from my work saying 'Sorry your not feeling well but hope the enclosed letter makes you feel better'....
Enclosed letter being 'thanks for helping the area manager meet her targets - heres £200!!!!!!
I am well chuffed. Big clap on the back for me.
I don't think i'll tell OH though and use it to pay off some of my nationwide bill cos the money to clear Next will be coming in my OT at the end of the month.
How happy am I :T :j :T :j :T :j :T

Now THAT is what I call MEDICINE !!

Great news and yes if you can hide your chuffed-ness from OH it's a lovely debt-denter.
Either way it's nice to be appreciated-especially when appreciation is expressed with pound signs

Thanks guys.
I honestly didn't think we would get anything. It was one of those things where the AM agrees to targets but gets others to meet them for her, meanwhile she gets approx £20,000 and we get a simple thank you.
I really really wasn't expecing any kind of cash reward but it makes you respect them a bit more for doing it.
I'll end up telling OH but i may reduced the amount by £150 :rotfl:
while i'm typing this, the girl has delievered the new next catalogue which i forgot to cancel - that'll be another £3.50 added on to the next billOfficial DFW nerd no 551 - proud to be dealing with my debts

LOVELY, hope the rest of the week is as good xBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
what a nice weekend surprise!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
