    Hi all :)

    Really sorry to hear about your work MFD :(

    Grrrrrr :mad::mad::mad: for noisy neighbours!

    We took Caitlyn swimming this morning, she loved it! Her ring still hasn't come but we just bobbed about with her in the water :)

    And I still love the Zia! It's so light and easy. It would be handy to take when I go delivering the Avon books but the shopping basket isn't big enough and they're quite heavy. Got my extra lot of books coming tomorrow so will have a couple of hours delivering those. I have orders of £65 so far from delivering about 19 books. I've got some more to collect in tomorrow evening too.

    Thats just statutory maximum. Think indivdual companies would be higher. Most say a months salary for each year.

    ETA: Awwww, wee blondie!!

    Oh really!! Now that would be MUCH more interesting!!! That would be pay some money off the mortgage-type proportions. I guess it will be somewhere inbetween.

    I guess I need to go to the meeting on Wednesday and see what they say. I was gonna have Wednesday off but I might take 7th off instead ;)



    Ooo - hubby is back with the babba - off to have some fun xx

    My current company and the one before it, both offered 3 weeks' salary per year, or a month's salary per year if over... 50? Or 51 or something.

    I want to apologise about all the things I said about my husband on here.

    None of it is true and I made it all up for attention seeking reasons.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Can't think of any of my conquests (;)) whose name begins with A so maybe it's not me. Wish it was though that'd be cool :D

    Really?
