    Had a job interview today, thought I'd absolutely flapped it, but apparently not as they've asked me back for a second one. Wasn't looking, quite happy in my current one, but could potentially mean a fair chunk in salary increase plus lots of proper benefits, like sick pay and life assurance.

    Interesting day, original plan was to sell my car and purchase the bike, which has now turned into “let’s visit the dealership next week and just buy it and you can keep the car” which has saved me a whole world of messing around and bother.

    Just had our annual pay review come through (well it came through last week but I was on holiday which was also awesome), and we have been given up to 7% this time (which I got) which puts me up near £47k.

    Add to that, the latest little batch of Kabanossi that I got from Lidl over the weekend is particularly good this time, and today is all coming up Milhouse.

    promotion out of the blue...
    13% pay-bump; and move to the better bonus scheme. 12% pa minimum; max 20%.
    Only downside is removal of paid overtime :/

    :grin::grin:

    Works surprisingly well tbh although due to the Series X being my primary console* I had to "slum it" with the Series S and 1080p screen. Ah well both are 60FPS.

    *Set to my wife and I can play together with just one digital copy. :)

    When I lost access to paid overtime a few years ago I just stopped doing overtime. Probably wouldn't go down well everywhere.

    Old… :jawdrop: Mal might be completely deaf and his eyesight is poor but he also only 10 months old… :hehe:

    It makes him even more special as he hums away to himself all the time.

    The good thing about electronic vehicles is that in the near future you will be able to double its current value by fully charging it!

    Passed my motorcycle theory this morning, booked my direct access for the 20th, arranged childcare for my daughter. Checked insurance on the Rocket 3 GT 221 and it’s not even that expensive considering the circumstances, probably should take out some life insurance.

    My work did that, and then didn't set it up properly on payroll for 18 months so I underpaid tax :duh:

    I just found a lone Jaffa Cake in my bag!!! I thought I had eaten the last one whilst waiting for the service to be finished on the car this morning. But noooo, there was another!!

    [​IMG]

    Proper awesome, although I am now somewhat reluctant to eat it as I know that this one IS the last one...

    Use that knife to clean cut it and just have half then you've eaten the last Jaffa cake but still have the last Jaffa cake left.
