    My BMW suddenly started working as it should, started the car one morning and all errors had vanished, car drove as it should, Hybrid working, back to 60mpg as well - no idea how, but I'll take it

    Also finally looking at moving out, been bumped up for housing due to ill health (nearly 9 months of staying in the same house with my ex has been painful), start of a new journey?

    Downside? got a ton of crap to sell as money needed for my new place, but no where to sell it (no longer use eBay due to HMRC rules, FB market place is full of idiots and scammers, Cragislist? blah blah blah don't have enough posts on this account to get into the Market place :( yet)

    More than optamistic about 2025 :)

    Nowt to be sniffed at, that. Sadly, this year I've had a 3.36% pay cut - not counting inflation - 'cos the Orange Idiot has tanked the dollar, which is the currency I use for the vast majority of my billing. Sadface.

    My projects coming together very nicely it’s amazing what you can achieve when you fuel anger into something. That’s what makes my life awesome.

    Not at all, no. In the almost 18 years that I have been with the company, 2% is by far the most common amount that we have had each year. There was a 1% one year, a couple of 4s and last year was a 7, but on the whole 2% has been pretty normal. My current wages are not too far off double what I started this role on back in 2007 so not too bad really.

    My current manager has said that he thinks that the two of us in the technical derpartment should be paid more due to the level of technical support that we bring to the UK sales team (which we are currently a part of although we do support worldwide), and I do believe him saying that so we shall see what he comes up with.

    Managed to finish the review that's due Monday, so the rest of the weekend's my own!

    ...I should scan some magazines. But, then again, if I wait for the (second) new scanner, I'll get better results...
