Ahh, thought it'd be something like that, but didnt know how many periods there were.
Surely that can't be right tho, as if he is on £10-£11 per hour(ish) like he said above, then he must be working about 60 hours per week! :shock:

Now that is a phat wedge Tom - I see now why you went for the R32 :twisted:

It's boosted up by having to be on call once a week - 79 hours overtime last month + 37 hours basic = 116 hours 8)

Won't be having that again for a long time though, we had big problems that month. my old man had over 100 hours overtime!!

Well its ok - £29k was the old salary though!....as well as company van.

It's kinda silver lining though....higher fuel cost to me but the polo gets more action! :P

I'm not sure whether to sell the Polo next year. I've spent so much on it though it wouldn't make sense to get rid. Space is more of an issue as I'd gladly have two cars

I start at 5:00am ish and get home about 6:00pm but the blow is cushioned by the £48k i cleared last year.

all depends what you want to do

my job is my dream job, within reason, I get down to canary wharf about 7 and go for breakfast (free) then i might do a couple of jobs, drink some coffee, then have dinner (free) then might have a kip or do some work, then i drive home to charlie :D

not to bad all in all,and the people i get to work with are great
