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!

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

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

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!!

- Ouch! - Thats a hefty pay cut

Unless you were on like £100k a year, its all relative then

Hmmm, I wish....more like £29k.

Relied on being physically fit for my old job.....then I got injured so had to move back to office work - hence the salary slash

Only good point is I have also had to give up callout duty YEY I have my life back again....just no spare money to spend during it!

lol...hmmff...cry

Aahh, that sucks - at least you got a decent office job back (well I'm assuming its decent with that wage )

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!

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

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

What's your Profession?
