After two fabulous weeks of glorious sunshine, amazingly warm turquoise seas, great food and great company I have returned from my hols today.
Since being back I have already shouted at the neighbours kids for kicking a football so hard against my front door then running away and hiding behind a car to pretend they hadn't done it - evil:
I have sorted through piles of mail and bills cry:
I have a pile of washing to do and little inclination to do it noooo:
And worst of all the prospect of work tomorrow .................. pcwhack:
I need something to inspire me ....suggestions anyone confused2:
-
Well, we were here when you came back – something to rely on like a comfortable pair of old shoes… whistle:
-
And from our point of view ~ You are back ...... which is a very good reason for us to be cheerful. cloud9:
-
Did you burn your luggage?
-
Welcome back. Did you have a holiday romance?
-
Excellent Uncle.I shall await news with interest.
(GOes off to get some popcorn)
-
Snoopy / Barman - ahhhh shucks thank you ....you can always be relied upon eh angel1
Nick - didn't burn my luggage - I did with parts of my body though - ouch cry: Although they were selling OMO in the local shop and I did actually think of you and laugh - in a good way of course (not like they do on here lol:)
Uncle - redface: I had one proposal of marriage which I took to be genuine of course noooo: But a couple of lovely nights out cloud9:

Don't tell me you're jealous, Snoops? eeek:

I am reminded of a poster advertising Club 18-30 holidays which I saw many years ago.
It read
"Something deep inside her told her she would come again"

At present, the only reason to be cheerful I have is that I am not dead.
-
But if you were dead you would not be un-cheerful!
-
Reason not to be cheerful:
I'm off to meeting with our insurance broker and a couple of insurance company reps shortly.
DULL, DULL, DULL.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

"I want to fook you in your shell-like."
Is that the 'aural sex' people keep going on about?
I obviously had quite the wrong idea. redface:

Reason to be cheerful.
I survived the meeting. (just eeek:)
Even the rep prefaced a couple of remarks with "I know this is a bit dull but..."
-
I loathe meetings... noooo:
-
I'm not overkeen on them myself. Best to be in the 'Chair' so you can speed them along.
-
I do every thing I can to avoid meetings, my time can be spent better elsewhere for most of the time I'm in there.
I have a meeting of sorts later this afternoon, my first job interview in 19 years. scared2: And on Friday I have a second job interview to attend scared2: scared2:
-
Crikey! - good luck.

I am no longer invited to meetings in my place - apparently I am "confrontational" and "dismissive of others". And that's before lunch...
Still, not long to go now... cloud9:
-
I used to get out of going to meetings by pretending that I had another meeting to go to somewhere else
-
Not a meeting as such.
I have an job interview on Friday - job is near Epsom horse track, interview is in Reading. Just been sent details of the interview -this is after a 30 minute tel call yesterday, woth the helpdesk mgr.
Your interview will be in four parts as follows:
· 20-30 minutes with F for HR Screening
· 20-30 minutes with R, the Helpdesk Manager and client relationship manager for Toyota
· 15-20 minutes with one of the technical consultants to gauge your technical experience and skills
· 30 minutes for an aptitude test
Oh and if there is a Toyota person around, they will talk to me as well.
I haven't been near an aptitude test since 1972!
-
Aptitude for what?
-
An aptitude for Young's :-)
-
I shall be supping, very soon.
I think the test is to find Reading, even if it is by train.
-
Reading should be napalmed.

So from where will he get the cash not raised by stamp duty?
We are indeed doomed. noooo:
According to the Radio News as I was driving along about half an hour ago the plan is not to scrap the stamp duty but rather to "defer" it so that you don't have to pay it immediately on completion of purchase but at some date in the future (yet to be decided). Estate Agents, Mortgage Brokers and Lawyers have all voiced strong "concerns".
Utter bollox of course. Just another way of pretendingto help whilst sending people even deeper into debt. How long before some bright spark at a mortgage company comes up with a plan to include the stamp duty in your 25 year loan.

Reading should be napalmed.

We did suggest he baled out when this all started. I know it's hard to leave when you've been there for many years but sometimes it is the best option. Bugger the pittance that redundancy may offer ..... he has already established that they are only going to pay the minimum and that depends on there being any money left once they go under ~ and I think we can all see that they are going to.
Career choices ~ anything would be better than nothing but what can he do? We have no idea what his qualifications may be, nor what he actually does now (apart from spend time here and support Leicester City).
Anyone can do anything or be anyone if they really want to but I would recommend multiple income streams. Three or four part time jobs are better than one poorly paid full time job in the current climate. If he has a pension built up over the years look to secure and then add to that from his part time incomes, if he hasn't then forget it. It is now too late to start a new plan and any pension accrued from now on will only serve to kick you in the nuts when you need to claim benefits in old age.
Do not get on this "I've never claimed benefits and don't ever intend to" stupidity either. You are entitled, you have paid in and when the time comes take the b@st@rds for every penny you can get. What you don't claim some other sod will.

Nephew ~ referred to earlier ~ does this in Dorset. He has a partner and has "qualified" as a tree specialist
(This is a series of week long and one day courses spread over a number of years at various agricultural colleges).
His declared income is £30k plus per annum from contract work for various councils and does not include the cash for logs on the side.

As an afterthought ~ Statutory Redundancy is based on average earnings over a period of time prior to the actual redundancy ~ thus it would seem that acceptance of a lower rate of pay could well result in a lower redundancy payment when the time comes.

Yep the cut off limit that the goverment have imposed is 20 yrs so anything over that dont count
he would get 7,000 thats the most he could have....so much for all that loyality, but as i said they aint got that to pay him off anyway!
cant wait till we pensioners as i am going to claim what i can, as we dont have property or any money, as in our age bracket now we cant get anything as we dont have school age kids anymore, so nothing we can claim for although we work etc! so pay in an cant get anything out!.. noooo:
the working tax creds system amazes me, i know people who earn more than us and can get hundreds a month, because they work it out on yr previous yrs earning. I know child tax creds are diff you can get them if u earn quite a lot. shall i have another baby...NOT! scared2:

As far as he is concerned if NuLabour want to throw money at him he will have it. If his accountant shows him legal ways to write off his assets and income as depreciation and expenses, he will do.

Money and scruples usually are mutually exclusive. Unfortunately.

I assume you have plenty of scruples then.

The first 30 grand is tax free, the rest is likely to be taxed at 40%. You can still claim NI/jobseekers though as it is contribution based for the first bit.
Once that has expired, it is means tested.

Mrs TMR (to be) signed on today - we have paid in, thus we shall take out.
Which is sad.
maybe, but get what you can, you work hard enough! whistle:

Technically Job Seekers Allowance is not a benefit as it is not means tested. Income Support, Council Tax Benefit etc are and with them redundancy money is taken into account as are any savings, premium bonds, wife's income etc.
-
However much it is it will still be counted against any benefits you try to claim. Find another job and forget the pittance.
I am about to start CV writing. I am looking into what is required on one these days.
I am advised in an employment article in the local rag that they should nowadays be written exclusively in the third person. eeek:

We recently did a round of recruitment. I love looking at CV's - some people are so bloody stupid.
There were 2 that particularly stood out for me..... one bloke wrote 6 pages of his life story in the additional information section and then signed off with "much love xxx". What a prat.
The other declared he had convictions - so we had to contact him to ask for clariification of what these were. 1st conviction was for possession of an illegal substance. 2nd conviction 2 years later was for possession of a dangerous weapon (he said he was a trainee chef and was just on his way to his mates to cook dinner and so had bought his own knives happy001. 3rd conviction was for intention to supply.
Then he proceeded to want feedback about why he was not shortlisted Banghead

It is contribution based for a certain amount of time (mine stops in November) and then it becomes income based.

As it was smoking, I took the opportunity to light a fag as a near final display of defiance!
The powder extinguisher made an holy mess after, mind...
