OMG, it's freezing and I need to go outside to get to the hairdressers!!!!!!! Brrrrrrr!
It's warmer here today... car was reading 1'c rather than the nice -4'c yesterday.
Lily I asked the question this is what the response was
Can cover this on the call voluntary attracts the same benefits as compulsory in terms of stat payments and enhanced package. However in this instance pay in lieu of notice is offered therefore those selecting voluntary redundancy would not be requested to work their notice as in most compulsory cases.
If you don't need to work your notice and the payment is in lieu, it means that your notice will/should be tax free. Rather than if you work it you would be taxed on it.

Thanks Lily :D wish me luck guys meeting is in 30 mins

Wow I'm getting depressed! Inputting everybodies bonus and what they are getting is a bit depressing.
However mine is still on the input sheet... maybe for once they won't revoke a bonus due to somebody leaving!

Roads are clear, gritters have done a good job, got an inch at most but only on pavements now, Its also starting to melt as it is about 2'c today. You should be fine. M5 outside work window is moving like nothing has happened.
It was not that bad as Drew still cycled to work this morning!
Whoop whoop we are all being sent home :D

not really surprised although i have not yet informed my Manager as I can't get hold of him so that could be a bit of a shock for him as his other PA has volunteered too
Hey Anna

Yay thats the way to go!! nothing like totally putting the mgt on a back foot!!:D
Thanks Q & T they are the latest cakes to come out, I am gearing up for xmas now... my gingerbread men were very good so another batch will be made this week.. it saves on spending money on presents when I can just give those out ;)
We have just had a hail storm I am most upset with!!! It isnt supposed to be cold here!
Yay thats the way to go!! nothing like totally putting the mgt on a back foot!!:D
we shall see what happens he hasn't answered his phone yet to me today so he has no idea yet
i just hope it comes out the way you want it T! I'm off to book flights today too. Think we both need cheering up and something to look forward to!
I think it will do they have said it would be unlikely voluntary redundancy would be declined so fingers crossed
I didnt realise things had got that far T!

Hi all,
I see where your coming from Mr Smith as my mates next door have been off all day.
The lucky beggers have been off today as they both work in schools that were closed.
As penance they must suffer me drinking all their cider & suffer my nasty homebrew wine!
p.s. Just popped on to say hello, I'll be back on later when I've supped them dry.

We had snow yesterday but it didnt settle, it just turned everywhere wet, one girl in the finance department chucked an almighty strop because she was told that it wasnt bad enough for her to go home.
Havent been outside today, tucked up in bed with the dogs. Not feeling very well. Cant get warm, body aches and dont like being very far away from the toilet... not very pleasant.
Awwww no Fizz... hope you get better soon- I hear puppy cuddles are the best medicine!
MM- enjoy your trip I hope the snow doesn't upset it.
In other news it's snowing again! :(

That sounds horrible Fizz. Gimme a shout if you need anything. I need to go to Mole Valley later so will be in the area.
Sounds like you should stay just where you are. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm ok Ta. I dont need anything Liz has left me plenty of supplies, shame I dont feel like eating anything though.
Just drinking plenty of water so I dont get dehydrated. Under normal circumstances I'd say pop in if you are in the area, but I really wouldnt want you to catch whatever it is I have.
gruntygiggles
01-12-10, 11:39 AM
Yeah, no worries. Another time though...I can't believe it's wet with you. We still have snow on the ground here from Friday. It's stayed below freezing the whole time.
