Random Irritations

Do not think I,have mentioned Kay Burley this week but she is still irritating. She was questioning a Minister today about Sunak‘s wife not paying tax in UK and her dom. etc Taking aside who she is, it is IRRELEVANT to my comment which is the line of questioning if anybody on here had the opportunity to do the same, albeit much lower figures who would say no? I certainly would not.

Also I am NOT one of her “ my viewers” and never will be.
 
Kids and wife coming home tomorrow.

Sure I have missed them but considering I'm nights this week the amount of stuff I've managed to get done with a free house is unreal

Repainted the kitchen from all the twins food marks

Filled some holes the dog made

Repainted the hall where the daughter is dangerous with the toothpaste

Touched up the nursery and eldest room as they marked the walls when they were unwell

Batch cooked meals

Even managed an emergency call from me nan as my grandad still in hospital and my parents are away and she needed some help

Kids are lovely but defo little time thiefs

That's not how I read it.

Going out with my team = either the company pays or we all split.
Cooking for my team = I pay.

I'd never ask my team to pay me for something I've made for them and it's not something I've ever come across to be honest. Seems like a recipe (tee hee) for disaster to me - what happens if someone thinks you're profiteering?

Just a question when you cook for your team how often is it and is it invited out or because your all stuck and work and saves everyone bringing in their own food?

The only time I'm cooking for my team is if I've invited some of them over for dinner or barbecue etc. That hasn't happened for many years now obviously.

In a situation where we're working and we need to eat it's expensed, we don't cook for each other like that. As I say it's not something I've ever come across. Cooking for someone is a really nice gesture but not one I'd ask money for.

I wouldn't have raised such an irritation myself - but since you have raised your irritation maybe it's worth pointing out that we are not all the wife of the Chancellor of the Exchequer - a CotE imposing tax increases on most, if not all, of us. I simply point out that Burley was probably basing her questioning on that fact, and I make no political comment and give no opinion on whether I think appropriate her line of questioning.

Besides - in my understanding it costs £30,000 to apply for non-dom status. I am not sure most ordinary tax payers earn enough to justify that £30k - even if they had it and had an alternative domicile country they qualified for and where they could pay their tax.

Ah see that's different, we don't get expenses for one. We always need to eat like I said room is staffed 24/7 365

For example my colleague Bobby cooks most weekends or nights he is in, we can't expect him to pay for us

Now and again he will treat the room if he had a good week

Like last time he cooked us breakfast I got the stuff and was on overtime so treated the room to breakfast

But like I said this is more than a twice a week thing

If you have a good team on (my night crew is pretty decent) you can cook most nights so that's a small wedge a week

Everyone always pays their own way
 
Our firstInstagram ready foreign secretary.. I see more of her social media.
As they said Trump was the first Twitter president, now we have an Insta FS.
Soon everything will be social. Elections by tick-tock anyone..
 
Rain. It’s been nice and dry all week whilst I have been inside working. I’m supposed to be golfing in 1 hour but the rain is hacking down and the forecast doesn’t look good for the rest of the day either.

They are. They have been preaching a new message of being better, treating people right etc but are cutting the amoun they pay to our local driver by 40p a package and she is an absolute diamond, nothing too much to help the villagers, even posts on the village facebook group if she cannot get some parcels out that day or has had an emergency that will hold up deliveries.
