Things That Gladden The Heart

[PJ87]

Found out yesterday something I never realised

I can transfer my Ncd to my wife

We have two cars but both in my name as I'm main driver

She's going to drive more so wanted to get her some no claims

Turns out my 4 years on car 2 could be put in her name

The brisket was tremendous btw ?

I followed Martin Lewis's advice on transferring the married couples tax allowance. I'm delighted, but the misses isn't too happy

Brisket in the oven for a long 6 hour plus cook, made a simple rub from a book which has some coffee in it ?

The oven....surely not!

Yes I know ?
It's crap outside so the oven had to suffice, it turned out tip top though.

Lots to gladden the heart this week... lockdown nearly over, got football, golf and badminton all booked in Weds to Sunday, plus today's payday.

Yep, I think our football training starts again on Wednesday, first game back on Saturday hopefully ?
Feels weird, I can't go to a pub or restaurant, i can't go round to a friends house, but I can grapple with some random blokes on a football pitch ?

I'm pretty sure you're not doing it right...

Yeah I thought it was strange after the last lockdown, but not complaining. I think the government has tried to keep sports running for mental health and fitness. We've got a league game Sunday, and our normal training venue isn't opening on Wednesday for some reason (when we have our usual booking) so we're hastily trying to book something at Goals instead.

Interview went well, asked about salary expectation, then said what’s the lowest you’d take??

Sadly I think that's going to be said to many a job hunter

Agreed to a point Amanda, but this particular project is getting billions put into it, but if you look after the pennies the pounds look after themselves.

If you can afford to not sell yourself cheap then stand firm! I feel for all those losing jobs and/or starting out on their working life...jobs will be scarce, loads of applicants and employers paying as little as they can get away with...

Its ridiculous in some cases Brian. I had a contract call last week and the job spec was massive and they were offering £250 a day INSIDE IR35. Half of normal for that role. I just said good luck in finding anyone
A weel later and another agency have just messaged me about the same role.

They will eventually get what they pay for and will crawl back to the market.

If they pay peanuts they will get a Monkey, I’m the right person for the job, but someone might take the job for a lot less.

Hopefully they figure that out and you get the role.

My working day today.....

Drive to the office, clear my desk, return my laptop, have a final coffee with a couple of the lads, hand my ID badge back to reception, drive home.
