Hello Gonzo!

Hello

I do, but I'm rather IR35 caught in this gig. I billed an extra £500 this month and saw precisely £180 of it. It gets to the stage when you just can't be arsed to do anything more than the bare minimum!

OK, I can understand the lack of enthusiasm.

Mrs Gonzo gets a £100 ad hoc payment if she works 4 hours on the weekend (she is not supposed to get anything at all but they realise they will in serious doo doo if people don't do any overtime).

I have tried to explain that after NI and Tax this means she only gets £59 and it is not worth it and she has listened. So there is not much incentive for people paying permie taxes to even bother.

Feel a bit like Mrs Robinson though....

Nah, don't worry about it. I spent a couple of years engaged to a girl 5 years younger than me, I don't think it really matters. (Unless he was 17, then you'd be Mrs Robinson )

It is well crappy, but the client's just given me a 6 month extension with potential for more to come, so I'm trying to keep them sweet - not too confident about the market right now...

I wouldn't worry.

When I was 28 I went out with a 19 year old for about a year. It turned out to be the most grown up relationship that I had had.

My ex husband was 6 years older than me so I reckon in my head, I am rebelling.....

It's different the other way around.....

2UK's gone all quiet. I think my teasing him about losing his virginity has scared him away.

Looking for the dictionary, probably...
