Know what you mean, could not eat something that has been cooked in a sheeps stomach...
I'm good thanks, can not get motivated at work as I know in the next month or 2 I will be handing in my notice. I work in sales and our bonus is paid annually so the sales I make now means the bonus for that is paid in Feb 09!! How are you?

If it means you won't get anything, I don't blame you for being demotivated.
It'll be great when you've handed your notice in!I'm good today. A few very stressful things have been sorted.Although my OH has just taken on a 6 month work contract which blows my hopes of moving over by next May.
Still, it's money - which stops some of the stressy stuff.....

Re: the whinging pom , bars open
We married in a wee church in Banchory, near Aberdeen - only been together 12 years, so I was a bit worried that we might be rushing things!
We haven't emigrated yet Nicky, Brendan was offered sponsorship but we ended up turning it down
I was gutted to say the least!

Re: the whinging pom , bars open
So does that mean you won't get a bonus or you'll get a lump sum a year next Feb??

I was gutted to say the least!Oh no - I must have misread your 'cliquey' thread. I thought you said you had moved to Oz - just going over for another read.... What a b*gger your OH turned down the sponsorship - but you're still aiming for Oz??

I wouldn't lift a finger.
Fingers crossed for a quick visa decision and then you can tell them to go fish!

Well . . . . . Bing has just applied for 4 other jobs in Perth, our problem is that cos he's a petroleum engineer, he is not on the SOSL list. So he has to apply for jobs and then we get sponsored - nice but only ever on a 457 visa.
