    Way have u got to loose. No-one can ever have a go at u for giving something a go and just think of all the money u r going to save not having to pay out rent. If u and yr partner have both made the same decision then by all means go for it. Just think wat a great start in life u have been given to be able to get the sort of money behind u. I wish u both luck in wat ever decision u make and just remember 1 thing and that being u need to do wats best for the 2 of u. Goodluck.

If you elected to take those 3 weeks pay in one sum at the start of your holiday, the same applies, it is three weeks pay, so 3 lots of weekly tax should be calculated and deducted. Not the whole total taxed in one amount. Is this helping at all?
    Yup, I understand that cheers, its actually a really big help because they are not going to be happy when I hand in my notice

    Hence why I suggested resigning getting it paid out as a lump sum. Just watch the tax thing though, some people dont know enough to calculate holiday pay tax correctly and just tax the lump sum amount. If you are concerned flick me a PM I have the tax tables here so can check to make sure you have been taxed ok.

    Cheers. I might do that after I place in my resignation. This will only be about August though

    If you really wanted to be cunning and sneaky go and see the payroll person and ask for a printout of what leave you have accrued to date, you know, so you can do some budgeting for the wedding and that sort of thing

    That will give you an idea of how much you are owed, and I can give you the tax on what it is to date.....then you can plan how fast/slow you can spend it till you are earning again. Anything accrued after that can be spending money when you go to Aussie......sweet!

    Well, the cogs are in motion

    Back from a nice holiday in Australia where I managed to get bitten by an Ant, a spider, Pirentee and centipede. Almost got nailed by a python, but they are too obvious when they try to bite you. Was great, really enjoyed the peace and quite and the time.

    Anyway, on my day back I handed in my resignation to finish in 3 weeks time. A few folk are sad to see me go. I was offered $1k more a year to stay but I wasnt interested. For more than a few reasons.

    Time to pack and get everything sorted and hopefully get rid of some old kit that I no longer need.

    Hopefully be able to catch up with you lovely folk in Blenheim after Sep 14th

    Funny how that happens. How come you weren't worth the extra money before, eh?

    Same happened in my last job. Asked for a pay rise - twice - was refused both times. Handed in my resignation, and the boss flies down to Dunedin - asks me to "name my price". Needless to say, I wasn't for sale...

    Anyway, good luck Sniper - hope everything works out well for you & Miss S.

    Yea, I have asked for my review a couple of times and nothing has happened. Oh well, their loss

    I hope you laughed at them... if I was offered a 1K pay rise, I'd be bloody insulted!

    Well, a few boxes of gear are in Blenheim now as well as all my fun toys like the PS2, books, knives ect.

    Having second thoughts, but have been told its natural. Life is a lesson, you learn it when you are through.
