make the most of it, look at it as an opportunity to do some things you have been waiting to do. Or help me set up a business.

I’d like a 4 day week. Some well known employers in my profesison are rolling it out – 4 days on 85% pay.

If it was available here, I’d take it like a shot. At the very least, the same amount of time for riding each week and more time with Mrs North (at least, that’s how I’d sell it at home…).

Enjoy, WHISN, and remember that the best things in life are free..!

85% would be improvement 🙁 I took a 20% cut rather than redundancy however after Tax and Student load repayments etc etc my neet pay is less than 75% of my nett 5 day week pay.

MrsDummy was asked to take an additional 15 days unpaid leave. She went apeshit and refused. “What would I do?!” she asked. I was speechless. 😯

That’s an interesting point. It’s not something I’d like to end up with (though my outgoings are pretty straightforward these days).

I’d still love the extra free time, though. Trouble is, Mrs North actively wants to reduce her time spent at work to a three day week. Looks like she might get all the fun at my expense…!

I can’t see how it works out that way OHH – and I’ve just done some calculations to prove it – you must have other deductions – pension?

I went down to a 4 day week at the start of this year (my choice).

A 4/3 day split is so much more balanced, can’t see myself going back to a 5 day week again…

Pension – You must be Joking, i dont have a penny of savings just lots and lots of debt lol.

I dont know how it works al, i guess the pay bracket im in doesnt change how much student loan i repay – or they havent changed the amount yet.

Whichever way it sucks.
