This morning I noticed that I was getting more than I thought.
I tracked through my payslips earlier and discovered the series of payrises. It's the first time I've looked since they stopped sending paper copies about four years ago.

I do get guaranteed overtime, yes. That fudged the figures somewhat.

With standby support, out of hours support and chargeable overtime
I have no idea what I'm going to get paid each month. Today's pay is over £1,000 more than a base month though \o/

I do one to two late shifts a month
so my take-home is usually somewhere between one to two hundred more than basic. It's enough to disguise small fluctuations.

But basically, this is down to me being a financial know-nothing money flid.

OG is forcing me to organise
in the face of my not inconsiderable resistance.

I've still got a five figure sum languishing in a 0.75 percent interest account because I've not yet got around to putting it anywhere sensible.

In fact, it's only this month that I moved it to an account
that doesn't cap interest payments to sums of under 5 thousand.

I think I might get my wages paid into an account in my mum's name
and get her to give me pocket money.

I just made this joke to OG
she said it "might be a good idea"

Seriously, I'm utterly useless. In my somewhat meagre defence, it runs in the family.
My grandad kept about 2 thousand pounds scattered around the house in old VHS cassette boxes.

My gran had about that much in her handbag when she died.

I'm pretty much the same as you.
As long as the card never says 'declined', that's good enough for me.
