I'm buying a 2nd hand car with my money trouble is I'll have to pay for a parking permit each week out of my wages for the car park at work.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Im part time, 30 hours, so i'll be getting quite a bit less than that.

I'll probably use it to supplement the money i'll be losing every week through the new d2d 'plan'.

Sunscreen and KY jelly. Loads of the stuff. Oh and some thermal underwear for the winter, it pays to plan ahead. I wonder if CWU HQ know that?

Sorry wrong:

We get £400 pro rata (based on 40hrs pw) on ratification - Pay day Next Friday.

The WSM or walk sequencing revisions payments are: £600 on completion of Walk Sequencing revision into your office and then a further £200 6 weeks later.

There is also a payment of £200 on completion on of a NON walk sequencing revision. (all payments are Pro-rata)

As above pro rata based on 40 hours

before tax it works out at £10 per hour

Sensible option and one I will be following.
