Change of Pay Dates

In a large corporation, if your pay date was changing you would get more than 4 days notice... wouldn't you??? Seems to not be the case in the little mans world. The reason for the date change is so that our fortnights don't end on Public Holidays meaning pays can be late... Is that so that the Scheme doesn't have to do more work on those weeks or so we don't have to wait an extra day for our pay to appear in the account... I haven't quite decided yet! What I have figured out is that it's made a hell of a mess in our budget, cause we did have money coming in every week which worked really well with the money we had going out every week.. so now I've had to change payments, and amounts so that we don't continually overdraw the account... nice hey! Good thing I do check my email regularly, otherwise the end of the week would have come and gone and I would be missing out on a weeks payment next week.... Don't you just love it?!?

That added to the little man today only sleeping for 1 1/2 hours, when he usually sleeps for around 5 (across the day) lots of tears and grumbling which couldn't be consoled... made for a happy Jess this afternoon!

Seriously hope that tomorrow is better!!!!

Quick congrats to my cousin Sarah, who had a little girl at 1.33pm this afternoon. They have called her Lily (an ever popular name at the moment!) I think everything went well...

News for the next week!
Got house cleaners coming on Friday to wash the house down.. make it look a bit better, and so we can do some prepping for painting. (I think that's what we'll be asking for for our birthdays... Paint!!!) I'm going to do some cleaning down in Brisbane to pull in some extra dosh, and then, weather pending, we are doing the rest of the yard work this weekend. Maybe it will reduce the number of Mozzies out there so that we could go out and spend time with Puppy occasionally without getting eaten!
