    Ok I know there are plenty of people that have had things a lot worse than me and one thing I always say to my self when I'm feeling sorry for myself is "there is always someone worse off in the world"

    Well finally some good luck

    I have been promoted at work after a really tough assessment centre and interview etc which I all thought went bad

    Happy days :D

    Congratulations, It's hard in the workplace at the moment, a bit Dog eat Dog. Is it a 'new Blade' promotion?

    Congratulations Martin, you deserve a bit of luck mate.

    I felt as happy as you sound when I formally asked for a demotion a few years ago and they accepted my request.....it was either that or I was walking away……..funny old world isn’t it.

    Lol I have jumped 4 levels so big pay rise too. I know money's not everything but things have been a struggle lately so it's a big help. (Still not massive money can't afford new Italian toys or anything) ;)

    To be honest with you I love my old shape more and even if I had the cash I would prob stick with what I have. Obviously this is my view only but I think it's a nicer shape and has more than enough power for me :D
