Payrise!
It's not much but as I'm mostly self-employed getting a payrise on PAYE contract has come as a pleasantly, unexpected surprise.
What has been unexpected in your life recently?

After my car accident on Sunday I've already been paid the majority of my car settlement and they valued my car £200 more than I paid for it.
Just need to find a replacement...

Wow! That was a blessing that no one was hurt.
That will keep me suspicious of those things. I like thing that I pull up and hear it click into place.

A gin ice popsicle? My freezer seems to be lacking such treats... Enjoy.
I did nothing to get the payrise except take on a part-time junior role for the experience as part of my attempt at re-inventing myself. I haven't had payrise in 9 years as I'm self employed. |

"Forgotten shares! That was rather exciting. It's already been budgeted in mind but it was exciting nevertheless.
I'm surprised. I assumed you'd have everything on spreadsheets. "
I'm sometimes a bit scatty truth be told!
What do you think you'll do with the pay rise (if that's too personal a question, apologies!)? |

But you state that you have budgeted the shares anyway.
It's a little payrise. I might buy another Clinique lipstick.

"Well I didn't expect for no body to put in a food order at work leaving us VERY short on food during the kids holidays. "
That doesn't make sense. You'd think a place that does food would anticipate needing extra food when more people are likely to ask for it.

"I found a Crunchie I thought I had eaten, hiding in the saucepan cupboard. "
That's a result. It's reminded me that I bought a box of cherry liqueurs for Easter and I haven't touched them yet.

You'd think so.
Someone forgot to put in an order for last Friday, then placing an order this Monday just gone thinking it'd come in on Tuesday only to discover that our suppliers wouldn't do a delivery until the Wednesday, so for SEVEN DAYS over Easter we didn't have a delivery at all.
I was bloody rationing scrambled egg! |

Since moving jobs and starting in Jan... a promotion. A pay rise. Bonus scheme pay out. And just been seconded onto a major project that will shape the future of the business.
All a surprise and unexpected as my last job left me in a pretty vulnerable and low self esteem state.... |

I think that would be a case for extraordinary measures... like going to a shop.

Congratulations... your cloud had a giant, lucrative silver lining with a bonus of feeling happier.

Sadly petty cash was rationed too by managers.

"A surprise visit from a friend baring cake and a cappuccino
Ooo, what sort of cake? I have been craving cake all week.
"
Oh it’s so nice, chocolate slice that’s kinda like a brownie with a cream cheese frosting. Light enough not to be sickly |

Himself hails from Amsterdam. We have dozens and dozens of tulips at the front and back of the house. I've been signing tulips from Amsterdam at him all day and surprised he hasn't sewn my lips shut! |

He's got earplugs in.
I'm so excited about the Eurostar going to Amsterdam. Now I just need some time and someone to drag with me.
