    they stopped the extra week in the 2008 budget, I believe.

    The week that you get a double payment the post office are very clear giving it to you that you have no money the following week.

    It is one of the policies of the administration to leave everybody in the dark until the last minute....
    So we all have to wait and see !

    seriously?

    There won't be a bonus. I'd actually put money on that.

    Of course there is no Christmas Bonus anymore- that was abolished some time ago.
    The question is: When is the week we are getting one dolepayment in advance ?
