Hello, its Peter here and welcome to the Levy Letter and the start of another week. I hope your weekend was good. I hope you will be able to look out for your Levy Letter every day this week and of course join me on BBC1 at 6.30pm every night this week. Dont forget, if theres someone you know, whos not signed up for the Levy Letter, well theyre missing out as you very well know. Tell them what they have to do. Direct them to the two addresses at the bottom of the page, click on Levy Letter, follow the instructions through and sign up and they will get their Levy Letter from tomorrow!
Just a quick email here from Daphne. This ones just a little bit late. I should have done it on Friday. It says, I wonder if you could give a surprise to my Mum, Edith Grant, and wish her a very happy 95th birthday for Friday 25th November. That comes from her daughter Daphne and her grandson Richard of Canada. She watches your show every night and she has a signed picture of you on her unit. And I wonder whether you could give her a mention. Well, Daphne, thank you very much. Thats Daphne Lawson, thank you for your note. Sorry its a little bit late, it was all very hectic at the end of last week, but Edith Grant, a very happy birthday to you for Friday. Many happy returns and I hope your day was good. Pay Day Well, if youre plucking up courage to ask someone, ie your boss, for a pay rise, well, the best day to do it (and its not today, nor tomorrow) its Wednesday! Bosses are more likely to say yes to a pay rise on a Wednesday, than on any other day of the week, so says research. It may be better to get a holiday authorised on a Monday, break bad news on a Tuesday, flag up new ideas on a Thursday and ask for a favour on a Friday. Senior executives have different frames of mind on different days of the week as work builds up or as the weekend gets nearer. This is all according to new research just out. 78% said that they were more receptive to enquiries about money matters, ie asking for a pay rise, on a Wednesday. The beginning of the week used to be identified with Monday morning blues. This is no longer true. Refreshed by the weekend, most bosses come in to work full of enthusiasm. 71% said that on a Monday morning, is the time they are most likely to sign contracts and deals! . There you are, if you want a pay rise just in time for Christmas, then ask your boss on a Wednesday. If you want to break some bad news, do it on a Tuesday, submit new ideas on a Thursday and if you want a favour from the boss then ask on Friday. So if my boss is reading the Levy Letter today, and I know she sometimes does, then expect a visit on Wednesday! Carol Service Just a reminder that there is a big carol service taking place, as there is every year, at the Street Life museum in Hull. Its on Thursday the 8th December. Therell be various people there doing the readings. Therell be the usual brass band music. Its always a great affair and therell be some fabulous live music from Amy Black. Now if you want to come along, it starts at 7.30pm and therell be some live music from Amy Black. So if you want to come along to the Street Life museum a week on Thursday, Ill be there to do one of the readings as I have done for the last three years. This will be the fourth year Ive done it. So, I hope to see you there at the Street Life museum. Workaholics Being the wife of a workaholic is not a bed of roses, but it might feel like one, because women, whose husbands work long hours in the office are often happier with their love lives than those who have a man about the house, according to a new study. It seems that men, who are passionate about their jobs, are also the most passionate lovers! They say that dont they? If youre active at work, then youre probably active at home too. I dont know what that says about me. Women, whose husbands and boyfriends are dedicated to their careers, report that they are more sexually satisfied than those whose partners are more family orientated. So there you are, its not all bad news if you are married to a workaholic or to someone who loves his job! Im A Celebrity Thanks for all the emails on a variety of subjects. Many have been on the subject of Im A Celebrity and of course now we find out that Cannon and Ball were selected to go in to the jungle, but of course theyre also on their way to Hull for pantomime this year. Theyre doing Dick Whittington with Amy Black, who I mentioned a few minutes ago. But Ive had a lot of emails on the subject of Im A Celebrity. Lots of people sharing their views. Keep them coming in, especially on Tommy Cannons recent eviction from the jungle and well have a little round up later on in the week with everyones emails on Im A Celebrity. I have to say that I do think its quite a surprise that Carol Thatcher has been such a good sport and I think Sheree Murphy has been great right from the start, especially last Sunday when she was so scared of flying and then not only did she fly, but she also did a parachute jump. Shes been terrific. But the shows got everyone talking as it always does. Calendar Just the daily reminder that Children In Need may have been and gone, but on sale now are the Children In Need, Peter and Paul 2006 calendars.
