Hmm… yes… that was the next item on the agenda.Our end-of-year bonus.Well… you see… there isn’t going to be a bonus this year.What! No bonus?I’ve been working really hard.This isn’t fair.Anna. You needed to break that news gently.Yes. Tell them that ’we’re operating in tough economic conditions’ and ’we need to meet our sales targets’.And you could tell Tom to ’pull your socks up’.Pull his socks up? Most of his socks are on the bedroom floor.He should pick them up rather than pull them up!But remember he is your husband now, so be gentle!
