i leave the house either

8.30 and get back 6.30-7 if driving.

or

7.40 and get back 7.15 if train.

mon-fri, 9.30-5.30 at work.

and sometimes weekends various places in UK.

itd be a lot easier if i lived closer, but social life to me is more important so refuse to move to that wank place, rather commute.

my theory is if you sit around wallowing in self pity the bastard will take you down if you carry on as normal as possible the battle is half won

Work 8 till 5, hour off for lunch and come home as work is only 6 miles away !!!


Almost never get finished at 5 though as usually have someone desperate to get their car back that night so have to work on for a bit and finish it, or some clown appears at half 4 looking for an mot !!

Sometimes get sent out on breakdowns at nights and weekends, never get overtime but perks of the job make up for it, get to use the ramps whenever i want to, never have to pay for any of my mot's and get to do them myself !! Have had shit loads of them and all so saved quite a few quid there !!! Get tools free and all sometimes and oil, nuts and bolts, paint etc etc so not all bad and dont mind doing a bit extra hours.

PMSL Sorry Pete!

I'm on a basic salary of 17.3k Gross at the moment, I earn ALOT of bonus though, up to another £500 a month at times but this isn't guaranteed...

From renting my flat out I also earn an extra £100 pcm... so not too bad at 24 yrs old I guess?
