The word of the day is, "Dubious."

So I've finished and handed in both essays and yays. ^^ Parents coming down on Friday, staying with cousins fri night then leaving on Saturday for trowbo! XD So all that's left to do is massively tidy and hoover room (it's getting pretty gross), make sure all my washing up is done and no rotting food / food able to rot is left in cupboards/fridge/ ( Read more... )

Plus me and Tam totally worked out that if I have a 9-5 mon-fri job over the summer for at least 5 weeks I would earn £1000. O_O I think. (£5 x 8 hours x 5 days x 5 weeks. Awesomes.)

Don't forget how much you'll get taxed, my dear. You never get as much money as you earn. If you're projecting that you'll earn £200 a week, you'll get taxed about £40/£50 in both tax and National Insurance. Seriously.

Not that I want to dampen your enthusiasm, because I don't, but, just as a warning from someone who KNOWS. You don't get the basic money you earn. :/

So, get a better-paying job than the one I have (though you may be taxed more) or work longer... It's fun life, innit?

that's a v good point, and one i had indeed not considered :P alas. to be honest with you, ive never had a job before and thus this dream of me being non-lazy and earning money instead of holidaying is probably an unlikely one!

Oh Heather, how I love you :D

Having a job isn't too bad, if you find a place where you can bear it. Because ultimately my job has elements that are repetitive, exhausting and mind-dullingly boring, but on a good day I love it, because I work with some awesome people who are great fun (the sort that I'll meet up with outside work).

I was sort of intimidated by the idea of A Job before I had one. It's surprising how easy it is to adapt to it... it's sort of like school, but less learn-y. :P

Being a student you don't actually get taxed.

We have full exemption from anything as long as we earn under £3250 a year.

Although saying that, i did enter my first summer full of optimism and ended up having the shittest time ever but that was mainly my own fault. I have every faith (including Judaism)that you will be okay xD
