I earnt £65 today, woop woop

[Blake]

Well, My first job in almost 5 days!! a landlords gas safety check, it's so exciting. I've earnt £65 and I just don't know what to do with it.

I'm thinking I'll treat the wife to fish n chips, put a tenners worth of fuel in the van so I'm ready for next months job and then the rest I'll bank which should cover at least 1% of my monthly running costs.

Oh, and of course I've gotta take into account Mr Browns cut.

If things carry on at this pace I may be able to afford a new magic tree air freshener for the van I've had my eye on for a while.

It's no wonder so many still wanna be a plumber/gas fitter with the lure of fish n chips and daytime tv. Living the dream, oh yeah.

Hi Bronzino. LOL! and here's me thinking plumbers are on a good whack, i'm from nottingham too. I should carry on what i'm doing now. Driving a green cab. And keep the plumbing training for when i need to use it on my own house.
Good luck to you mate.

Just about manage to make enough cash at the moment to keep the van on the road and pay the bills. We're all looking fitter as we've done away with takeaways and eating out since Christmas and my beer ration is down to 1 pint a week.

Still hopefully there will be good weather this summer so a couple of weeks camping in the wilds of Scotland will make up for not going on that trip to Italy this year.

Super mario, Lay off the caps as I find it rather antagonising. Also for your benefit, here is a definition you might wanna look at:

Sarcasm is the rhetorical device of using irony in the characterization of someone or something in order to express contempt toward that person or thing.[1] A common form of sarcasm, for example, in conversation, involves what seems to be praising some action that actually is intended to be interpreted, instead, as a ridiculing it; this interpretation is usually surmised through the obvious irony of such a comment.

To everyone else that posted:

I'm glad we have this forum to share stories and use the power of humour to get us through these challenging times !!

Well mate, I'm in two local village monthly newsletters, I'm with Age Concern, I have my own website, on localtraders.com(waste of money) on yell, in yellow pages, thompson, touch local (these are only free listing though).

I did do my local towns weekly paper, which was like £20 a week but I got nothing from it at all.

I also sent off x20 letters to estate agents last month.

So I'm trying my best!
