How Was Your Day?

[Buce]

Smashed all night, in bed all day. Fair play that's what early retirement is for I suppose.

I thought that's what university is for..

University, Early Retirement, Actual Retirement, Fake retirement who cares.

 

Show me the money Mr Taxpayer.

I think you will find that I drink far less than some on here.My session is 4-6  I consume on average 3 pints and it is not every day.

What does it matter personally the way I spend my money? I do not smoke, have a car, wife and kids or Sky TV or any game consuls but if I did I certainly would not be able to afford those couple of pints two or three times a week.

I do not also travel executive class on trains and airlines and have  2-3 luxury holidays a year. I doubt that I will have another overseas holiday in my lifetime.

To anyone that can afford all the above I say good on you and to enjoy it whille you can because you never know what is around the next corner.

[ScouseFox]

[Rincewind]

Basic package.No sport or films extra and cannot see all these TV shows that have threads of their own. Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones etc.

I think it's fairly normal not to travel in 'executive class' and not to have 2-3 luxury holidays per year though to be fair. Also, as far as I can see, nobody questioned the way you spend your money apart from you.

Good to know there are positive outcomes. I wonder if it took perseverance and help from others rather than compassion from the authorities who repaid without being asked.

[SystonFox]

Had to go and work in Hull today, needed to be there for 2pm for a demo which they cancelled the appointment at 1.55pm. Wasted day. Not great.

Did a short run when I got home, spent some time with the wife. Disappointed to hear we dominate a game and got nothing from it. Even worse we are further adrift at the bottom now. Gutted

Tory MP by any chance?

[BoneDog]

Bought 7 pairs of new socks and a pair of slippers so all said and done it's not been too bad.

No Lib Dem

Yeah, decent. Spent the morning up at the town hall at a careers event. About 50 or 60 companies, including the likes of Barclays and Autotrader, had stands and I managed to have a chat with a few and hand out my CV in the process.

Best decision i ever made was to go to a careers event. Got me back into the engineering industry after getting depressed in a call centre. Hope you find something

call centres are the worst soul sucking jobs ever. once you're out it feels  amazing!

granted my job now isnt the most riveting in the world but it pays the bills and no one shouts at me for leaving my desk to go toilet and being in the wrong code!

Yes it was the worst job ive ever had. I used to finish at 6pm and the bus back to Leicester city centre left at 6:15pm. I remember putting my console on hold at literally 5:59pm cause many phonecalls would sometimes take a long time to finish and i could have missed my bus. I got a written warning for not being available for the last minute  . 9 months i was there and i put on 4 stone in weight was a very low point in my life.

Wish I knew about this, when will the next one be??

Yeah cheers. Well I'm graduating from Uni this year so thought I'd go along and hand out a few CVs. See if anything can potentially come along.

I wasn't referring to Leicester, I live in Manchester. No doubt they'll be something similar though if you do some research.

Not sure on your age but if an apprenticeship interested you there is an apprenticeship job fair on 12th march
