...I'VE GOT A JOB!!!

Yes, at long last I've gained permanent employment!

Starting Monday morning I'll be employed with Border Oak, a company that builds fancy and expensive houses basically. I'll be starting work with them as a bit of a general dogsbody, learning the trade as I go along.

The work involves working all over the country, mainly in the London area.

I'll be starting on £6 an hour during a three-month trial period, after which it'll go up to over £7 an hour plus any bonuses. Job done.

Tomorrow I'm already signed up to do a Basic Food Hygiene course, so that's being done. After that, I plan to get myself signed off JSA forever. If not tomorrow, DEFINATELY on Friday.

Already had my celebratory pint, looking forward to my celebratory tea now...Thing is, will I have a celebratory Midland Madness this weekend...?

Thanks guys! I'm in such a goooooooooood mood it's unbelieveable!

Time to repay all that JSA money to the taxpayers via my own taxes!

I know it might sound odd, but I can't wait to get paid! Then I'll be on a nice little bash for the weekend! Bring it on! A bash paid out of money I've worked a solid week for, I think I'll truely enjoy that!

I hate to put a damper on things :( , but (like most people on here), you don't seem to have spelt DEFINITELY right ;)
Jobsworth alert! :-P

Congratulations!

The best bit is that when you're good you can build your own houses and make £1000s ;)

Well done chap, I knew you would get there eventually!

Just a shame you're working every weekday and I'm working every weekend...when are we ever going to meet up again? ;)

Good luck and well done Julian.

Now, before you spend your first pay packet before you get it, stop and think.

Don't go overboard on bigger and better trips in the coming couple of months.

Start a savings account. Now!

Got that idea lined up already. Once I get the pay, I'm going to set up an ISA with NatWest and get it sorted out.

I'm saving up some money for Download in June as well, that promises to be absolutely amazing!:headbang:

EDIT: And yeah, I noticed after you pointed it out...Definately...There we go, must have been far too excited earlier!
