31st May, 2011 For richer for poorer

I worked fifty hours last week but before anyone thinks, crikey, that makes you rich, you should be aware that I was only paid for 2/5th of that. Another 1/5th was spent travelling to and from clients, another the final 2/5th on voluntary work for the Fire Service, Kelly's demo and a further session with Nettles. I earn less as a full time RA than I did as a part-time lawyer but I am so much happier. Yesterday it was time to do our annual shop for essential clothes - top to bottom in four hours. From Marks to Matalan!!
