I've recently started a new job and got my my first payslip today. It's fucking loads! I was earning fuck all for years trying and failing to get promotion/raise with my old employer so I took my working-above-my-grade self off elsewhere and asked for what I thought I was worth.
For some reason I didn't quite realise what that actually meant until now seeing what's about to hit my bank account. I'm a single parent and have been skint for so long ... now, I guess, I'm not! Bloody hell. The relief! It's a really nice feeling.
Can't really discuss this with friends because it's not cool to talk about money in this way but I wanted to tell someone. Happy Friday everyone. Chippy tea for us tonight.
