It's on the north side of the city, it's a major road, shouldn't be too hard to find and snap a pic :)

Wow lucky! I had 2 different jobs at the weekend during GCSEs through to Alevels while travelling 40 miles a day on buses....then had a job for first and second year at uni. All good fun, don't regret it though but I'm not sure I'd have done it if I'd been given the choice. Had to have money though (to pay for bus fare for a start!) and I started paying parents board from age 15.

Wonder how many American kids have to do that lol.

My brother, on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish. He is working full time and still has to get hand outs cos he is completely clueless about money. Much to my annoyance.:smt091

It is funny being in a conversation that includes French, English and French Canadians. The French do not understand French Canadian words.

I worked from 14. did 16-20 hours a week waitressing. Worked a Wednesday night and then either 2 of the weekend nights. I was only a mile n half from school so mum used to drop us off on the way to her work in the morning and then we would walk home later ourselves. Once I was working, I didn't pay keep to mum and dad but I didn't expect them to pay for my lunch or anything, and I would usually pay for most of my clothes and trainers and stuff myself.

At school i helped round the house but studied a lot of the time or wander round to mates. I need to study as it didn't come easy and wanted good grades.

Uni - I was the last intake to get the student grant and I stayed at home so no wild partying for me - the last bus back was abt 11 at night and taxi was abt £36 quid.



The only rule in our house was once you were working a third went on digs. It what my brother had and I argued to have the same as they wanted to do something different. Most of the wage went on books, petrol and into the company that i was helping run at the same time.
