Congratulations on the pay rise. Just don't be in too much of a rush to move away from home. If you're smart about it and you get along well enough with mum you can use the opportunity to save to get a decent amount of cash together towards your own home instead of throwing it away on paying off someone else's property. Bank the 47% while at home and come out ahead.

It's all relative! He could have been on £2 an hour before!

Jokes aside, well done mate.

Ah have you gone from apprentice wage to full?
(not saying you ain't worth it honey bun but explains a company giving a 50% rise )
