I know quite a few like that too, and it's fucking really annoying.RP2 said:I'm in this boat - payday to payday.
Whereas my never-worked-a-day-in-her-life cousin and similar husband have just had their kitchen done, and booked their holiday, purely because they churn out kids for profit.

I know a newspaper that would be interested in this story.
Maybe they could get in touch and earn a few quid to upgrade to business on their holiday?
Honestly, it makes me sick.
My nephews girlfiend told me of her friend who has recently had a boob job, costing £3.5k, which she saved up for in 4 months, despite never having worked - Not all benefit claimants are like this - but these type of people make my blood boil.<br /><br />-- Thu Feb 27, 2014 12:56 pm --<br /><br />

They brag about it too. I honestly can't involve myself with them anymore.
I work in an industry where The skill you take years to learn and years to perfect is valued no higher than minimum wage. I love floristry but self employement means weeks without work or pay and too much uncertainty. So it's getting fecked off for a stable job in retail
I love floristry but can't afford to do it anymore

I know this will be naive of me, but going off what Mrs P and I paid for the flowers for the wedding - that wasn't minimum wage. Are there large outlays/overheads in that game, Femibob?bobmcfc said:I work in an industry where The skill you take years to learn and years to perfect is valued no higher than minimum wage.

Yer right chris85mcfc! I have never been overly attracted to the alternative to living between paydays.

In my business I'm lucky that everyone has to eat, the only downside is not everyone likes Indian food.

I live from payday until about 2 weeks before the next one!! Always too much month left at the end of the money :(

Yes, flower prices change from week to week, sometimes they are ridiculously priced at the Market, and there are times when no orders are coming in at all so you have to decide if you want to be part of a relay. I've worked in shops where if you are with a relay like interflora or teleflorist they take about 60% of the money that comes through orders and you have to buy all their packaging and stationary. Then I've working in the wedding events industry where you travel up and down England and they want very expensive flowers and candelabras and vases which sometimes get stolen or broken, so massive overheads with petrol and accessories . And yes out trade isn't valued as highly as other skills which is odd because is really hard work. Florists earn between £6.30 and £7.00 an hour
