thats 20 minutes from my life ill never get back Madder

dude you really fail...You clearly stated you got back from work and earned £80 yet when someone questions it and seemingly proves you wrong you say that you got 5 weeks pocked money and £25 from work etc...

Making it sound like £80 a day seems like your going to get alot of money, but now work it out as £80-subtract that extra money from pocket money etc...Facepalm

Your full of bull mate...
Take up bakery instead Cook

Im not trying to cause an arugment just purely laughing at how you make now sense and what seems to me to look like you write utter bullshit, and then try make up reasoning in which to cover your back, give up.
