My first payslip!
I got my first payslip yesterday, was surprised at the amount of deductions (tax, NI etc), lost a good few hundred pounds but I was glad with what I had left. “What’s the first thing you’re gonna buy?” people kept asking, well, the only things I have bought are household stuff for the kitchen.
I bought a new thingy to put the plates on to let them dry after washing up (can’t remember the name now…), some tea towels, a few brushes and a new mop. I can’t use the old mop – I used that one to clean up Sam’s blood on Monday and I just can’t face using that mop again… 
You know, I can still smell it sometimes. I think that smell is going to stay with me for a long time.
