But no i was talking to the blokes and they said you can have a good time and still take home enough for what i want. My biggest concern is home sickness. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbit Hunter 6,608 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Fair play DC, we all have them types of outgoings with a young family. I have 2 young daughters, missus, 5 terriers, car, house to run etc, however I'm not on these meteoric wages that are being spoken of on here. Do I live under a stone or is there some exaggerations going on on this thread? 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kerny92 1,246 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 £150 is about the rate for a groundworker on 10 hours. I don't know of any labourers on that across the country. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
