£5.25 per hour then. Do you have to take out your tax and national insurance from that and also save for your holiday pay?

I agree, and good luck to you.

But try it first without investing a lot of money.

Best of luck to you son, but with the hours we have to work not many marriages can stand it....you will always be chasing work at the prime times your missus and kids need you the most...or with little sleep will not be the ideal companion.
