    £145 in for a weeks work in 1997 (I'm pretty sure I still even have the payslip). Seemed like the world was my oyster after that with so much cash in the skyrocket.

    Mine was a similar amount......and yes - was I loaded or what?!

    50 quid off a farmer about 13 or 14 years ago. Two days work. He had an ancient wreck of a house on his land and we went around collecting all the straw bales and filled up the whole house with them. Its was roasting for the two days and the itching from the straw was horrible. Delighted with the money though.

    3.16 an hour in the local Burger King when I was 15, came out with about 50 quid and felt loaded. Blew it all on books and cigarettes in a splurge of nerdy decedance. Ah, them was the days

    My first full week paycheck was about 4 years ago.

    I thought I was great, because were were paid in cash, in a wee little envelope. I stuffed it in my pocket and cycled home. Then I realised it was missing. Cycled back along my route half an hour later and there it was on the gracepark road, untouched!

    Delivering leaflets around mine and the surrounding towns. £2.50 for two hours depending on how many different sets of leaflets you'd deliver.

    If there was 3 sets of leaflets you'd get £4.50 for the 2 hours you worked, along with a crooked ass shoulder for a few days as the bags you were expected to carry around were about the weight of me at the time (I was probably about 12).

    Came out with about £20 or so after a week. Bull****.

    8am-5pm a few days in the week during the summer holidays, picking stones. My culchie brothers will remember this task. :/ Maybe 20 punt (I remember it being a blue note and always having a fascination with them, so elusive!)

    20 pound note
