We drank and danced until the wee hours along with the Brides/Grooms parents and older relations, and headed to bed at 4ish. Us auld ones met up in the dining room for breakfast from 8am and not a sign of the younger ones.

One minute I'm boiling and the next shivering - some sort of a dirty dose of a virus. I woke up just after 3am this morning in a cold sweat and headed to the kitchen beside the range. Dosed off until 4.30 and woke up sweating. Headed back to bed and tossed and turned for the rest of the night.

I'm not sure how many hours I'll need him but it will be at least 3 every week. And I'll increase once I get him used to things and fencing etc. I think if someone's doing the work right it's counter intuitive to pay lower as they will be gone or start resenting you for it which you don't want!! He has a good work ethic so far-and is careful which is important so we will see how we go!!!

I will be interested to see the actual rate my eldest gets, the €5/hr is from a friend that worked there two years ago. But what she really really wants is the experience to put on her CV, she says the actual rate isn’t that important, she wants real stuff on her cv that shows she’s willing to work. By the time she’s college age she wants to be able to teach swimming so she could give private lessons to supplement her costs.
