    24 cans of coke etc for £6.50
    and over 3000 other things at cost
    the minus points are

    After years of working for clowns in shit jobs making money for other people I am now self employed and basically getting paid for my hobby. Nothing I do seems pointless or repetitive, I don't answer to anyone, I only have to commute from my bedroom to my lounge to work and I choose my own hours…long may it continue.

    (Although being self employed I still technically work for an idiot)
