it does mate and i am putting a plan of action in place. ive left it too long. thanks for your messages everyone. clearly need to pull my head out the sand and change my own circumstances.

its the amount of work i have to do to earn this £150, its not physically possible for everyone, and the lads that think it is possible. well within 5-10years, their back goes, knees, joints. you end up in pain and on disability before you know it. Health and saftey do not give a toss. as long...

Its the industry, inflation happens every year. but the prices per sqm we get offered never change. and they use excuses like oh we have to fight for contracts so lowest bid wins, thats why it never moves. I could earn the same £150 per day 10 years ago. at which point i would be okay. not...

and i dont have time to eat whilst at work. no 30minute break or lunch break. if i take time to do this its out of my own time and ill be there til after dark. i usually buy a 900ml lucozade orange 1.70 per day. to give me enough to get through it. but thats all ill have til i can get home and...

yes thats correct, i do get the majority of my tax back in april. but for example i earnt 25k, i do take my days off when i want, but its mainly when im too knackered to do the work needed to be done to earn my daywork. but the house with the damp and mold im pretty sure its making me sick more...

I would move out but the rent for a similar house type is 670-700 per month and they again look like they have issues. the friend i share this house with does the same job i met him whilst working for the same firm. he has 2 young daughters who have my old bedroom the smallest room. but the...

The rent was deducted from my wages until i asked to pay him myself. as i thought that was wrong to do. i do not have a contract of employment. and no accomodation is provided. I have a tennacy agreement. which i had to ask for because i had to claim benefits when i got injured at work. i have...

he takes 1.5% deduction from my total wage, and it does not show on my payslips ive asked him not to take this as it is illegal but he basically said, you either pay it or you find work somewhere else. he has a bill at the end of the year, and has around 50 lads working for him and charges...

north west, but the sites are usually within a maximum of a hour half drive. usually 30-40min drive. I work with a partner and he drives. i have not learnt to drive so cannot go on my own. and tbh never want to see barrel of dab or plasterboard ever again. i do enough days to get a weeks wage...

i fix what i can, I am not liable to fix these issues that at buidling phase should of been fixed. the house was gutted and renovated cheaply. in 2005. the issue is it was done cheaply. it needs eco boarding on all external walls. new bathroom and kitchen fitted and the floor joists addressed. i...

I dryline, so fix with screwgun or dot and dab new house builds, I average £150 per day but for the work involved its not enough 6.45am pick up getting back at 5-6pm. 12 hour shifts some days for £14-15 an hour? ive told him and his reply is to work on my own and get a young lad. i am focusing...

Ive lived in a rented property since late 2019, the property is owned by my "boss" or contractor as im self employed in plastering. anyways there are a few issues with the house and he just ignores the issue or tells me to fix it myself, or will charge me to the work done if he believes its down...
