It's a lot easier to sing karaoke than to sing opera

Money aside. If anyone has a daughter at college and she's looking a job over the summer, I couldn't recommend 5 weeks away in Italy enough..

Free food accommodation, use of car and weekends off and only working till they came back from work.

She'd met up with other Au pairs and they stayed away each weekend in different cities..

Proper ball!

Not sure it beats Wildwood New Jersey  ;D  but looked a lot more stylish

One thing to remember, using chip and pin to pay for things costs 20c per transaction using bank debit cards.

No fee for revolut or credit cards.

Contactless is still free with AIB, but it's supposed to be 20c if they bring it back in.
I did 400 contacless payments last year which would be €80.

Every au pair's story is different. Sounds like she got a decent crowd.

Yeah, I think she did well, and the others that she met up with had very similar experiences, but I was dreading it to be honest. I know the wife didn't sleep much ;D  But that's continued as the other daughter is Camp America, experiences are slightly different   ;D

Tbh I only really use cash at a few local businesses that don't use card. Otherwise I'd be cashless and happy enough with that.

Making an effort to be cash now as much as possible lately. If a place is card only I'll just go elsewhere. Only thing is the pockets full of coins are a huer!

Me too. I try to pay cash everywhere.

I don't like the way we're going to a cashless society.

Teenagers can hardly do money sums nowadays as they're always tapping.  ::)

Usually takeaways hairdressers (not that I'm there lol) and places where they don't want to pay tax too much

Card only places  are a bigger pain in the hole.

Like Armagh18,  I will go elsewhere rather than  participate
