I will never forget the look on his face when we handed it back to him along with his normal pocket money. If we had known just how many tips he would get from all the old ladies who wanted to have him as a grandson we may have thought twice. Boy did he rake in the £s .

Oh my goodness Tesco has just called and offered him the job and he accepted, his induction is tomorrow morning at 9 am. Honestly, I'm sitting here with a huge grin on my face £9.62 an hour wow that's fantastic for a 16-year-old IMHO.

Home Bargains 16 hours contract split over 4 hour shifts over a 7 day week = £83.52
Tesco 9.5 hours contract Saturday & Sunday 13:00 - 18:00 = £91.39

It really was a no-brainer really in what job he would take if offered between the two but as I have said the choice was his and his alone and IMO he made the right one as Tesco will not interfere with his beloved RAF Cadets (Monday & Thursday) evenings. He wanted to contact Home Bargains now but on the advice, his big brother has given him he will not be contacting Home Bargains until he has done the Tesco induction tomorrow this way he knows what his job will fully entail at Tesco.

BEST NEWS EVER TWO INTERVIEW'S AND TWO JOB OFFERS THAT'S MA BOY
