What were you doing?

Worked for a large chartered accountants where I typed up boring accounts all day for a pittance. Started as receptionist and became personal secretary to partner but no pay increase. Left soon after!
I do rememer after decimalisation that almost everything doubled in price.

I was busy with two small boys and didn't have time to think about the new money so got to grips with it quite quickly.

Some of my older relatives didn't like it and found it difficult. My DHs gran used to just hand her purse over and tell the shop assistant to take what she owed!

Still at school but had a Saturday job in a hairdressers.

At boarding school in Hastings. We were allowed into town on a Saturday when we were in the 5th form but only in school uniform. I was mortified when a group of boys accosted myself and a friend and asked if we were from the school where we had to wear big brown knickers!

I worked for a chartered surveyor in London and was expecting my first baby.
