    I'm just so excited. It hasn't really sunk in yet! I'm planning what to do with my money. Boring stuff first like a pension and a savings plan - stuff I know nothing about yet!

    Just a thought but before tying any spare funds up as above, it might be worth considering building up an emergency fund. I hope you will have no need of it and that life runs smoothly for you. It can be quite reassuring though to have this resource in place just in case.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    I should imagine Saturnalia will relish the luxury of 'knowing' what her monthly income will be! details can be worked out after receiving a few paydays!

    That's good advice. I was planning to keep an emergency fund in the savings account linked to my current account, where I can move money between the two online and instantly. I know if it is in the savings pot it isn't for spending. But it is there if I need to put my hands on it immediately.

    I know my bank has a financial adviser I can see for free, so it may be worth doing that in a few months' time to discuss longer term plans.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
