    Cambridge is a lovely City Keedie. Only been there a couple of times myself as it’s the other side of the country. Enjoy special time with your mum and sister and create a few more special memories. None of us ever knows how many more such opportunities we will get. 
    It’s not great that you’re finding work hard but the big plus is that you’re not trapped in it long term. I am sure there will be good days out of the blue. Another big plus is that you are totally capable of doing it. Of course peaks and troughs are challenging though. I can really relate to that.
    I would say VERY approximately, and I’m not tax expert, that by the end of December you’ll have been able to earn around 9k total before tax is applied. I would base that on a standard tax allowance of £12.5k pa being effectively £1000 per month on average. I have also been known to talk rubbish so don’t rely on me for tax advice  :)
