I get paid fornightly (better than two years ago when I worked the same shift and was getting paid monthly) so I'm about to start the second week of this fornight (which I don't see pay for until 2nd January I believe). So far I've been paid just over £1000 for 4 weeks with 2 weeks outstanding (this week is my eighth week there) but have paid about £200-£300 in tax and NI. As it's unlikely it will lead to full time employment, I'll be able to claim back my tax at the end of the tax year as I've also got a few quid from my normal part-time catering role to claim back.
As for what the money is for - so far £50 has gone towards my latest camera, and £80 to my grandma for home costs (food, electric etc). Plus Christmas shopping cost. At present, I've moved a small sum into my ISA account to pay for various things next year - driving lessons as well as a few trips away.
