No mate it probably never did, so I just worked my nads off while I was there and made good. In fact, interestingly, I made my first journey abroad when the employment situation in my own country was at a low ebb - applied for a job, went out, got nothing for free. I appreciate that not all of us have had to run from delicate situations, I definitely didn't, but you're way off thinking it's all woe is me and the rest of us could never understand what living abroad is like.
You're on here whinging about carpets, yet you're out boozing, you've got internet access - lets generously suggest this is through a very very cheap mobile phone package - and you've got a free ticket to Wembley. You're going on about having to do an 11 hour day once recently- Jesus absolute wept, that's a lot, a lot of people's bog standard working day, five days a week.
You're going on about missing out on £40 worth of PayPal donations when people have likely given up hundreds, maybe thousands, of pounds worth of items and free labour to you with no connection other than common decency and a mutual love of Everton.
