How Have You Raised Money?

Got my little sprogs bustin' their little rumps bob-a-jobbin'.

Not much they can do though, they are only 4 1/2 and 3, but every little helps.

Huh? Could you translate that into American English?

I have my young children out working, doing odd jobs for a small fee. There is that better??!!

OK, 'dude' American English for ya'

Got my little sprogs (kids) bustin' their little rumps (i.e. set them to work - actually an Americanism borrowed from the film 'Uncle Buck' starring the late, great John Candy) bob-a-jobbin':

'Bob-a-job' is something one does in Cubs or Boy Scouts - you go 'out there' into 'da' hood', when you're a 'kid' and ask people if you can do a simple job suitable for a 'kid' such as mow the lawn (badly) or wash the car (badly) in return for which you get paid a 'bob' or 5 (old) pence. Hence the term 'Bob-a-job mister', to which the usual reply is: 'No. Sod off' (a polite term used by English adults to ask 'sprogs' to 'go away').

Clear mate? Sorry 'dude'

I work hard to earn a massive load of bonus from work. Plus, I save by not blowing my money on booze, cigarettes, or any other vices.
