anyone got any idea how this money affects tax credits / housing benifit?. its a one off bonus payment so it would be unfair to count it as earnings.

need to spend it on a professional cv. it's the only chance of escape. also just in case any part timer thinks they will be made full time under this agreement think again. the unuion and RM have conned anyone who voted Yes

What a brilliant idea - turning up for an interview with your own sofa.

Should get the £400, the extra will come on intro of WSM, but this £400 (pro-rata) will be separate

lol im serious tho

why do i want this job

my walk is tottaly insane , i am exhausted every night

it was bearable when i was getting that little bit extra from d2d could nearly make my pay close to 170 ( woo hooooo )

but im sure i can do better than a 130 pound job 5 days a week that inclused working satarday (up at 6am on sat) early in bed on fri for it...

working here part time feels full time because the walks are so dam big u dont get finished till 2 or 3

what an experience ive had tho lol

pure hell
