It will affect your tax credit, as it will be in your annual earnings,

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
i wish i could find a easier job who pays £8 odd a hour for 25 hour.
theres nothing much out there at least this keeps us out in the air and fit lol
Try bin man in the midlands £34k per annum , why not f**k off and do it ,double your money ,open air and no moaning . :chuckle

perhaps full time is an ok job as far as unskilled goes.....

but part time - it would seem any other job is better

Buying a new pair of specs so I can read what the agreement said. Everyone who quoted from it told me a different story so I would like to know what was actually written down.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
