If you really need the money, go and do it. Why work all the time, enjoy life, people fought to make sure we could have days off and holidays.

If I was the rep in your office I would be doing my utmost to get you sacked.
"Colleagues" like you we can do without.

Never work for free. You should work to earn extra money and keep your fitness up. If you work 6 days a week full time - it will be reduced duty (no ips) and you will earn about 36 hours of overtime (assuming you get paid for 6 hours) that is about 225 pounds extra.

Your week off is paid from working 5 Saturdays.

This week will be the week you can call the shot not the management. So if you are going away on Saturday you can do it for 5 days.

It is not bad to work on week off but it is best overtime to do rather than do half of walk after work.

You can work in return for the annual leave back although with all the problems of getting annual leave in the first place and only eight weeks until the end of the annual leave year it's a pretty dumb move on your part.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Sorry to shout.

YOU CANNOT WORK WHEN YOU ARE ON ANNUAL LEAVE.

Yes don't work on annual leave week. It is hard enough to get them. You should have made an plans. Let go out on 2 or 3 day trips to place like Chatsworth House or whatever,
