I thought we couldn't order anything until 13 weeks?
If we can can someone point me in the right direction?

Depends on you're first contract. If its three month then you have to wait till second contract. But if it's six month or over you can pretty much order you're uniform straight away.

Good luck!
Stick with it, it is hard work psychically. Two lads I started with have quit already.

It is physically demanding. I've been working for 2 weeks and have lost half a stone already. I'm enjoying it though. Looking forward to the spell of sunny weather due to start on Wednesday. :nana
