Crikey O'Reilly. I would never do a night shift. I had a little experience of it tonight what with serving through the hatch and stuff of the petrol station. It was madness!

I'm keeping Littlewoods @ the moment.
I want to close Jacamo, Very and Grattan too.
Closed T-Mobile last month, but they're messing me about, because they didn't cancel my contract properly on the 21st of January.
I'd never go back with T-Mobile. I'd stick to O2, because, where i live, theircoverage is great.0 -

I sometimes do 1-9/1.30-9.30 back to back with 7-2.30... I also have to do 9.15 pm-7.15 am sometimes. Its not so bad - we get extra pay for it in Working Time Directive pay as the nature of the work means we HAVE to do it...but its not often I do an early shift now... I usually work late shifts.

Hiya. Im a long-time lurker on this thread
Anyways, my credit record was 100% completely shot (still is lol but im slowly getting there), but after 2 years of trying and applying every 6 months, Vanquis have eventually accepted me and i have a shiny pink card in my grubby paws :j:j
So what to do now to try and even start to repair my record?? Do i spend on it? Do i pay it off in full every month or not? If i pay in full every month are they likely to increase the measly £250 limit?
I really want to get this right this time
BTW, ive also tried in the past for Aqua, JD Williams, all the usual suspects, but have been consistently knocked back. So how long to show them i can be a "good girl" til i should shoot off another application??
Sorry all the questions, but im sooo chuffed that someone has given me a chance!0 -
