    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.

    I do 1pm - 9pm back to back with the 6am-2pm.

    When required i also work 10pm - 6am

    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 :o
    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 :o

    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!
