    Postal sorting office is also a good one, but that's usually only for the month before christmas.

  • Hi Hun

    I assume your close to me;) Could you travel to Bromley ok? They pay well on a basic then you have commision on top. My nephew earns £11 ph on average. He is a student and works 2 evenings a week and every other Saturday.

    Supermarket work with store discount, but the money isnt great! What about catalogue shopping deliveries? My SIL does this and earns about £100 pw working a couple of hrs a day.

    Bromley is in commuting distance, but I'm going to be office temping around the Bexleyheath area so I want something that will be easy to get to when I finish at 5pm.

    This is all a plan B as I'm hoping the supermarket I currently work for will let me work part time with them.

    What sort of companies pay commision then?

    Hi KG,
    I was a temp at matalan a few years ago and they are a good employer. i have also seen adverts for debenhams and mothercare if that is any help at all.

    good luck and happy hunting!

    Woolworth have got their christmas application forms out already. I saw them on Friday.

    Wilkinsons recruit christmas staff too especially for the evenings for shelf stacking and stockroom. I found them good to work for and you get a discount card, on christmas eve they have good reductions and we were allowed to put items behind the night before and pay for them the next day at the reduced rates.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

  • Harrods, Selfridges, H Samuel, Monsoon and HMV have online application forms. River Island, Superdrug have forms instore. Currys are also recruiting. Bigger branches of Topshop are recruiting night staff to replenish stock.
    A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist :j
