    I got asked as well - but I'll be away on holiday!
    Sent an email asking if they'll be able to do the following week but I'm not hopeful.

    they may do butI would expect them to be cutting back in hours at that point, after the mad panic of piling stuff to the delivery offices on xmas eve

    Don't count on it, RM will only use you when they want you, for my nephew that was 4 days out of the whole xmas period-driving.

    Although it was in a different area to Berkshire.

    Put it this way, he's working xmas at Argos this year, deffo for the whole xmas period!

    Good luck.
