    It's a normal working day for many thousands upon thousands of people. It is just another day in reality. Only difference is it's the Christmas holidays but technology is still available and if it was me I'd still search just in case jobs do come up and also incase they do check. Plus it will be less to do the rest of the week

    Better to be safe than sorry, especially with all the changes.

    Yeah I moan about things all the time, but at the same time if my employer says jump I ask how high as they pay my wages so to keep my job it's what I have to do.

    No, it's a "Public Holiday" and most things are shut.

    Most thing might but shut but that all aren't . Why should Christmas Day be any different from any other unless you are a devout Christian.?

    What was your first sentence supposed to be? "Most places are shut but not all are"? If so, that would answer your second sentence.

    Cut a bit of slack, ho ho burp!

    The muslim/Hindhu/Budhist/Sikh/David Icke Nat King Cole rock and roll might be open but I doubt it.

    Then that'll be why your pay and conditions of employment are both pretty rubbish!

    That's just the care system in general, but if there weren't the mini army of carers about then we would have a bit of a problem in society. I'm on more than minimum wage, don't really have to do much for my money compared to some jobs I've done before and terms wise other than working long hours we don't have a bad job really in the great scheme of things. There's things that could change, but i should imagine 99% of people say the same.

    I'd rather have a job I get up for and don't mind than have a job on £20k plus and be bored off my trolley just because it is a great paid job.

    Money isn't everything in life, it just helps pay the bills and pay for experiences like travelling. As long as I've got good in the table, a roof of my own over my head then what else is there to worry about?
