    I'll stick with 20hrs

    That £337 quickly becomes only £227 after rent.
    I probably would get burnt out, it is calls. Very trying work. £227 I don't think is worth the effort. I take an extra £30 off for seeking expenses leaves. £200 or £800 a month. Being burnt our carries risks. Still not a great amount.

    All my previous call centre jobs were full time as the standard. After 3 months in previous call centre work I'd be fed up.
    A bit saved up, maybe 2.5 k in the bank but I'd be tired and end up being late, missing days and be back on JSA, which I hated. Is maybe have a holiday but I'd regret even over doing myself for nothing.
    I think I value spare time more which I use to just chill out and relax or exercise. I work less hours and save less but I am more relaxed.

    In the long term it doesn't sound like call centre work is suited to you. I would consider exploring other avenues for work in the future.

    I have been part time the last two months so I do understand how nice it is to have more time off.
