    I'd feel sorry for you all, but I'm too busy lazing around, having a coffee and eggs benedict for a late breakfast, and then a busy day of nothing much to do.

    I did Sundays for 6 years at various places, the pay made up for it!

    1.5x pay at Tesco and Orange and £50 Sunday bonus @ O2

    I might go out on the bike and see if there's anywhere around here that sells a circular polariser.

    Just wondering, why would you guys not want to work weekends? Wouldn't it be better to have days in the week off, when it's quieter for shopping etc. The only good thing about weekends is the TV. Unless you work in Retail, then it sucks to be you.
