Diary Friday 9th And Saturday 10th December 2016 Two full days at work in a row without reduced hours, so things are improving there. Friday was bitty, with constant moves from one job to another. Saturday was much better. After losing thirty minutes of work time due to bus timetables causing me to have to arrive thirty minutes late for my shift every Saturday we were invited to stay for two hours of overtime which means I have recovered the 120 lost minutes caused by the loss of the opening thirty minutes of each of the four Saturdays I am contracted to work – three down and one still to go. I have Sunday and Monday off now – whoo! Arthur Chappell

That is great that you have made up some of the lost time. Do you work right up to Christmas?

@JudyEv my contract just says I'll be working until 'around about' the 22nd December so it could be up to Xmas Eve or a few days earlier

It is a good job you can make up for the losing work time.Are you paid by the hour?
