Had a one day contract for £5 up in Wigan once. Spent £3 of it on a pie and lost the change while sat on the tulipter in wallgate so all in all I was down on the day. Some arsehole picked it up and wouldn't roll it back. Should have used North western but the blue lights mess with my head.Comment

Highest rate worked was over 2 hours in a day. It was a stressful time.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
