    Best rate? GBP 690 day rate, on Fridays I worked 4 hours. I never took a Friday off work on that job.

    Should have got a role as along tester, would have been a lot higher rate than a paper round

    Highest rate worked was over 2 hours in a day. It was a stressful time.

    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.

    No one will say cos everyone exaggerates their rate because of inadequacy issues.
