It's telesales (gulp) selling uniform to schools, it pays very little (£5.75 / hr), no commission or anything.

Would you do it?

If I had to and there was nothing else available, then yes I would.

So do you get paid whether you get a contract with a school or not?

Tiredemma, You have my respect, and that is a travesty.

Please don't think I'm being precious, trouble is before ds I was a career girl in IT, so had real money.

DH is in full time work, and earning reasonably. After 8 years as a mum (inc 2 years when I was wheelchair bound and couldn't earn anything) I have a few debts that I'd like to clear, and have some regular income of my own. I've done some accounts temping recently and could carry on with that.

Twig, yes I'm rather afraid that I'll find it soul destroying too.

hanaflower, thats what dh always says about his job (software developer). It's indoor work, no heavy lifting

Sorry- wasnt thinking that you was precious at all.

Just thinking outloud and frustrated that I work for such a shit company with no respect for it employees! sorry.

The hours sound good, but there really is nothing worse than being in a job you hate.

Good luck!!
