Depends on when you work. :?

9 to 5 Monday to Friday, then no. Blitzing the weekend and evenings, then shouldn't be a problem.

But to earn real money you really need to get your own motor. :wink:

As sussex said, it's a lot of cash to make if your sticking to days.
But if you were going to do mon, tue, thur days then do fri and sat nights and do sunday maybe 2pm to 6pm you should do it quiet easy.
The thing to do is kill it the first couple of weeks (work as many hours as you can) then decide which are the hours you'll make the money and cut it down to those.
But dont start (like a lot do) to live by the day, get your self in front and stick to your hours. it's easy to have a good weekend, have a couple of extra days off (because you deserve it) then your motor breaks down and by the time it's back on the road your playing catch up!
And those 20-30p's we all knock off! DONT, it pays you fuel!

ok, thanks for that.
I was just looking at doing days, think the settle was 130 pounds. But i dont think i could be botherd with handing the car back at the end of the day.
So think i might do the long collar.
cheers
