At the moment I can pick what day I want during the week, I suppose it is good having a day off during the week. I know what you mean about the shops being empty during the week. Its just a pain when its quiet and the weather is good.
ive worked 6am-2pm sat & sun since i was 16. but last week changed to full time, working sun-thur its soooo good having my sats back... can finally go oot tae the pub on the friday \ /
