Saturday cleaner at a caravan park....goodness me, just what people do in their chalets and caravans is unbelievable!!! £3 per hour and I earned every penny of it! It funded the petrol in my little metro while I was doing my A-levels though!

It's put me off ever staying in a holiday park after cleaning them! I'd never leave anywhere in a state like people do. It's as if they just couldn't care less that someone has to come in and clean or that a new family have to use the caravan/chalet after them.
I only did it for one season and then worked in a shop at weekends. That was a nightmare to juggle alongside my degree. Oh, I wouldn't want to be a teen again!

My first job was on a youth opportunity scheme in a fruit shop, it paid £25 a week and the scheme lasted 6 months, most employers just used you as cheap labour and didnt keep you on!
