Just thinking ahead. There's a good chance I may be going back to my previous employer. Is there a way I can give my current employer 1 weeks notice (I have no contract and have been here under six months) but not actually work the notice. Could I in theory take it as holiday as I haven't touched this years entitlement. I would love to be on annual leave and send my resignation to them by post. I have hated it here from day one and am not bothered if I lose out financially. I have a contigency plan if this happens.

Your notice term should equal your payment periods. eg. weekly pay = 1 weeks notice, monthly pay = 4 weeks notice. However, you are not contracted so this may not be necessary. It is also NOT a law that you have to do this even when contracted. By not working your notice simply means you do not get paid for it.
As for holiday entitlement. I would suggest you are only entitled to half of it having only been there half a year.

If they have not given you a contract yet there is little they can hold you to, they have a statutory obligation to provide you with a contract after a certain time you have worked for them (possibly 13 weeks but don't quote me on that).
You should have the entitlement to the holiday pay as it is accrued as you work.
What sort of company is this you work for? They should sort out your holiday pay as part of your leaving package.
Try and get the few days holiday, for the rest call in sick. References are often not worth it for some jobs so just sod em.
Remember, businesses are run by a**es and treat you terribly, so dont worry about them and treat them the same.
They will happily work you to death so sod em and take a few days off, there is little they can do, especially as they may have failed to give you the contract in the desiered time.

If your holiday entitlement is 4 weeks per year, they owe you 2 weeks so you could give a weeks notice but take it as a holiday and they would have to pay you for it plus they would have to pay you an additional week for the holidays they owe you.
Good luck

If you have no contract then you can leave with no notice. Also if you have holiday entitlement then you can use that as your notice or they should pay you for the holiday entitlement

You are due two weeks paid holiday - book these off then go once you are paid up! You can just leave with a weeks notice or none.

if you have no contract then why do you need to give notice - that's a contractual term
annual leave is also a contractual term.
If I were you I'd take the holiday, get paid, and then leave

no contract... no notice period..
as you don't have a contract you are not bound by any agreement to give notice... if your not bothered about loss of cash or burning bridges just jack...
