Another Pill Question

Right, basically am on my first packet of my new pill, and its the first time I intend to use it as contraception. I just wanted to know a couple of things:

1) Does it matter if you don't take the pill a the same time ever da (obv. i dont mean exactly the same time, but like with 6 hrs difference each day, can that affect its effectiveness?

2) Does the pill provide contracteption even when you are are on the 'break', where you don't take the pill for 7 days?

Sorry if these are obvious questions, but i am concerned

Thanks

1) The more regularly you take it, the better. I'm not sure what effect 6 hours either way will have - shouldn't decrease protection but there may be some effect.

2) Yes, you are.
