    Lol, I know they mean well Butti but :mad:, I already told her that I have money saved up and was planning a couple of months off but no... think I might just lie and pretend to have lots of unsuccessful interviews...

    oh and I may need to get a new job asap before my mother either drives me mad asking about it or finds me one!

    And then you come on here, and we nag you too. No rest for the wicked. ;)

    Maybe you could say things like "There's a few jobs going at the Ann Summers callcentre..."

    Hey! That's right up your street... (If you lived 20 miles away on that street that is.)

    You never know, they may just be curious as to which jobs you've looked at, and what's available. I know I am, but I'm just nosey.

    Hmm , this makes for an interesting reading into Z'ds mind:D

    Waves to one and all- just having a quick catch up with you all. Hope all goes well in final week/s at work Skinty.:beer:

    Not that many jobs available and very little of interest but even if I get a minimum wage job I reckon I could have my mortgage paid off before I hit 50.... I do have a modest mortgage and very small outgoings though ;)

    Well, keep us informed.

    It's a bit like "Employment !!!!!!" as opposed to property... ;)
