    Bookie, I would go and do it, surely you don't need to tell JS? If its on a day when you would normally sign on, make up some excuse and change the day. What they going to do? You can make up the time that you would have looked for jobs on that day in the evenings if they ever found out. I think you would be brilliant back as a nurse btw :)

    They are expensive claire but if you were using them over a long period of time like most people would its much cheaper than using disposables. If you think he is coming out the other side and you won't need them for much longer then its probably worth sticking with the disposables

  • I have christmas pud. :D

    I have been offered vlounteer work at local hospital. Could be a way to see if I wanted to do nursing stuff again but JSA might object.

    Hi Bookie, I am sure you could do it. Purely because the JSA website states ~
    Jobseeker’s Allowance is the main benefit for people of working age who are out of work or work less than 16 hours a week on average
    Even if you are working and getting payed for it you could still work 16 hours. Why not contact them or ask them when you next sign on? Surely if you put it forward as 'I want to try it again to see if full time employment will suit me in this role' rather than volunteering they will look on it favourably. As it makes sence to them to allow you to work the X hours per week unpayed for a month, then you go on and re-train/get a full time job than leave you sat at home looking for unskilled jobs :confused:
  • Pap, I agree with your earlier Statement and completely understand ;) ((hugs))

    Today was pretty rough but am doing ok.

    Hugs for Maz in a very non sympathic way.

    and you lot are certainly as lovely and entertaining as ever thank God xxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.
