    I have had periods of unemployment and you do get used to budgeting, but you actually cant beat the feeling you get from working and earning a wage.

    I remember the feeling vaguely! Been unemployed for 4 months i'm beginning to think that i will never get work again!!:eek:

    Don't worry people im always a positive thinker!!
  • I have had periods where I have been out of work and my nan always said to me that everything happens for a reason! Looking back at things I have ended up in a good job which I enjoy and has good prospects :)

    I did call my nan today to see if she knew the reason why my car broke down and will cost around £600-700 to fix, she couldn't think of a positive reason :rotfl:

    I'm gonna guess and say that fate wants you to buy a new car that in the long run would be more reliable!!!! (no guarantees from me though lol!)

    I think it may be my cars way of getting back at me for looking at new cars, was planning on saving for one once I have cleared my debts. Current car is only 5 years old so should be okay for a bit once it is repaired.
