    Have you ever tried looking for shop work? I was originally applying for work in an office type environment, but got nowhere so I went into retail, and I'm still there at the moment. I like my job and working anyway.

    Tink, are there any garages (I mean petrol stations)beside where you live? Just thinking you could maybe work there and you would only have to stand up for short periods when customers came in? you might need to fill up stock etc but its maybe worth a go just to see how you get on? What happened with your disability thing?

    I stand up in mine, but than if you go into most supermarkets most of them are sitting down at the till. So perhaps till work? It's not as bad as some people say.
