    Buy a decent suit and some good shoes and shirt and tie before ALL your money runs out and you will at least be presentable for a interview..and buying a amp while jobless is very very mad..you sound like a dreamer but your not the only one..some day you might join us..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    You have no money apart from the money you stole from a friends wallet. Well like you are saying it's fine for me to say as i am "Assuming" it :)
    Hope you spend it wisely.

    !!!!!!! What is wrong with you! The OP is unemployed so it was just assumed that they were on JSA. If not, then they are not.

    Get off your high horse.

    I think if I could get a loan, then i'd buy the best damn suit I could buy and a pair of church shoes and go to some interviews, but that's just me. Good luck op! have you tried looking on freecycle/gumtree etc?

    !!!!!! is wrong with you? He clearly said he is living on savings. How can you say you are living on JSA when no one mentioned it? Narrominded busy bodies is all you are.
