    If you want to quit then that's up to you but you won't be entitled to sign on if you've intentionally made yourself unemployed (and they do often check with the agency/employer!). Do you really need 3 months of sitting round doing nothing or would it be better to 'put up' for what is a relatively short period and build up a bit of savings that are there if you need it - and trust me it's amazing how often things don't go to plan and you find yourself short.

    If you think your job is boring, try not having one. There's nothing worse.

    If you want more time for yourself, could you go part-time?
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
  • You're lucky to have a temp role.

    I do temping myself and yes sometimes the roles are boring but you grin and bear it because it makes you look good and it brings in some money.

    My temp role finished a couple of weeks ago and I am trying to find another one with no joy at the moment.

    I've paid into the system and would like my money back. The welfare state is in no place to preach morals.

    Bless your naive little socks. Your tax and NI is not a savings pot, you know. Walk out of a perfectly good (albeit boring) job and it is highly unlikely you'll get any benefits.

    Loving your entitlement attitude though - you'll go far.
