well I got a phonecall this morning offering me a job, a very crappy job working in a meat processing factory. The place has a really high turnover off staff and has a really bad reputation. I told the lady I would think about it and get back to her that afternoon.
Anyhow I was browsing UJM when A job on their today came up, only NMW but it is local (well a bike ride), 37.5 hr week and a lot nicer place to work working in a goods in position. So I called, they told me to send a cv within 30 mins I was asked to go down to see them and an hour later I now have a job starting 9am tomorrow. It is through an agency, a slightly better one than the rest, working for a high street fashion shops warehouse.
Its not what I'm trained for and the wages aren't anywhere near what I was earning, in fact two years ago I was earning double, but its a start and I'm ready to give it my all. Just shows that sometimes things happen when you least expect them to.

Bedroom Tax / Spare room subsidy / Housing Benefit Reduction - It's the same thing, get over it.
