  • Have an appointment at the Job Centre tomorrow - nervous!!

    Didn't really want to claim benefits but I am entitled too so it will be a help.

    Keep you all posted.

    Good luck with the appointment. Have you prepared a CV to bring with you? My sister used to bring one with her every time she went to one along with a list of things she'd done and things she was aiming to do before the next appointment. I'm not sure they were ever used in the appointments but she found it a useful exercise at the time.

    Oh and well done on your first driving lesson!

    Well done! Hopefully this will be me this time next year, what a nice Christmas present it is!

    Good luck with driving too, you will get there but don't rush yourself!
  • Thanks Marlie!

    Yeah I think I am just getting to the realisation that there is no rush at all. I will take it nice & slow.

    Yay, so how much do you need for your deposit?
  • Probably about £12 to £15k.

    That will be enough for deposit plus any fees.

    Its gonna take a while but will be well worth it in the end.
