Tried a starting a few small businesses that kept hope alive - and just about paid for food for a couple of years, but barely.

I had a look over the bankruptcy forum. Puts limitations on running businesses - and therefore leaves the less attractive option of "gainful" employment.

Hi. You seem to be hanging on to the idea of starting a business, when you have had several failures in the past. Do you have an aversion to actually working at a job for an employer? Are you chasing a dream? Maybe you should be more realistic and try harder to find gainful employment instead of living in cloud cuckoo land. Sorry to be so harsh but you seem to have a mental block where taking a job is concerned.

Your lack of national insurance contributions will affect your entitlement to a pension later on, as already mentioned. You should be signing on so at least they will be covered.

Don't wait for something to come along because it may never happen. Be pro active now, get back into the system. You haven't got a lot of working life left, unless you intend to carry on until you are ninety. Best of luck.
