    Good luck for your interview and registration today! You're doing exactly the right thing applying for everything you can - I'm sure something will come of it soon. Even if you found a job that doesn't seem like the perfect thing or exactly what you'd ideally be doing/earning, it would still be a job that will bring in some regular income and make life easier - and remember that pretty much any job, even a seemingly perfect one, has its boring or frustrating moments anyway!

    Ditch the post code lottery, that £24 could go to your emergency fund. Does spend include clothes and footwear? Do you still belong to slimming world? I know you popped up on that thread once.
    And wow aren't your service charges high. my daughter pays £1,400 per annum for her 2 bed here in West Berks
