No, but I couldn't work there through the week as I have another job and honestly does Tesco have a good career structure for staff?

i dunno

but as most are open 24 hours, you should be able to fit in some hours to make your part time hours into full time, and then when your library job finishes you can do more hours

i thought you were all about the money anyway. it's a way to earn more money. won't stop you whining though

Let's see, council tax is £100 plus a month, house insurance is hundreds of pounds a year, then water, gas, phone-- I don't think 400 ish quid a month would cover it all.

Sell the place and buy a smaller one, take in lodgers...ye gods...talk about a glass half empty!!!!!

But that's the whole thing, I have no skills to offer another job and that is why I can't get another.

Yet you expect to be a top management/executive/professional at 21 and 7/8ths or something :rolleyes:

with 25% single person's discount your ct should be much lower.

i live in london without any discount and council tax is less than 100 a month, i pay 180 a year for insurance, water is about 18 a month, electric 30 a month, phone is 4 a month..........................

It makes me so mad that I have spent years studying 50 hours a week and I am not even fit enough for a decent job.

It makes me so [strike]mad[/strike] sad at times that I have spent 6 years studying [strike]50[/strike] 15 hours a week [it was part time]and I am not even fit enough for a [strike]decent[/strike] job because of my health.

At least there are loads of things to be thankful for.:D

Come on Phil. Get a grip. Your wallowing wont change your situation. Positive action will though.

I challenge you to start a feel good thread. If you put more effort into positive threads than negative ones, it will lift your spirits and you can then tackle the issues with a healthier frame of mind.

So let's see ... whatever he buys with his wages which is free of income tax he does not have to pay a penny V.A.T. Is that what you are saying.?

You keep missing the point phil. What many of us are trying to tell you is that posting these threads again and again is not going to help you at all.

And yeah, you need to apply to all sorts of jobs that you can remotely do even if they are menial. Then you can move up.

Otherwise just accept your fate and stop complaining. There are young people with no roof over their head and no income at all.

I have been doing that, but how come there is no moving up or even move to more job security for me?
