When it gets to the point that you have to go begging to your parents so you can afford to buy your child a pack of nappies i dont think it can get any worse.
I'm permanantly in tears because i cant pay my debts, im going stir crazy not working, i've had to take my son out of nursery because i cant afford it anymore, his birthday is coming up and i'm getting stressed and worried because i'm not going to be able to afford to buy him anything.
If I dont get a job soon its only going to get worse and worse and I just cant see a way out of it. Theres no help or support and the job centre are useless!!

Really sorry to hear that.
You mentioned you'd applied for the job at the new wine bar, and I'd hoped you'd get it.
If I was looking to employ an honest hard worker, who knew tons of people in the area, who had experience in that line of work, and who had a very friendly but professional attitude, I wouldn't have to think twice about offering you the job.
Good luck in your search, and to you Flashy.
Their loss will be someone elses gain.
The most notable difference for me is that my gas bill is enormous. I've just phoned to check my gas consumption hadn't risen extraordinarily, and it hasn't. I think I'll have to plan to do what I did last year, and go and stay with my friends for a month in the winter sun, and leave the boiler turned off.
I'm lucky in many ways, especially compared to others seeking work, or like another Accy Web friend, who last week told me his income has fallen by a third, as his company have put everyone on short time for the foreseeable future.
