Good luck with the searching, it's tedious but worth it in the end

Was made redundant at the end of October. Ended up on ESA in February with a shot back as a result of being sat at home.

 

Got various whiffs of the recruitment process proceeding for a DWP vacany I applied for in November and there's been the odd sniff of a job but nothing more than that.

 

On Monday I got so fed up with it I decided to sign off ESA, create my own job and go self employed before I ran out of money to buy stock with. Today I've just had my first sale which was not bad considering it was done as a toe dipping exercise, just advertising with postcards in local corner shop and newsagents. Cards haven't even been in the window 24hrs yet. My next port of call once my stationary and signage has been done is a stall on the local once a week market. £15 a week gets me a stall that the council provide on the high street in my town with a bucketload of passing foot traffic and no more than 50 yards from three cash points.

 

I'll not make a mint but its better than dole and working tax credits take up some of the slack too.
