So it's coming up to a year now and I'm one of the millions of "Underemployed". I think there's a few more here too.
What have I achieved? I've been part of A Hard Day's Month and broken back into Newsrevue plus I've got a holiday to New Zealand booked for May.
The money will last me to about the end of the year. I'm working on a few plays and hoping to get one staged in August.
Then what?
Hope and pray .... but overall it hasn't been a bad 10 months.

You have money enough to last you till the end of the year, if I got made redundent tomorrow my savings would last me about 2 months...
I wouldn't complain too much chappers, people have it much much worse.
You could try breaking into the card industry? I never did it but it's probably the only workable way of turning writing into earnings.
The other 2 areas where there always seem to be a need are.
1 Social care (it's not as bad as it's made out to be)
2 Training, the course takes 5 days.
The government has so denegrated training and education retraining into a new career isn't so hard.

I'd last about 2 months with the hope I got a months pay as redundancy pay. I'd have to move back home.
With my redundancy...oh yeh we don't have one.
I'd live in the woods off berries and moss.

Would you wear leaves to cover what little modesty you have?

I'd fashion myself a sheath from bark.

That could chaff somewhat. Or is that the idea?

I'd thought about that before. Maybe I'll look into it again.

I'd also looked into working in a care home - but I'd probably need one myself first.
