I was out of work for nine months around the dot com bubble burst, I was just fine as I had a sensible war-chest. Living invoice to invoice is not freelancing, it's chancing.
Mind you, I now have a family and I'd struggle now to do that. Could manage five to six months but I'd be drained to my last quid.Comment

They should be encouraging the punters to order more tat .The whole country can get delivery jobs if we move from a service based consumer society to just a consumer society getting it all delivered. All it needs is endless 'as good as free, worry about paying it back later' credit, like the government have been finding down the back of the houses of parliament sofa.
A bit of genuine sofa news.
Half the country orders food and tat and the other half delivers it.Comment

How such articles make it to mainstream press is beyond me.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

It doesn't matter if people are earning £10k or £300k - if their lifestyle is beyond their income, they're going to be screwed as soon as that regular pay check stops coming in.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
