That's just it - I don't. But I am hallucinating it. It's not helped by my student cousin hanging around - he's a slacker master. Only gets up at 1pm, took us 2 weeks to go to the frickin' cinema.
Can't bring myself to do any DIY either. Doomed.Comment

That's what the bench is like. I keep seeing contracts on Jobserve but when I click apply, they don't exist. Instead they are replaced by blurred images of Richard and Judy.
Didn't see the programme, but thanks for reminding me of it - I'll watch it on the iPlayer laterComment

Can't bring myself to do any DIY either. Doomed.
a) Apply for one job per day. It has to be a realistic job! And you have to speak to the agent. Having done so, have the rest of the day off.
b) Treat it as a full-time job: 35 hours Monday to Friday. No more, no less. This is what I aim to do. (I usually do more like 60 hours Sunday to Friday lunchtime.)
c) Do what you can from 09:00 until Slacker Master gets up, then stop trying.
d) Half hour on, one hour off. If you spend 30 minutes looking for a job, you can have a reward of 60 minutes doing something else.
Bugger the DIY. Finding an income is far more important. Then pay Diver's wife to do your DIY!Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
