Originally posted by lukemgEasy, secret was passed on from a friend who had been out of work when he was younger. Simply - you need one thing to sort out per day, trip to the shops, mow lawn, visit library, tidy a room, doesn't have to be big. It doesn't matter what it is, you just need to know what it is when you get up each morning. You will be surprised how this fills in the time, breakfast, watch some telly, but still have the days task ahead, it works a treat especially when you have to go out somewhere to do it, before you know it it is 5pm and you will be running out of time. I used this on a break, works a treat.

Originally posted by TrollI've been contracting for 14 years & now find myself in the unenviable position of 'resting' as the contract finished yesterday & I have not managed to secure another one yet. I have 60k in the company accounts so not stuck for cash
Being unemployed is boring - daytime TV is krap, porn is too 2 dimensional, and I really can't be arsed to do all those little jobs around the house that wifey wants doing.
Don't wanna go on another holiday,
WTF can I do to pass the time?

If you look long enough you'll see Jesus in there.

Hey toad! Perhaps we could exchange pics of each other's walls? My favourite this week is the outer wall of the downstairs bog, got some great cobwebs!
