Quite a lot of my readers may know that at weekends I like to take a somewhat holistic approach to the situation of looking for a job and having no money ...It is so easy to stay indoors all day every day, frantically looking for a job and going out of your mind with worry about paying bills and lasting out until the next benefit payment . Nobody can deny that it is extremly difficult to have a life with no spare cash, even free events, of which there are many in towns and cities to be found advertised on the internet usually end up involving some perhaps small but unvoidable cost. However, trying to keep in circulation actually helps you to be aware of what is going on, up on current affairs, networking and making contacts and to be job ready....
This site is perhaps slightly wacky....designed to take the seriousness and heaviness out of being an adult and if anything makes you realise you are grown up its having no job and bills to pay...losing your home, dealing with the benefits office is a very grown up event...there are suggestions for chilling that are just a touch OTT... and making a prank call to your friend if it was the wrong friensd on the wrong day could land you in serious trouble but there are archives going back to 2002, with fun ideas, even if some have to be ruled out as rather extreme . On the other hand postings such as Honey, I Shrunk The Apartment, a humerous but sensible article about organising are good..especially when its important to keep your job search organised and the house and your affairs in order, ready to start work immediately if you get an opportunity.
There are links that you can purchase but the free stuff on the site is plenty to amuse and give ideas. I love Cool Things under the categories label and On a budget has brilliant articles including How to get your family talking....rather than the electronic gadgets we are so frequently attached to ....
