@creative_writer  I finished my course end of Nov. At least now I have got certs, finished course( was applying a month b4 finished) and have an idea of where I stand in the job market.

Yeah cat is a dependent lol.

Am tapping into super to get by. I have an Inheritance coming from O/S been 2 years and legal fees so far, but could be a reasonable amount. I was more concerned with trying to get experience, then work only when it suited me. With paying for accom and travel ,would not have been making much anyway, plus would lose pension concessions if worked more than 12 weeks in a row . Ok am on jobseeker but had pension healthcare card last 7 years
