Anything that invlolves wires - I'm employed as a fully skilled auto electrician but thats not strictly true - yeh I know my way round a bus now but would poo myself doing anything on top end cars etc..

Lots of ex TVR lads were working with me and I held my own with them - good lads too this is ****ed up for those too they've only just had to endure this!

I'd working in tesco right now if it'd pay the bills but when your used to £9-10 an hour the fall to shop work is huge - I can't do it its simply not enough cash.

Feel proper trapped right now

I've got one dude I can contact and I'd probably stand a good chance of getting on but with every will in the world I don't want to

Thats a very very last option

Thought about setting up as self employed or ltd company specialising in your area of expertise?

Best way IMHO no toss pot ordering you about. Best of all you can use all the ideas etc from previous job and go into competition with them :lol:

I was in your position a year ago or so, shite at the time with a baby on the way, but looking back twas the best thing to happen to me. Although thats of no use to you at the mo.

If I hear anything I'll let you know.

Good luck!

oh dear...

get yourself signed up with nearest agency asap.. they always have something going, might be some shitty factory work but if its £200 a week coming in while your looking for something better you'll not get yourself in a financial mess.

if you can get to liverpool/warrington easy enough each day i can get you some temp work, not far from you down m62. my dad can sort you out something basic cash in hand, then its up to you if you wanna top it up with a bit of job seekers ;)

pm me if you need dude

Right problems 99% solved :D

Going back to one of my old companys in my old job - 5 grand pay drop mind and nights but thats EXACTLY what I need - a kick up the arse.

I'm going back to college/uni and gonna get me my Electrical certificates - I can do it anyway I just need the paperwork for a door to open up - with what I know now I can easily walk into 24-26k and I always said if I can earn 25k a year I'm a lucky man :D

So thanks for your help lads I appreciate it - might see me in a few weeks posting at some silly times!
