understandably you want to move, but you dont NEED to move. yes you dont have guaranteed hours/wage but it is work at the end of the day. i understand you have few/little outgoings so if i were in your sitch; i'd save money, get onto a decent course which will extend/represent your skills in IT then buy a shit hot suit and find a job in your field.
as for e-arguging. dont de a douche and arguements wouldn't start
Heh, solid advice. I guess I don't want to move immediately, I am just thinking about a few years down the line. It is the kind of work you can do easily if you can just switch your brain off, which is what I do most days, but some days are harder than others. As for e-arguing, the same could be said of youBut your advice is good.

my mrs dad started off as a postman now he is quite high up and on decent money with a decent pension at the end of it... but the state of the royal mail at the moment isnt great. witha ll the redundancies and cost cutting even though they made over something stupid like 5 billion profit last year
(dont quote me on the 5 billion i know it was incredibly high though)
Hmm, yeah, I guess there are different job opportunities in the company. That's a good idea actually, I hadn't thought of that. But yeah, it's not too bad, depends how much mail there is on a given day.

I find the IT jobs on gov.uk and (mainly) jobsinkent.com. I used to browse the following websites 7 days a week:
totaljobs
jobs24
jobsite
monster
cvlibrary
indeed
reed
cwjobs
purelyit
theitjobboard
jobsinkent
kentjobs
newappointmentsgroup
It was mind numbing and soul destroying so I narrowed it down to the only website I have ever had success with (gov.uk) and the most active local website (jobsinkent.com). I never ever had not one response from all the others so I don't go on them anymore. Although I do occasionally used reed.co.uk because it is easy and has a nice interface.
pretty much all the good sites in there i've always had most success with uploading my C.V to reed and cv libary and letting the employers call me i got quite alot of calls regularly.
