  I wandered if it was health care because you mentioned shifts, i work in a hospital, just wandered if you could join your local hospital nurse bank as a HCA, you can do this alongside your job and you get to choose what shifts you do when, i work for the nurse bank as well as permenant and if i do a night shift on bank on a sat night i get the equlivlant of 3 normal shifts pay!!! anyways its worth thinking about it. Obviously if you decide to just work on nurse bank you don't get holiday pay or sick pay but you get to work when you want and can have time off whenever you like. Just an idea xx

  We live bout 20 mins from a hospital and i have quite alot of health care experience so might apply there i think the moneys better too although i think theres a bit of a waiting list for jobs. Might give tax credits or citizens advice a ring although you can never get through for ages! Thanks for your advice xx
