Well another day another no dollar for me and at least I have done my psych evaluation with the B&Q website! I like their style to analyse their applicants using a tick box. Jokes aside I would love a job in B%Q as I have an addiction with DIY but with the jobless market so saturated at the moment I have little hope. Tomorrow morning I will be on the radio again with the good morning wales team discussing the unemployment annual figures that will be announced. I hope I can fit in everything I have written down but the ten minute slots we have on these live broadcasts are restrictive. So I better get some rest as I am on at 7.20 bye

Hi i'm back!

Well I have not been entering my blog for some time as my computer was out of action. So apology’s to any readers out there. I thankfully have built a new machine and have installed windows 7 which is free for now from Microsoft. The problem is that I have so much to tell you all I will have raw fingers soon!
The job search has been very slow this year and manufacturing has been a problem. I seem to be skilled in the wrong type of employment so I went to a careers advisor.
She was a great help with recognising my situation but there is no training available to me as I was not made redundant. The gov has been quick to alter their policy allowing the training grants to come available after 6 months of unemployment. I does however make you question the fact with so many people being tossed onto the streets at the moment, would it be better to train them now and get them into jobs now rather than 6 months? The gov wants us to all lose our houses and our dignity along with it.
The local Jobcentre has changed my appointment time as the jobless have snowed them under! Perhaps they could give me a desk and I could move in!
Gordon brown visited Wales recently and I went on Radio Wales to talk about the visit and make some comments about his intentions. I still question his move to bail out the banks as the money we gave to help them seems to be unavailable to help small and large business. He needs to focus and decide who is more important his voters or the money men.
Well I hope my struggle will come to an end soon as I need crave vending machine coffee and greasy bacon rolls so fingers crossed!
