So, some of you know this didn't exactly go to plan.
Anyway, I finally managed to go in the job centre place to see about cancelling the JSA claim...just be given a phone number as that's the only way to cancel it...f*ck you Alexander Graham Bell.
So it starts again with trying phone them lol...
Didn't/couldn't ask if they had any info or advice on being self employed but it doesn't seem like the right place to ask anyway, they only seem interested in benefits there. Is there an actual place to ask for job advice, like what quals would be needed or what's legal or not?
Re: doctors, not managed to go in there either yet. Does anyone know if you're not allowed to use previous doctors after moving? Just wondering if it'd be easier to go to the previous surgery, at least I wouldn't have to try and register first, but think you have to change after moving?
Was talking to someone earlier though, who does mobile mechanics on the other side of Ipswich. He only does 'easy' things and wouldn't do clutches or cambelts etc, but makes enough money doing that. I had assumed it was big jobs that earnt the money with that but maybe not. Do you need qualifications or traders insurance or anything? If it's just changing brakes, oil & filters servicing, pre-MOT checks, OBD2 scans etc on my own flexible time that's something that I may be able to do?
