i know a bloke who delivers and collects charity bags (dunno who for but i'm sure google could help) - £150 a week for 3 days work a week, that would be perfect

Congratulations, as an ex-sailor I'd heartily recommend any of the Armed Forces as a career choice, I thoroughly enjoyed my time!

Is there any chance of some sort of Courier work near you? Then you could ride your bike and make money while doing it!

At least your joining as a technician.

Was a bit worried you were gonna say scopey or steward as there having a real struggle recruiting them at the minute.

You'll love it! It's with out a shadow of a doubt one of the best careers out there at the moment and the wages are pretty good once you get out of trade training.

well done mate-use the five months wisely-get your fitness levels as high as you can-if you can manage the physical stuff in the forces it makes everything else thats happening alot easier to deal with.

Well done!

I'd plump for part time work to tide you over, even bar work or something if you can get it.
