Thanks for the input PostScript... I don't currently have other options, but in a month's time I will have completed my HND, which should help.

Luckily for me, I have paid off pretty much all my debts I had, so I am financially quite free of things, my biggest outgoing being my car.

Perhaps I should hold off for a while then.
It just pissed me off today when my college mate swaggers in now he is gettin 30k after tax and younger than me, and less qualified than me !!! I try not to let it bother me but, it does.

I need to take a good think rather than waltz in tomorrow without other options.
