I finish finals in the first week of June (yippee!) so can try to find temp work for 3 weeks before dd finishes school for the summer hols. However, once she is off school, if I get temp work it will all go on childcare, which is pointless, and it is a big if! Despite trying desperately last year, and getting top marks on the computer tests, they didn't find me anything until November.
I can't look for permanent work as I start my professional training course in September, but we can't afford to have nothing coming in as my loan is lower this year as I should be finding work in the summer 
. Would I be entitled to Job Seekers Allowance if I haven't paid NI for 3 years?
Gah!
