This is a question Unemployed

I was Mordred writes, "I've been out of work for a while now... however, every cloud must have a silver lining. Tell us your stories of the upside to unemployment."

You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Ups and downs..
Upsides:

* I can sleep in
* I have gotten much better at my GTA games
* I've taken up yogalates and lost almost a stone AND dropped a dress size (FINALLY - was getting a bit lardy - too many pizzas!)
* It gives me a chance to catch up on my dvd watching
* I'm learning myself a bit of photoshop

Downsides:

* I'm bored
* I'm constantly drooling over the DSLR Camera that I badly want but can't afford
* Unemployment levels just keep on rising as they are so fond of telling me
* The woman who signs me on each fortnight is seriously up herself and appears to think I'm taking the paltry benefit I receive directly from her bank account
* I am skint and I hate it

Ok the negatives outweigh the positives.. but I'm still (kind of) smiling at the moment...!

Anyone want to take up the job of being my rich husband?

Maybe
but you'll have to promise never to utter the 'word' 'gotten' again. Except as part of 'Gott in Himmel'.

Deal?

Gotten?
It was good enough for Shakespeare.
