Morning
I'm sleeping much better now that I'm back in the big bed and I'm putting my phone on do not disturb mode before bed

Hello
It's amazing how much better I sleep without the job centre constantly on my case

when I finish my part time work at the end of June I will have to register as unemployed to claim my income insurance
I won't qualify for any payments as I have too much cash in the bank so I'm hoping they don't harrass me too much about applying for jobs. Do you reckon I should tell them I'm going travelling in the new year and therefore can only apply for short term contracts/temp work?

I've not signed on since I was about 17 and I'm sure things have changed a lot

If you've got more than £3k in the bank, you don't qualify for benefits
So they should leave you alone. If at all possible, avoid letting them put you on universal credit, as it's a fucking nightmare. If you're not in receipt of benefits, you can go abroad all you like.

I am concerned that they would hassle me about applying for permanent jobs which I couldn't even accept if offered

They'll only bother you if they're giving you money
Put off registering as unemployed for as long as you can
