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
