I noticed that most of you here don?t have a job so how are you surviving e.g paying rent, going out, food etc?

We need to survive somehow !!! I find that moving between woman also helps in the accomodation issue..

Morning, well as like so many here I am not working, nor do I claim Social Welfare, my b/f is a Social Worker, I have good savings (well I did have) back in the UK that I use more than I like to, my boyfriend pays for all the bills including food as well as giving me 'pocket' money for myself! I so want a job not just for myself but for my b/f so that he can treat himself to whatever he wants and that WE don't have to be 'careful so much'

ALL IN ALL we do have it good though!

I don't understand where you got the idea the most of the people here don't have a job.

probably because they post on here all day and thus cannot be doing much work!

i for one would breeze into you guys´offices and show a real work ethic if only i could get in there and oust you.

as for surviving, it´s down to the generosity of friends´relatives, when that runs out next weekend i am officially in deep doo doo for accomodation until my ex comes back home to stockholm on dec 12.

anyone with a bit of space for a skint and worried foreigner to crash, don´t hesitate to let me know (i will not try to steal your job in return)

Hej!
I work as a tidningsbärare (newspaper boy)every day around 2 and a half hours a day...My girlfriend works as an undersköterska..we survive but have little left over at the end of the month...For all those out there who dont have a job its a job worth considering...You do however start work at around 3.am..Its well paid considering the amount of hours that you work and convenient as well as it allows you to post here all day :wink:
Anyone interested should click the link below and write a short intro to themselves...good luck!! biggrin.gif

In addition i must say that if you dont get a reply keep trying and dont give up as its the swedish way to show that you are interested in the job by continually appying for it...In the Uk we would say "Stuff you" but as you all know its a little different here...The link given covers the offices throughout the kingdom so you should find one in your area...cheers
