I will register at Job Centre when time comes because of National Insurance and pension thing. I will actively seek jobs that I can physically do and will not cost me more than they are worth in transportation costs.

Perfect, VT. A lot of people have a very negative view of job centres, and quite often for good reason. They are however, in my experience (2 daughters and a son registered at one time or another) staffed by helpful and sympathetic people. Son #3 is currently on the dole (I made him redundant - how cruel is that!) and he has been on an excelent computer course so far. His assigned worker at the job centre is like a friend and does his best to place him in a suitable job. There is no stigma involved at all.

Go for it gal!
