:welcome: & good luck :)

have a look at the sticky threads above - there's lots of info there & a thread where you can post that you are looking for work.

if you have any questions about anything else - fire away !!
To be honest there are literally thousands of people with your background who are out of work. IF you get work you'll be paid peanuts, self employed and your N.I. is 250 a month regardless if you have worked or not, not benefits to fall back on, nothing, nowt. You'd need to work about 30 hours a week to cover NI and rent on a pretty basic apartment. If the children are over about seven they would need a private school so you need to work another 40 hours a week to pay for that, add on fuel, food, power/utility and you'd need to work a 12-15 hour day seven days a week on the pay you'd likely receive and thats before you've had a beer. Not a good time to move in all honesty.
sadly just about all that is true - I'd stretch it to 9 or 10 though before you seriously need private school
