Thanks everyone.
I'm getting a very low response rate, though, so I'm guessing I'm over qualified for crappy jobs and not quite qualified enough for good ones.
Seems to be my problem as well. I ended up going self employed and doing contract work. Which is really nice because I can have as many holidays as I want, take them when I want and if I don't want to do a job / contract I don't have to. If I feel like playing on the playstation all day instead of going to work I can do. Although at the moment I have got a cushy contract with good money at a major UK electrical company and I'd like to keep them happy. I'm working on getting employed by them permanently.
