Where Merlin isn't mentioned once

So I have been having thinkyness about life, mine in particular, and its existence within the British Isles. Am still fevered and icky, so bear with me.
I am currently In Debt. This, they tell me, is no longer how we do things in the UK. Now we're meant to Live Within Our Means. Well, being Unemployed and In Debt, my means are below zero. So I guess I'll be doing things the Old Fashioned Way until I get a Job.
The Problem is, of course, that the transition from Old Fashioned Way to Living Within Our Means has caused Mass Unemployment. Which leaves me in the Unfortunate Predicament whereby I need a Job (for Obtaining of Monies), a Vehicle (by which to Transport Self to Job), and a House (read: Cheap Spare Room in Someone Else's House), but not being Very Likely to get the first or the last.
This is a Long Way of saying that sometimes, one just Has To Do what one Has To Do, and if that requires Moving to East Asia for a year, thereby Postponing all Previous Plans, in order to change being Unemployed and In Debt to being Employed and Solvent, then So Be It.
ETA: Have applied for a job as a PA to the 'Drama Team' at the Beeb. Chances of me getting through first stage are 42876 to 1 against.
