If you want something to keep you busy you could do what I do, and study for a new area test.
I have two counties but have been working on my third the last couple of years, just make a list of places of interest and then learn them for every town and village in the new county, then do all the estates. I have a folder now with about 200 + pages in it of the new county, am going over it now, by the time the country is back up and running I should be ready to sit the test.
Fair play but why bother Cost benifit analyses how much work is there in the new county ?If the answer is loads then just go work it earn the coin .Whats the chances of being caught working the area and whats the penelty as Nike the God of whatever says JUST DO IT .
The new area for me has a college, the two counties I work in does not. so i can work student nights or rag week etc.
its very good for keeping you busy, if i ever used to have a quiet day, i would work at the folder and felt i was doing something useful that would eventually pay off.
how do you mean chances of getting caught working in the area? it would be legal for me to be working in the new county, once i pass the test.
