Are you trapped in part-time work?

Part-time work can be a blessing - leaving you with more time to spend with your family, but for many, part-time work has become a trap. 1.4 million people work part-time not through choice but because they cannot find full-time work. That figure has never been higher. Are you one of them?

Would you love a full-time job?

The number of men stuck in part-time work has doubled in the last four years. Do you feel like you are letting your family down because you cannot get a full-time job? Do you ever think you might be better off on benefit?

If you used to hold down a good full-time job how do you feel about part-time status? Have you learned to love it, or do you mourn your old career? Have you had to make a massive salary sacrifice just to stay working?

How much do you know about Twitter?

Everyone is doing it apparently - from politicians to celebrities, sporting stars to newspaper mogals and you have 140 characters to write what you want to say and hit the send button.

Twitter has been responsible for breaking news stories and even making news stories.

It should come as no surprise, then, that more Britons are addicted to Twitter than ever before.

The social network has just passed ten million active users in the UK.

Worldwide, there are 140 million.

Do you use Twitter for business or pleasure? Or is this social media technology just passing you by?

We speak to Marc Lemezma, a social media expert from Kent, who is here to give us a crash course in how to use it.
