Currently, I'm not doing anything and really do need to do something. The problem is, I have a holiday booked at the end of October and before then (depending on whether or not my blood tests come back clear) I'm likely to have quite a few doctors/hospital appointments.
Am I better off waiting until after October to get a job or should I get one now? Even though I'm likely to need quite a bit of time off.

If you just need to do something you could volunteer in a charity shop or something.
But if you were to get a job most employers ask if you have any holidays booked and that prior to you starting so I wouldn't worry until nearer the time. If you prove to them you can work hard despite outside distractions and be consistant with them it shouldn't be a problem.
Cool, well what to do is go volunteer in a charity shop. It's not paid but they're really flexible about your hours. They're ALWAYS looking for folk and it'll look amazing on your CV when you go forth and look for a paid job.
It's up to you, but if money's not an issue and you're just looking to fill your day then that would work, I reckon.
Or a pub job, work evenings part time - away from hospital appointments etc. Your hours will be less which would mean that you won't be looked on that harshly when you go on holiday.
i used to volunteer and it was pretty good, i joined up with millenium volunteers and got lots of pretty certificates which look good in your portfolio.
they're known for being arse holes
