Thanks NLW - we really are all in the same boat ....sometimes I do feel like I am drifting out to sea ...ok most of the time ha ha ...
I do agree with you, I think less when I am busy. So being the productive girl that I am I have got my A into G today and started the ball rolling again.
I had a really really really down couple of days and then this morning decided that I should just get it over with and drown myself (kidding) but then after a cuppa (amazing what a good cuppa can do) I went and saw my cousin who owns a bar/cafe/restaurant and asked him "if I walked in off the street and asked for a job what would you look for" he told me what he would like to see experience/qualification wise and then pointed me in the right direction to find out about courses.
So rang the local college to find out they do loads of courses and many are free if eligible. So have enquired about: First Aid Food Safety Personal Licence (liquor) Customer Service Health and Safety.
The college is checking dates and whether I am eligible for fee free (love love that word FREE!!) and is contacting me tomorrow with the info.
Then spoke to a company who does accounting/bookkeeping packages for business - they do a course for those wanting to learn their system. Its online learning and I get certificates for each stage completed - its the most used program businesses use in the UK. It will take me approx 6mths to a Yr to complete but then together with the course I did in Nz before I left I will be able to do agency work to fill in gaps between jobs.
THEN I spoke to my friend who has agreed to teach me Barista so that is free too - loving that word !!
So today has been very productive -
Oh, and been invited to go to a rollerskating rink on Saturday Evening - Hilarious; me on rollerskates ha ha ha
