Glad you're home @Meowmy 

I'm just looking at work options...not getting anywhere fast, but anyway

[TAB]

whatever did happen with you and DES @StuF  ?  have they decided your category not worth pursuing ? it varied with me , but then again most of time I was only ever told hm hrs was expected to do , not what funding category I was in .

[TAB]

Hey @TAB 

DES is still kinda happening- see my consultant every fortnight. Was originally looking for volunteering stuff with some study (which isn't DES' bag, of course, but she's happy to help me)

Given up on study for now, and not having a huge amount of luck with volunteering so far- but just found a site which should help...also looking for paid work, but really don't want to do much more than 15-20 hours which is making life difficult...That and I don't really have a lot of 'skills'.

Anyways, because I'm with them voluntarily, she's not pushing me into anything. But I see her this Thursday and really need to start making more progress!

doesnt sound easy @StuF could you work at a supermarket or something just part time? like stacking shelves or something? prob not the best people to work for tho I guess

[TAB]

I might try a walk in the sun here @Meowmy  might charge my batteries up lol
