Updates...

Wow, I haven't updated this for almost a year! I didn't think it was that long ago but clearly it has been... Alas, not much changes for I still have virtually nothing to say :D

Actually that's a small lie I suppose. I have been a bit more active lately in doing things, I'm working at getting a new maths qualification that is similar to one done at school (GCSEs for those in England) but without algebra and geometry. Instead it's more every day maths such as fractions, percentages, area, volume etc.. and I can do that! I have the exam next week, Friday 13th July, ahhhhhh Friday 13th, it's a sign I tell ya.

On the work front, I'm now doing something via an organisation called the Shaw Trust and they're going to help me back into work. They specialise in helping people on benefits get back to work in a completely pressure free way and that's ideal for me and many others. At first I'll go on a placement that lasts upto 6 weeks usually, but it can be extended upto 13 weeks if both parties (myself and the placement) agree to it. After that is part-time work, upto 16 hours a week. Right now though I'm just concentrating on the work placement and will see what they can find me. It's all zero pressure so I'm very happy about that and optimistic for a change :)
