    Learning woodwork from youtube

    If it gets a comment, good or bad, it's promoted all the more. Most YouTube channels will purposefuly add contentious comments just to drive comments and/or arguments. Also, you'll notice deliberately mispronounced words or incorrect maths as this will drive multiple corrections. I'm noticing it...

    THE FOURTH OF JULY

    Wow, this has turned into the most cynical posts I've read. However, I also agree that we're unlikely to be in a better position no matter which clown makes their way into Downing Street. We can only hope for a better establishment next time......

    Budget mitre saw with forward facing rails

    Wow that's a great find, I've been in the market for the makita as well but haven't found one at a reasonable price. I may save up and buy myself one eventually, I'm a bit of a makita fan anyway and have several of their range. The other consideration was a capaex which is still a contender for...

    I briefly explored this option when I was with the ex wife, maybe one to revisit.

    I am aware of GIST on 2 fronts. I worked there many years back as a stop gap for an agency. I think i was there 2 weeks but as it was agency, I left for a permanent contract elsewhere. Some years later, It's nice to know someone with a positive view of the company they work for, that really...

    The IOSH course was an IOSH accredited managing health and safety at work course. Consultant work would be a great thing to do, so I can look at the additional education to gain the letters required.

    Thanks Howard, I was involved in the use of copilot at work, Microsofts AI assistant. I'll take a look at the site and will use it to help, thank you.

    Thanks Nick, I appreciate the support. Time will tell how everything will work out. I've started making steps with the various websites. You're right though, for every door closed, another opens. The sun is already shining today so that makes the world a better place. Options are abound, I'll...

    Thanks Jacob, I'm on your page here completely. As I mentioned, bills are tracked quite closely. I've never missed a bill in my life, and won't start now. I'll visit job centre on Monday to find out what's available nowadays. I'm already in a little debt on 2 credit cards due to the ongoing and...

    A day at the beach is a great idea. I'd planned to make today a day of "no work". I'm currently coming towards the end of a house extension, and I've been fitting the kitchen and building a media wall amongst many other random tasks, ergo 99% of my free time has been taken with DIY tasks.

    I love the idea, and think about it quite often. But I have the financial fear that may ensue with an extended gap in my CV. A couple of weeks might be not too much of an issue. Now I'm thinking 🤔

    Thanks Triton, I own a bike and it's been sitting in the garage unused for quite some time. I used it a lot when I went through my divorce so it's a good idea to dust it down and get back out on the road. We have some great canals not too far away. I'm not one not to work, but a bit of free...

    Thanks Fitzroy, I appreciate the feedback. All good solid advice, my thoughts are doing summersaults and sleep is difficult. But everything will be OK one way or another.

    Thank you for the information. It's always good to hear the positive outcomes from a situation. Knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel helps. I'm considering lots of options at the moment. I would love a change, to do something more creative. My issue is, I lack creativity lol. I'm...

    We do have a plethora of local warehousing and distribution in this neck of the woods. I'll consider similar, or a complete change of career. Thank you

    Totally agree, struggling on with the cost cutting exercises has been tough. I'm hoping this will be a new beginning and a positive turn of events. Thank you

    I have LinkedIn although I've neglected it for some time, I got a little tired with all the fakery and derriere kissing. But perhaps it's worth revisiting. I have used indeed, CV library and a few other sites. I worked with a plasterer (rendering, screeding, damp proofing etc) for several years...

    I do have a package on offer, so there will be money enogh for a few months. I'm not single, but my partner is employed, we don't have children (my 2 children from past relationship are 18 and 20) Thank you, you are right, it could well be a great opportunity, I'll be exploring what's available...

    I would consider self employment, in fact, it's something I've been thinking about for a while. I've wanted to offer some sort of service for older generation, a general supportive handyman kind of role. I'm sick of hearing the regular stories where people are being ripped off by unscrupulous...

    Evri. New Flat pack delivery.

    I always worry when I get the dreaded "Evri - we have you parcel" email. However, my experience to date has actually been good with them here. We used to use Hermes some time back as a delivery company at work, we stopped based on the large number of complaints. I'm sorry about your situation...
