Fact or Fiction?

Retraining funding- Is it fact or fiction?

Once one has been made redundant because the bank, supermarket, car manufacturer, government department or corner shop has gone down the toilet, you are left with a sickening question.
Why me? What did I do wrong to deserve this?
Of course you rush of to the social services with wringing hands and register for assistance.

And then it gets very interesting. Some days you scream with frustration, some days you want to strangle the very people that say they can help you. But mostly you laugh hysterically until the tears start running down your face.
The next day you pick yourself up, trying hard to be positive and start all over again.
I have still yet to discover, if the retraining funding is fact or fiction…?

In the beginning

At the start of any activity or enterprize, one sets out to achieve certain objectives, allowing for the mercurial nature of life and trusting that if approached in the right manner, a certain amount of success will be achieved.
My blog is going to be a record of this venture, listing all the trials tribulations along the way.

I hope to elicit some response, so that I may learn from others and in doing so, make the journey less painful. Above all, I wish it to be fun, but accept that due to the nature of some of the future content, it will cause much needed interaction and in doing so benefit all those that grace us with their visits?
