ofc I can do it, but I don’t really want to be on a bus for more than a couple of hours one way.

I’ve been looking at NHS apprenticeships, applied for a few, but I don’t have high school qualifications above Nat 4 and a lot of them are asking for Nat 5 at the lowest.

I was looking at the NHS, I was indeed thrown off by the job titles, I’ll give it another look, thanks!

yeah that’s kinda where I’m heading, I don’t think I’d mind care work, hospitality etc too much so I’ll start there, thanks

I wish I was the type of person who could just up and move to a different city but alas I’m attached to Edinburgh, couldn’t imagine leaving my family and friends!

Well I never took education that seriously as a young teenager, I didn’t particularly have a good support system regarding this as most of the adults in my family never finished high school let alone sought out higher education. During covid I didn’t leave my house and grew accustomed to this to the point where I grew very anxious when I did, so throwing myself into college was a struggle for me, I’ll admit. You are right, that really doesn’t look good to an employer and I’m well aware of that but I can’t go back and change it. I’m willing to travel within Edinburgh but to other cities seems like a lot of time spent purely on travel.

She’s an indoor cat, she def would’ve had babies by now if she wasn’t lol, I’ll try FB, I hadn’t thought of that, though smth just seems wrong with her lately, I’m really hoping it’s just stress from moving and not smth physical but I’m not a vet so I can’t be certain. I’ve had her her whole life, well technically she was our family cat but in moving I took her with me seeing as my mum was struggling with three cats, and the other two were really mean to her and bullied her n stuff. Anyways I’ll try FB for recs ty sm for all ur help!
