    @Chloe234 So amazing! Pets are the best, aren't they? :)

    @FordRanger It is ok to acknowledge that you felt angry. Anger can be channeled in different ways though and some of those ways might mean you are less likely to have your chats ended <3

    @independent_ Christmas is coming quickly now, isn't it? How are you feeling about Christmas? :)

    @leyla26 how are you? Feels like it been ages!!

    @FordRanger ooh we did a long journey in the Mokka yesterday, what a great car. I love it, and i always think of you when i have car news!

    @Laura_tigger82 yeah I love ticking stuff off too. I’m just having to drag myself through at the moment because I can’t ignore the fact christmas is in 2 days :lol:

    @independent_ Nice, I think my uncle is getting a Corsa work car at some point because he was a driving instructor before covid but he didn't get back into it after but now he's getting back into it at some point next year. Pick me up in the Mokka though, I could have a go at it too.

    It sounds positive that you are aware of some spaces you can still access and receive support @FordRanger. We believe you'll get there and be more motivated in time when you are ready :)

    @FordRanger She definitely did not phrase whatever she was trying to say well, it's not helpful to someone who needs help to imply they're failing at the moment when that's not true. But also I'm not sure kicking off helped the situation either, even though I totally understand why you were so mad, so I guess try to leave the situations first if you can

    It's always tricky when it feels like people don't understand what we are feeling or say something that insensitive. We can't control this, but as Leyla says, we can control our reactions to these things and so removing ourselves from unhelpful or hurtful conversations wherever possible can be the best way forward.

    Just an fyi, I have removed the images of your conversation as these are private messages, and I think you've given a good overview of the conversation. Charities should have ways to complain if you are unhappy with the support they have provided, so I would encourage you to raise it through those channels.

    Whilst what they said wasn't helpful for you, it is good that you felt able to reach out to for support. What kind of things do you think would be helpful in moving forward with finding a job you would like?

    Yh I guess it's over and done with in the past now. I'm not sure what job though @Ed_
  • Laura_tigger82Laura_tigger82 Moderator Posts: 5,299 Part of The Furniture
    The positive thing is that you know what area of work you would like to work in @FordRanger! I have identified this as a strength of yours :)

    @FordRanger Yeaaah the 208, that's it!! Honestly wish I'd got one tbh I don't like how crap the engine seems to be for the 108, but it's not like I need to go fast anywhere so eh it's okay. Would you say the corsa or 208 would be a better choice?

    @leyla26 I think it depends what year, if its the 2015 model corsa that's probably better than the 208 of the year but if its the current model of 208 compared to the current corsa the peugoet is probably better

    @FordRanger He'll probably go for around a 2015 one tbh Ford so I will pass on your feedback! Knowing him he'll end up getting something completely different from like 2006 lmao

    @FordRanger - Sorry, just to clarify, I meant that you know you want to do something with cars (or similar!). You also seem really knowledgeable and like talking about cars. Even if you don't know the specific role you want, this is a positive start so well done you :)

    @Amy22 - Glad you are looking forward to the next few festive days. Hopefully, you can start on the projects that you have been doing. Would you like to share more with us about these projects? We are intrigued if you would like to share more with us about this :)

    One of the little kids pushed their coach into the foam pit. To be fair, it was going to happen.

    I couldn't help but laugh. I'm supposed to pretend to be professional around the kids but it's hard.
