Unsuccessful at interview... So pleased!

[Case]

I was kidding myself, I'm not able to hold down a regular job.

But thanks for all your kind wishes. Instead, I shall focus on my hand designed and printed children's tshirts , and other crafts.

Here's one I made earlier!!

[allanah]

No no don't let any self doubt creep in! But I love the babygrow! Wish I knew someone with a baby , I would have bought one xxxxxx

[Case]

Thanks Allanah,

I've several very happy customers , with time the orders will grow! Plus the babies, and then they'll need a larger size!!

[allanah in reply to Case]

U should do onesies!

[miss]

Cleaver you !!! Me i am useless with a needle xxx

[lorann]

Good for you, very clever idea! Cute graphics and babies do grow rapidly, needing more and bigger ( we in USA call them ) onesies :_) Keep the mind and hands active!!! Best of good luck xxx

Lovely idea,it will help you and give you something to do. It can grow into something bigger and better for you and you can do it at your own pace.If you feel ill from the pain of ra you don't have to do anything and you can pick it up again another day unlike a job where you have to go everyday despite how your feeling. They are really lovely and your very clever.xxxx

They are so cute, you definitely have talent and as Sylvi said you can work at your own pace. I think with RA and careers you do have to think outside the box. I would like to try beauty therapy and set up a side line business. I'm quite well at the mo but I know that may change. I currently work with adults with learning disabilities and I love the people I work with but there are physical elements to the job. I'm also a deputy manager so have to manage in the absence of the manager which I have done so in the last month and it has been extremely busy and people forget I have RA to manage too and just keep piling jobs onto me. I would have to jump up and down to remind them and then you feel like a marter - I can't win sometimes Again as Sylvi said you have to go into work even on a difficult day. I think if you've found something you enjoy doing without as much pressure, that is brilliant. x

Dear everyone

Thank you to you all for such lovely responses and votes of confidence.

It is the way forward for me, and I'm very excited, I'm taking control as opposed to Ra dictating that I'm not well enough for work today / this week / this month. Help me to avoid those awful Atos / job centre meetings!

[Case]

Ps everyone, I also do tshirts for children, all original designs! So, if you're lost for Christmas ideas let me know. £6 each plus p&p.

My apologies if I've flouted an advertising condition, won't do it again!

What a lovely idea! You're very talented! I'm thinking of doing something from home for the very same reasons. If I feel fine but I'm wideawake at 3am I can crack on and if I'm neither use nor ornament at 9am it won't matter. Working from home is the way forward when you have something like this xx
