I have been doing flooring since I was 17 years old. I've been in the trade for over 40 years. After experiencing arthritis and pains in my leg, I had to leave this field of work as it was too intensive. I would like to get into delivery driving so that I don't have to deliver heavy loads. I'm thinking about doing jobs where I'll be delivering medicines for pharmacies.
It's been hard financially since I've been out of work, so I'm keen to get back to working as soon as possible. I was struggling financially and became at risk of losing my home. As I've been working from such a young age, I'm also not used to having so much time to spare.
In the next 2 years, I hope to be settled and back in work. It's a very simple ambition, but the simple things are important to me. I love my dogs and taking them for walks, so hope we can all benefit from a better life in the future.
