    Goodness you are amazing! You have been through so much and you keep pushing on. I can't imagine at 64 having to learn all the things you've had to learn and take those tests and become a security guard! It's great seeing another video from you. Hopefully when you're 6 months is up you can move to a location that's closer to your job where the roof doesn't leak. Best of luck to you!

    The only reason I mentioned driving agency because I was an agency driver for 8 years and whilst I lived in a car etc when the driving agency used to ring I asked what the work was and I could say yes or no to the work and it's a great job for people living vanlife as they already drive vans etc but when the driving agency used to ring which was usually 5 days a week I would drive from my overnight park up and get a shower at the services for free and get fast food and some juice and be at the customers premises within 45 mins but very flexible offgrid remote job ideal for vanlife but for anyone doing agency work etc I used to base my bills on a 3 day week because some days there isn't any work but I used to class 4 days a week as Saturday overtime and 5 day a week as Sunday double time etc because if you need to work 5 days you'll struggle if there is only 3 days work etc and people on agency work or zero hours will struggle to guarantee they can pay rent etc - hope my experience helps someone

      Especially when you think over 25,000 illegal people have come across on dinghy’s and are being catered for by the government.
      They won’t be worrying over mortgages, fuel, gas, electric, and food prices going up.
      They go first in the NHS queues to be treated, and housing goes to them before us Brits.
      The world has gone mad

      As far as I’m concerned, the policy that this government has brought in is the reason why women of a certain have not been able to retire. This sort of work should be let to the young.
      As for people, that’s coming that’s for them to deal with.
