2017

EDUCATION

NOV/DEC17

I went to LearnDirect in Croydon where I completed doing 3 courses: Warehouse/Retail/Health &Social Care; each course lasted approximately 2 weeks long; and, was paid for by Streatham Job Centre. I did attend, at least, one job interview at Thornton Heath Tesco as a stock item counter but I failed.

2018/JAN The next time I went to visit LearnDirect in Croydon to sign up to do either Customer Service/Hospitality...they refused to let me sign up for any further courses. They said I already had Business Admin Level 1 on my CV. Customer Service was already a part of courses I'd done Warehouse/Retail. Hospitality, was too large a jump. So, I came away feeling very deeply disappointed.

2017 KEEP FIT/BOXING/MARTIAL ARTS

I haven't been doing too much keep fit, I'm afraid. In particular, running is out due to both legs suffering from severe Achilles Tendonitis.

I stopped going to Krav Maga; which was £60.00 per month because I couldn't afford it. The last time I paid; I did not even turn up for the whole of that month! I think, that must have been OCT/NOV17?

For 2 months NOV/DEC 2017 I joined Croydon Boxing Club. The cost was £26.00 monthly ( discount: JSA/Job Seekers Allowance). I didn't do any sparring there; just, once, with a fellow 'amateur' outside of the ring; instead, it was mostly skipping/shadow boxing/speedball/heavy bags/(no weights)/-etc. Eventually, I had to stop paying the DDR due to my having far too many other financial commitments.

2018/JAN So far, I haven't signed up to do any 'regular' keep fit; but, I'm looking around at different places here and there. In particular, I'm using both the Internet/and, such things as MeetUp app. To search to find different clubs.

2018 NEW BIKE
070218 I haven't had a bike since last year Nov17. Today, I went and got a new bike costing £136.00 from Brixton Halfords, Apollo Guru model (the cheapest bike they had available). I also brought £50 worth of Bike Repair cover, meaning labour will be FRE; but, I still have to pay for any needed parts.
