After the closure of my Carpet Right store, I found myself out of work. Luckily and to my amazement, I managed to land myself a traineeship as a trainee automatic gate engineer.

The problem is that I am to earn a trainee wage equal to £200 a week. £140 of this goes towards my house hold bills and so I am left with enough for food and travel.

During my probation I have been told that I must learn to drive as it is a requirement due to the nature of how far the company travels for work.

I cannot begin to express how much I love this job and my utmost fear of losing it simply as I cannot afford to better myself.

£1000 would pay for an intensive course in my area allowing me to swiftly get the licence I need.

As an extra, if anyone knows of a course running around Scotland that offers around 25hrs of tuition and then the test for less than £1000 please do let me know as it will help.

Thank you to all who read this ❤️
