General Blogging

Good morning everybody.

Over the last 2 or 3 weeks, I have become super busy.

For the New Year, I will be paying more attention to our family blog. It is relatively new, so we are getting it as close to perfect as possible.

I will also be paying more attention to Bigo, a live streaming app, where I will be helping out my amazing team to earn money. If you would like to find out more about Bigo, please get in touch straight away.

Meanwhile, my aim for this job search blog is to post at least once per day, if I can.

Update

Bigo had too much drama, people who think they know everything or think they are better than everybody else. I have since come off of and uninstalled Bigo, and have decided to go back to tiktok

Important Information for Employment

I have noticed that companies expect me to travel further afield for jobs that I am unable to get to. For example, GU postcodes.

I am giving the following important information to employers / potential employers to help them find what I am actually looking for. This will save them and myself time and energy.

I want to keep building bridges, rather than companies burning the bridges.

So, without a further adeau, here’s the important information.

Types of work I am looking for:

  • Construction (housing preferred, but commercial accepted).

Start date

I will be available from Tuesday 04 April 2023.

After this date, I will be looking for employment as soon as possible, but MUST have a minimum of 24 hours warning.

Locations

  • Crawley (essential)

Hours

Day work are highly preferred, but may consider night work at the right wage.

Pay

  • £13+ per hour (long term construction – 1 year or more).
  • £15+ per hour (short term construction – 1 year or less).

More Information

For more information, check out my Key Competencies, Job Interview Questions and previous experience.

For previous experience, I have a lot of blogging to catch up on, so please bear with me on getting this onto my blog ~ Thank you.

PLEASE NOTE – If you only have short term work, please let me know in advance (minimum of 2 weeks notice), so I can fit as much construction work in as possible. Thank you.

[QUESTION] What is your favourite quote?

My favourite quote is actually one of my own:

Real friends stick with you. Fake friends stab you in the back and run.

We have all encountered people claiming to be friends and aren’t.

You may have noticed that they always want something, but they are never there for you.

[QUESTION] How did you meet your significant other?

My wife and I met in various charity shops where we were volunteering.

We did lose touch a fair amount, until we bumped into each other every so often.

[QUESTION] What’s a skill you consider basic, that most people don’t actually know how to do?

Communication for sure.

I’ve noticed over the years that most people don’t know how to communicate with others, considering other people’s feelings. A lot of the time, listening and understanding others is also a problem.

If people communicated better, listened better, understood better, and considered other people’s feelings, the world would be a much better place.

[QUESTION] What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?

I’m a massive gamer on my phone, but the app that takes up most of my screen time has been Party in my Dorm (PIMD).

I currently have 4 accounts, 2 are super active, another is semi-active, and another is completely inactive.

I do sort of feel bad, as I’m not tidying up the flat as much as I should, and my wife questions me on it.

However, since my mother passed away early July 2026, I’ve paid more attention to her funeral, over the flat tidying and gaming. But I have been doing what I can to tidy up.

A while ago, Rabia (my wife) and I started a family blog where we publish blog posts about tidying the flat, amongst other family things. We don’t post as often as we’d like, but we’re definitely trying our very best.

[QUESTION] What is the best purchase you have ever made?

The best purchase I have ever made was 3 folders worth of stamps from Australia, Malaysia and States, and New Zealand for £30 each.

The folder with Malaysia and States is worth well over £1,000 alone. Though, selling it would be between 10% and 20% catalogue value.

So, I could sell for between £100 and £200, maybe a little more
