I don't have anything written on the pages (Except for the details page) I guess I've got what I needSavvy_Sue said:
Yes. 'Right to work' is a BIG thing for employers: a British passport with no restrictions in it should do the trick!Riley_G said:National Insurance number? Is that like my SSN? I think I have one for the UK, is it the code of 2 letters, numbers and a letter?0 -
Riley, its a real compliment. Actually, there is a degree course in creative writing. Yours posts are written exquisitively. I'm travelling along with you on your journey. Stick at it, it's really early days. I could be reading you've got 'young entrepeneur of the year' with your cheesecake business very soon. Good luck.Riley_G said:

Thank you. I am not making anything up. If anything I've cut out all the bits where I've been that home sick I've cried, Where I have been on Americans website looking at tickets to go back because at times I feel my boyfriends life would be better without me.sallysaver said:

I feel for you and I know you have left a really vibrant city having been a visitor to NY on many occasions. You really couldn't have come to the UK at a worse time, pandemic aside, we are going into Winter and our winter weather/dark nights in the UK is usually nothing to write home about. Manchester is well known for its rainfall and that in itself is depressing. You know very few people, you are currently without employment but you have a boyfriend who sounds as though he loves you to bits, you are getting to know his family and the cheesecake has made a great impression at the American diner. All positives, stick at it, I am sure you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

You know you can put particular posters on 'ignore', don't you? I'd strongly recommend that.Riley_G said:Don't worry I'm not going to post anymore.
Feel free to pat yourself on the back Somewhere I felt welcome you and your friends have pushed me away. You must be so proud.
I wouldn't care even if I thought you were making it up: somewhere, sometime, there's going to be a really homesick person looking for help and support here, and they might stumble across your thread and find our responses helpful.Signature removed for peace of mind6
