Well here goes...
I have decide to put pen to paper and get writing my first blog!!!
( I found it easier to write using pen and paper than typing first, although my first and second pen ran out).
Firstly i want to say Thank you for visiting my page and secondly welcome to my world.
I would like to introduce myself to you, my name is Nicola Clapham i am a 48 year old/young woman from Swansea. I am a mother to 3 handsome young men, no I am not biased.
I recently got engaged to the best man ever, and I seriously mean that, I am a very lucky - but really he is the lucky one.
What is the reason why i am here? below is a little or big bit of work history for you to see what kind of person i am, i done a lots of different jobs in between jobs - bar maid, cleaner, painter decorator, jack of all trades as they say.
Work history
I have worked from the age of 13. My first job was working for my mothers friend who had a fruit and vegetable stall in kwiksave gorseinon where i worked until the age of 18, where i left to work in a factory making car clutch cables for toyota and honda. then i worked in a local garage as a sales assistant, after my first was born, then i worked in a pupil referral unit which i supported young children with challenging behaviours. I then went to university and studied a BA Hons in childhood studies and social inclusion and worked part time in next ltd as sales assistant and had my 2 youngest sons. I then became proprietor of a childrens day nursery, which i had for 5 years. Unfortunately we closed, devastated was an understatement (that's another story) then i worked in the local gym as a receptionist, i then decided i missed working with children and therefore done agency working in schools, which ended me up in the first school i worked in, it felt as if my life had done a full circle.
So i applied for a job in a children's secure home, which i loved but the shifts were really hard work with my children so i applied for an assistant managers job working in a house for adults with complex disabilities, i finished there because again i wasn't seeing my children due to the long hours and shifts, plus i was working extra hours due to staff shortages. so i decided i wanted an office job working monday to friday, no weekends, no evening, definitely no more nights or shifts.
I got offered a job as an admin assistant which i enjoyed for 11 months - i was laid off in May!
So as you can see i have had a variety of jobs but not all have worked out for me, however i have met some fabulous people along the who will be friends for life, plus experience in a lot of sectors and i have definitely learnt i can turn my hand to anything.
I always remember someone saying "Nicola, every man's job is hard, until you learn it and do it". this i believe to be so true especially in my experience.
Now i have decided to turn that hand in to digital marketing. On social media platforms i seen loads of people talking about it and affiliate marketing, which i never even knew about 2 weeks ago.
I decided to research it and see what all the fuss was about and give it ago... and here i am.
I wont say anymore i leave it for now, but please come back and i will be share my journey with you.
I would appreciate it if you would follow and share me, because apparently this is the only way i will gain new followers and that brings traffic to my page and will raise awareness.
This could work or not who knows!
God loves a trier as they say,
follow me and see.
Thanks for reading
Over and Out
