My work put me through forklift training six years ago and a refresher course last year for a…read morecounterbalance forklift. The training consisted of watching a health and safety dvd and a short multiple choice test and the practical test on the third day and practical experience was on a three days. The practical test involved lifting and stacking pallets and going through a course made of pallets standing on their sides to form a right and left turn, the object was to drive through with pallets on the forks set them down and reverse back through then drive through and bring them back on the forks. Two people I work with failed and the examiner tried his hardest to help them but they both hadn't driven anything before not even a car and I think nerves got the better of them, in fairness to the examiner he made the right decision as you need to be safe above anything else. The forklift license covers you anywhere you work though my work being sneaky claimed it doesn't, as they paid for it they won't give me it. My advice is pay for any training you get for any job and keep hold of whatever license or qualifications you gain. The training was carried out at my work and we were unloading lorries during training which is a good thing as you'd be unloading lorries when you'd have your license, at least your getting advice as your learning.

Wowee baby! For me, there are salons for everyday maintenance treatments which stop me looking…read moreactually scary (we're talking taming the monobrow and filing down the trotters) and then there are spas like Aura. Aura is one of the most luxe spas I have been to and I loved every minute of it. I had booked a Luxury Spa Pedicure which turned out to be 45 minutes and £40 pounds worth of heaven on earth. Even though I was there for a relatively short treatment (you can spend the whole day there, what bliss), I was shown to the very swish changing room and invited to put on one of those thick perfectly white bath robes that people embarrass themselves by stealing from five star hotels. I was then shown to the pedicure chair which was attached to a footbath which had, I kid you not, flowers floating in it. I then spent 10 minutes with my feet in delish smelling hot water, flicking through celeb mags and generally congratulating myself on my good fortune. Next my feet were anointed with some very expensive lotion and then my nails were filed and polished to perfection. I had somewhere else to be afterwards but had I had time I could have spent as long a s I wanted in the lounge area sipping tea or fruit juice and reading more glossies. Aura is not a cheap place to while away the hours but boy is it worth it. They do gift vouchers so start perfecting the art of dropping hints!
