Hiya lads. Looking for ANY advice to get me out of this nightmare I’m living in. 10 weeks ago I got sciatica. What started as me struggling to get my socks on and it painful when getting out of bed escalated into me not being able to drive the van, sit comfortably or work. Then what happened was...

Wow an actual friendly reply. Much appreciated pal. Thank you

Naa not at all mate. Wouldn’t dream of it. Just putting a few questions out there see what’s what. Shitty housing association job would do me fine

Yeah kept my hand in now and then mainly skimming. Am guessing you think I should stick to welding? £11 p/h would you?

Eh if you were lucky was a podger

Yeah was a while ago but have been working as a welder for the last 20 years and the hourly rate is just dog s**t. Wtf was I thinking? Anyway am actually a qualified plasterer so fook it. Time to apply for cscs and see what’s changed

Guys gotta start somewhere. Last time I was plastering skim was mixed with a stick

No sand and cement

Awe really appreciate your input. Thank you

Just what says in the title. Am trying to get back into it after being away from the game for a few years. Also wondering if am a bit too old to pick up the tools again at 47 . f**k it though gotta take a chance. Hi all btw

Do doubt they dish them out freely once you've completed a dogshit learn to plaster within 6 weeks course. Ridiculous!

That's just stupid. It was 1990 for fucks sake. Although it seems it was a waste of time whatever the year was

Indentured papers?

Hi all. I completed my City & Guilds apprenticeship many moons ago but what with it being an ever changing world I honestly aint got a clue where I stand when it comes to applying for a C.S.C.S card? Searching online it says I need to have NVQ's? I'm assuming this is an updated version of City...

Shame its come to this but id rather work than sit on my arse all day. 2 year city & guilds qualified. Hardworking and can either help spread or mix and pick up some tips?
