Yes, I live in England and yes I am at my home!

 Yes, I live in England and yes I am at my home! 

When I am in Poland I am on vacation. I am in a country that has never allowed me to move out away from my toxic mother home who, ever since she started drinking, occupied my bed after a party, leaving me nothing to sleep on when I was coming back home at the age of 16th years old. Anyway, I heard mostly that "You are not at yourself home" because it was her home, not mine so I had nothing to say. One day, When she threw away ALL my stuff - clothes, cosmetics, toys, board games - Because it was supposed to be a punishment for disobedience. I returned home and had nothing, being 17 years old... So, I was taking nothing, because I had nothing, began to sleep anywhere, and later at a friend's house with the consent of her Mom and My Dad.

For many years I lived in Poland with my Mom and brother. In the meantime "We" moved to a smaller apartment when I was 17+ years old.  As there were three rooms, my mother said we couldn't afford it, so my mother and I moved to two, and my brother moved out with his wife and to her family.

I have always been told that when I will live at my home I will decide anything for myself. I've always been told that I don't live at my home, I live at my mother's, and she pays for it, so I don't have the rights I would have if I paid for the apartment, and if I live at my own place I can say and comment on anything. 

I turned 18 not long after the move.  I was going to high school at the time and in the first year of high school I let it go due to the fact that when I was already approaching my eighteenth birthday Mom told me that I was now paying for myself. I had to have money for clothes and food otherwise I had nothing to wear and nothing to eat. Mom was trying to charge me 20 cents for a piece of bread and as you already know, she was throwing away all my clothes earlier.

My brother helped me a lot during this time but he didn't live with us. My Dad and friends also helped me. so it was okay, let's say. Once I managed to find a casual contract job and was constantly getting more assignments through an employment agency I went back to school. My day looked like this; I would get up at 7:00 a.m. and drive to school for about 40 minutes, after school I would go to work and I would come home at 9:00 p.m. I did my homework while i was going by bus to and from school.

Mom said either pay or get the fuck out. She wouldn't show me the bills I was supposed to contribute to so I didn't know if the amount she was telling me to pay was a normal amount. So I didn't.

After finishing school, I couldn't find an apartment to rent that I could afford. I took extra jobs, At one point I had as many as 3 jobs at the same time just before I get out of Poland.

I really wanted to live alone. I no longer admitted to my mother how much I was earning, and I kept putting money away. I still had to buy my own food and clothes and I kept hearing that "You are not at yourself home". I had had enough, so I decided to leave for England after one longer 3 days party and quite spontaneously.

Today, I am proud to say that I am at my home here where I have all the things that I already had when I had a job, which 8 years ago I brought from Poland, and the rest I sent just after Mom threw them all together into the basement. The basement there is often flooded by water and there are rats cats and fleas. So here we come again, thanks, mom.

That wasn't been easy as The apartment I moved into was empty of everything I had to buy all by myself.

I was raising a child by myself during this time. Happy that I didn't have to move out and that no one was telling me to get the fuck out. I still live here, I still live here and it's very hard for me sometimes to explain to people who live in Poland and have their family home... Apparently, no one ever told them to get the fuck out. A home where no one has ever thrown anyone out in the middle of the night along with their belongings. Just like my Mom did to my brother when he came back to live with us after the divorce. And she was just so drunk one night. I wasn't there, I got a call from my brother that he was sitting in the park and had everything with him. When he entered the house in the middle of the night it was already packed.

Fortunately, I managed on the way home to persuade one of my friends who was renting an apartment so that my brother could live with him and not spend that night and many others in the park. 

I have a hard time explaining to people, that here I am at home. When I invite someone to my place it seems absurd to them that I say that. I am often asked why I will not return to Poland. I have often explained that I don't have things there and no place to stay... during the time as I usually did book a hotel in the past. I explained that I sent everything to my home in England. I was trying to explain that Since I left I had nowhere to go back And when I was there I had nowhere to live. 

Maybe someone will read this and understand, at least a little, that I live at my lovely home, and I visit Poland as the country where my father and my fiancé's family live. I don't talk to my mother anymore. I really tried to love her as she is. A few years ago I invited her to spend Christmas with us. I even managed to force her with my brother, who also came at the time, to not drink alcohol for 3 days. But then like crazy, she started making trips around the city in search of alcohol.

She would come home to me and leave bottles on the floor in the middle of the night, she was scaring my child with her behaviors. My son was 4.5 years old at the time, she told him when he cried that no one would love him because, according to her, he was behaving badly. That took me a long time to throw away that idea from my son's head. She said the same things to me in the past. This led to numerous arguments, and I returned to smoking cigarettes which I quit for two years. So Happy Christmas! And during her visit, she criticized everything I managed to get with my hard work. For her, my apartment was bad, ugly, cold, and uncomfortable. I, on the other hand, for my mother I was being stupid. For her my child was not polite in her opinion. My Mother smoked cigarettes and threw bottles around the house wronged by my presence, she told me at the airport that everything would have been better if the one person was not on this Christmas holiday. Apparently, my brother will host her next time. 

As far as I know, She still keeps telling strange and not true stories about me. After so many years of drinking alcohol everything is mixed up for her, I can hear these stories from other people. I used to correct her but now I don't want to anymore. She lives in her own world.

Nowadays a part of it... something positive? The upside is that I am not afraid. I am not afraid of living on the street, not having money, and not having anything to wear. I'm not afraid for those I help, that we can't cope because someone throws them out of the house, because they have to part. I don't worry when something doesn't go right because there are always opportunities, all you have to do is look for them. So if you are afraid of anything don't hesitate to come I will help you - maybe I have already been through this.

It's nicer in the basement...

 It's nicer in the basement...

I don't think I'll ever understand houses so big that they could house a family of 20 and only have one, two...well three tenants at most. And not happy ones, because they should have no reason to be. They are unhappy because they have been taught to live in these big houses full of abundance as if they were in a fucking museum. More than once, this has been the situation in a cramped room - in a room, in a kitchen, or even in a basement - we crowded in 10 people to be with each other when it was cold outside or raining. 

The small room was full of laughter, music, and positive vibes. There may not have been 50 dishes to choose from and 300 types of alcohol, but we had a

 

great time. Not many of my friends could live in a big house when they had families and earned anything. Maybe that's a good thing because many of them are happy with little or no money and still traveling the world. I grew up on a dirt estate in modest conditions. But I remember those days, the parties, lots of laughter and fun. Today, more than 10 years later, I am lucky enough to visit people who have succeeded. But they don't know how to enjoy it and it's a sad sight. Those manners of theirs were mostly feigned. A chilling silence because no one wants to come across as a fool, so they hardly speak at all. Strange giggles instead of playfulness and the lack of openness. Pushing children to behave who are clearly not allowed to be children. 

No running, no touching, no spilling, no squashing... What the fuck has happened to these people, I don't remember any of them wanting to live to old age in a fucking museum, let alone have their parents bring them up as coaches. I notice they say to respect what you have etc but come on, a piece of crayon on the floor is really bearable and a running child is rather in my opinion the greatest joy for a parent. Healthy, happy, and wonderful! But no, it's now fashionable to sit stiffly, apparently, and for goodness sake no running and laughing. I there preferred to get dirty, run in the mud and throw sling stones at the fence. I would run around the house all day long and thankfully no one admonished me or took away my joy of being a child. Today I take joy in every opportunity for freedom - because we are restricted at every turn. At work, on the street, etc. If you know what I mean. Home should be respected, but why shouldn't people have the right to play in it? What has happened is that this rigidity has spread like a plague and there is no trace of fun, just sullen faces, everyone has a stick up their arse (Polish saying), staring at a screen and overestimating the value of money. I'd rather go to a cramped kitchen with old friends than spend a boring evening in a museum without loud music and laughter.

I got tired of working from home so... I decided to go to a second job.

 You can make a molehill out of working from home, really. I always support, endorse, and recommend this kind of independence to everyone. I run meetings and courses to teach how to organize your time and spend your money wisely and with investment. But it's been more than three years since I decided to start my own business and I was feeling very tired.  

Not because I could have coffee at whatever hour I wanted and not because I was the one who decided what time I got out of bed. But still, since my previous job 'chased me out'... XD and I'm already explaining - I've never been chased out of a job, but in almost every job there comes a point when the music goes to turn off (literally), and soon afterward things start happening that are clearly a message from the world that I should leave because something else is already waiting for me elsewhere.  - The thing is, as soon as the radio station goes down, or the music license is taken away, or there is a change of management who don't like the music, etc. situations arise that push me away from the current work to the next one, even if I stubbornly want to stay, as in the case of the hotel where I used to work till I tear a tendon in my finger.

This is how, since 30 August 2019, when I swapped a job in a warehouse for a job for myself shortly after receiving my life coaching diploma, I have tried to function in a 'going forward' mode every day from 6 am until I was going to bed. I'm sure I got tired of it because I got to a point where the business was running itself, so to speak, and I became fixated on improving it and ran out of ideas.

I highly recommend this kind of refocusing, where we do something completely different so that we can refresh our thoughts a little bit and refocus with a fresh and not-tired outlook and thinking on the things we would still like to do. What exactly am I doing right now to be able to achieve this? Packaging biscuits! For one of the chain shops established over 100 years ago. And I make no secret of it, it helps.

But it hasn't been easy for me to find work, for most of the jobs I am overqualified and that's no small problem in the UK.

Overqualified jobseeker XD

What did I do? Of course, as is usual for me, I went on a CV writing course :) And I not only just re-educate myself enough by those smarter than myself (Yes, there still are some) I solved my problem as well. Because when I wrote my CV, I simply put all my courses, schools, and training courses in there, just like a normal person ( I guess but I am not). And then I was surprised that they didn't want to take me on to work in a bar or even a hotel, where I saw no problem in relaxing about something simpler than managing my own business.

 My future employers, however, saw many obstacles. Because let's be honest, all the courses and training I had taken were so that I could manage the company with confidence, and my future employer was looking at my HR background, 2 languages, diplomas, business management, etc. with concern for (I guess) their position or maybe something else. And he wasn't convinced during the interview whether he could offer me a job in the CHOSEN position.

I had to learn how to write ANOTHER KIND OF CV. That is, I had to learn how to write a CV in such a way that I would get the job I wanted, not one that matched my qualifications.

Logically my CV matched the position I was in but I didn't create my own company to improve someone else's. That is, according to my CV, the type of job I could have had was business developer, advertising manager or people manager, etc., and those were the types of jobs that companies who found my CV online were calling me with. At the same time, I also did a couple of courses in employment law - to be able to hire people to work for me. And that wasn't something my future employer wanted to see on the CV either, because as it turned out in this case, knowing the law was detrimental ;) Even during the interview.

I would like to point out that I have of course added CV writing after this course to my list of services as I could not fail to benefit from it. I am happy to say that my CV writing for clients has had the desired effect on me:

- A job as a cook for a guy who worked 7 years in a warehouse but always wanted to work as a cook.

And,

- A corporate job at Google for a guy who for the last few years has been jumping from job to job from warehouse to food delivery and so on.

So I can high-five myself! Let me know HERE if you need a CV - That's part of "Personal goals." services. And I'm off to pack my biscuits :)

P.S. To say that there are still people smarter than me is of course an obvious joke. For those who don't understand, it's about those who think I'm the smartest, because I'm not, but I have a lot of knowledge, and because I like to share it, it's sometimes not very well received.

I have got 2 options, how about you?

 I have two options... Either I will be pissed or happy 😉 .

I guess it wasn't always like that, because I remember when I was little I cried a lot. So I must have felt sad too, although those memories are kind of blurry. And as soon as I start digging into them e.g. during meditation I just start "roaring" and crying... For several days.... for no reason. (I guess that's why during meditation sometimes you need a human guide.) There is nothing more there than a little childish grief and sadness that pours out and has no end. I don't know what I'm looking for myself. Maybe it's meant to be this way.

I am 35 years old and today My life is ruled by two emotions, being furious and joyful. Both are uncontrolled, impetuous, and intertwined with each other. Interestingly, I can go from annoyance to laughter and vice versa very quickly. I don't know why or what has crowded out my other emotions. I do not
feel all emotions or not feel them such as long as those two. is anyone there who has the same?

As I do interested in the science of neuropsychology and psychology I do attach below some pieces of information about emotions and how they should be working.

One of the most common reasons that someone pursues therapy is to better understand and handle their emotions. A lot of adults are surprised by the revelation that, while they know their emotions on an intellectual level (i.e. they can name several emotions), they often struggle to identify their own emotions at the moment and know what to do with that information. Many of us can tend to overgeneralize that we feel “good” or “bad” and not get much more specific than that. The issue is, our emotions provide us A LOT of awesome, useful information about what is going on in our lives and we miss out on that when we do not label our emotions correctly. We stay “stuck” in emotions when we have not learned this information! If you identify as someone who doesn’t know their own emotional experience well, starting with the basics is the best way to begin the learning process. We have 5 basic emotions- they vary in intensity and in their subcategories there can be a wide range of other emotional descriptors (i.e. Anger can range from irritation to rage). In time, the more specific we can be about our emotions, typically the better. But we can ALWAYS revert to the 5 basic emotions if we are confused about our experience.

5 Emotions are something that we HAVE TO explain
to our kids when they are not able to handle any of this yet.

5 Emotions are something that we HAVE TO explain to our kids when they are not able to handle any of this yet. I did explain as I was learning everything about that during my high school education time. As I was learning to become a social worker or child psychologist. But only for 4 years as I was going to the UK soon after I finished school ( I needed money).

Anyway, at my home was only " Leave me alone" or " Shut up." time to explain doesn't exist. Following the standard emotional state our emotions are:
1) ANGER- Anger is your #1 signal that a boundary of yours has been violated! Something is happening in your life that you do not like and do not condone. Anger is a very protective emotion and is attempting to keep you safe. It is also a very activating emotion and may feel very physical in your body. You can harness that energy by putting it towards action in the form of setting or re-establishing your boundary for your own protection and self-respect.

Sometimes, all you need to do is take an action.
Let's talk about your and your company's needs during our meeting to sort it out.

2) SADNESS- While all our emotions connect us to others, sadness is particularly good at providing us connection, comfort, and assistance from others- BUT ONLY IF WE ALLOW IT TO BE SHARED. Sadness often attempts to help us recognize a loss, and think about what we want in life and is overall a very cathartic emotion for processing grief and loss. Sadness is a very self-validating emotion as well- when we have lost something important, it absolutely makes sense that we are sad- to deny that reality adds salt to a wound.
 3) GUILT- Guilt is an awesome emotion to recognize and use when it is justified. Unfortunately, a lot of us struggle with unjustified guilt. We must first assess that question: Do I deserve to feel guilty for something I have done? For example, if we feel guilty for setting a boundary with a loved one in a compassionate and fair way, that very well may be an example of unjustified guilt. If we feel guilty for ditching a friend at the last minute for other plans that sounded more enticing, that is likely important and justified guilt to feel. Guilt helps us “stay in the tribe”- feeling justified guilt helps us behave with others in a way that keeps us a part of important relationships and groups. Guilt also comes up for us when we have acted outside of our VALUES system- it is signaling to us that we need to get back on track with our values, which is critical to overall happiness! Going back to the example of ditching a friend, that guilt may be activated because one of your values is to be responsible or considerate. Guilt is urging you to take responsibility for your friend and to be more considerate of others in the future.
4) FEAR- Fear is an evolutionary emotion designed to also keep us safe. Similar to guilt, we have to check whether our fear is justified or unjustified (ie. Is there an actual danger we are facing). Justified fear can be signaling to us to slow down, better assess and plan a situation out, get out of danger’s way, or ask for help or comfort from others.
5) JOY- Joy is our last basic emotion! As some of you may have noticed, it is the only “positive” emotion on this list… but I challenge you to remember that all our emotions are GOOD! Joy tells us that we like our life the way it is at that moment and signals to us things, people, and aspects of ourselves that we appreciate. We may notice what is meaningful to us, aspects that we want to increase in our life, and/or what we want to work consciously to keep around! Joy is a respite emotion that helps us recharge for the inevitable challenges in life. We often don’t notice when we are joyful- we tend to notice when life is hard, and then go on “autopilot” when things are going well. Working to notice and reap the information associated with joy is so important!

Same situation, with different emotions.
You can be excited, and others can be scared or upset.

I hope this brief overview has been helpful and provided a window into how all our emotions can be good and helpful, even if they are uncomfortable or when you do not feel all of them ;). If you are interested to work more on your emotional recognition, I do recommend pursuing therapy to personalize this information to yourself and make it even more useful! Or alternatively, set up your goals and start making practical solutions alive with me as it is something that I am really good at. Book now

Your own miracles

 Our minds are amazing.🤩 All you have to do is repeat your thoughts consciously in your head and as if by magic you attract what you are thinking about. Don't you believe it? That's probably because you think it will work straight away.... Not so. It works in such a way that after some time, thats could be a year or two sometimes. When all the other puzzles appear and come together, when you carefully align them with your intentions, then what you are thinking about will appear. ✨

😭 After all, you can't put the whole picture together without the other puzzles. And when the vision appears it's as if you have the whole picture - they delight in it! ❤️A different puzzle will come along to create it.🧩

How?🤔 Different situations, people, signs in the sky will appear. It could be a chance acquaintance,👋 or maybe information 📰 turned up under your nose. Don't worry if something doesn't appear right away. Think about it intensely, without doubt, and everything you want will fall into place.✨✨✨✨

#miracles #dreaming #suspiciouslyeasyatraces #unpossibleexistence

Why do I believe this? Because it works! I remember exactly the first time I earned 10.000zl in one month, just as I had planned 3 years earlier following the book "Think and Grow Rich". The book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill inspired me many times, but this book was the first. Today, when I hear that someone has a dream, I know exactly what to do.

The next steps:

- goal

- plan

- strategy

- fighting problems along the way

They come so easily to me that I have decided to help others reach for the stars.

For me, it doesn't really matter what someone's dream is, because as I said above - impossible, it doesn't exist. However, it does matter about the law, your family and the current situation you are in.

That is why sometimes we have to change something about it before you can get what you want. You may not see it, you may not know how to change it.... and that is ok. This is my job, to kick in the door of opportunity and to open it. That's what I get paid for.

Don't know how to guess

 You might as well use Morse code to speak your thoughts.

I tried to get along with women for many years
and finally gave up...

    (google translate doesn't understand he/she things too) 

I tried to get along with women for many years and finally gave up when I realized why I couldn't understand them (I know it's weird because I'm a woman too) and messed up when talking to most of them - we have a completely different language.

As a child, I was left at home with my brother, who was seven years older, but when I grew up and could go out in the yard, I knew all of my brother's friends, who also partly raised me because they would come home to play with him while my mom was at work and I was with him. Since they were also supposed to watch over me in the backyard, they would sit near the sandbox and playground, and I would sit with them at their house when my brother wanted to visit them. Because of this, I didn't have many woman-friends, as I only had one throughout elementary school, but I had many male friends. Spending time with them, listening to conversations and life advice, more or less wise, shaped me into the superwoman I became. 

For a long time, I didn't know what it meant to have a complex, ( until I got pregnant and started talking to women more.) that you can look in the mirror and think you're fat when you're not. I also didn't understand the obsession with stuffing bras with toilet paper, worrying about bust size, leg length, etc. To be honest, I didn't even understand my woman friend's desire to please boys, because talking and spending time with them was always natural to me - no subtext.

I am the woman who understands men's thinking, their overtones, texts, picking up girls and thinking about them. As I mentioned, I've been around them since I was a kid, which meant they had no resistance to saying anything in front of me - they treated me like a little sister or, dude. and even the ones I met later learned that quickly. And so my language, vocabulary and behaviour for a long time were more like that of a boy, until puberty, when I acquired more girlish habits from not very numerous female friends of my man-friends (ironically). As a woman, I was small, gruff, with lots of information about what men think about women, what they expect, and what worries them and a lack of understanding of women's behaviour

Women talk differently and think differently.
 I convinced myself of this every time I tried to get along with one
.

Women talk differently and think differently. I convinced myself of this every time I tried to get along with one.

To this day I don't understand women's overtones, I hear that I'm rude when I speak plainly - in male terms. They look at me strangely when I talk to their boyfriends without bringing up any subject with them, and I can honestly say I do it without any subtext and probably even out of habit. and these women are looking for hidden intentions in what I say. And for a more obvious reason - the list of topics I have with guys, while I have almost none with women.

For that matter, I don't know how to do make-up - I only paint my eyelashes, I've never learned how to use makeup, eyeshadows, and certain foundations, powders, liners and other gadgets that maybe I should use soon as I'm approaching forty. The reason? None of my male friends painted themselves.

Until my pregnancy, I had no idea about children. Of course, being a very ambitious person and one who appreciates books, I learned everything in 6 months of my pregnancy that should be taught = before a child turn the age of 3. I knew the rest from school, from my internships at daycare centres and schools while studying to be a social worker. But, as for pregnancy, it was all a terrible surprise to me because, as you might guess, none of my male-friends had ever been pregnant or talked about it much.

I don't style my hair. I don't use hairspray or lotion and I can't get it right, always too much, always too little. I don't know how it is that even though hairdressers have taught me, I still can't do it.

I get offended. I take offence at any woman who thinks I know what she's thinking and what she means when she doesn't tell me and makes eyes like - "I'd fart but I'm ashamed" or exophthalmos that to me at first association would mean a heart attack or asthma. Good Lord, I don't know what "that kind of face" means. Seriously! I even thought recently the last time that I met "this person" I thought she just zone out during our conversation, and then someone told me that she was: "mad at me" during the conversation...  And someone on the side said she was mad.

Leave it to your friend, and leave the inhaling, exhaling,
and foot-stomping to yourself. What's the point of all this?

"You know what I mean..."  I won't know when you're telling me your story about your next best guy who pissed you off. And you disrespecting yourself, and making a difference. But I can explain to you what he is thinking and why he did it, unlike your behaviour, I understand his behaviour.

Dear women, speak plainly, stop wheezing, snorting, sighing and making those weird faces called "that face". ' I sympathize with men having to try to understand you. For that, dear men, I admit that I love you for that simplicity, divisibility of thought, logic and sense of humour. And Jesus Mary for the fact that you talk with a sense and to the point (most of it) just problem-plan-strategy-action, and for most circumstances, you have plenty of jokes and the world up to your ass when you need."

It's funny being a woman and not understanding most of it, luckily there are some exceptions.

Ps. Through hanging out with guys (I think) I have acquired another "annoying" quality - my brain shuts down when you don't talk about something concrete, something to think about or something to do with it - so if you say blablabla, and you don't say it for something, for a purpose, I don't listen but not maliciously, I don't control it. I just hear that you say, but I do not know what, because it blends together and mutes, moreover I can not do anything about it, because it happens by itself. Don't get mad at men's - it really happens on its own.

Let's compare flexible jobs available during the lock down 👇

JUST EAT, UBER OR DELIVEROO? Let's Compare

JUST EAT, UBER OR DELIVEROO?

While some of us tried to save money during the Lockdown, others gained money through the most popular companies at the time and even afterwards. So today I'd like to compare these three food delivery companies because I enjoyed watching the whole process from different perspectives. Even as a passenger.

If anyone knows me, they know that when I hear the phrase "flexible working", I high-five the person who is taking a part in it. 

AS I DO LOVE FLEXIBLE JOBS

Just eat, Uber eats and Deliveroo is all flexible, easy to get into and require nothing more than being organised and focusing on the directions we can take when delivering food. It's the best thing you can do if you're lucky enough to have self-esteem, time management skills and the ability to work independently. Plus a driving licence of course! I am happy to say that it is also the perfect job for introverts as you don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to.

Choosing between these three companies can be difficult, so I can briefly describe what you need in each to make your life easier - because that's my job, to make people's lives easier :)

What the registration process looks like at Just Eat, Uber and Deliveroo?

You apply online, and then you know if you will take part in the whole process. Because some areas are overloaded with current drivers, sometimes you have to wait while they free up space for you. 

Online application form:

• The UK driving licence for just eat and Deliveroo.
• The UK or European driving licence for Uber eats. 
• You will need to confirm your right to work and UK address by:
• Utility bills
• Bank statement
• Proof of address
• Identity document with photo
• Share code from settlement status is ok for "Just Eat" only.

The DBS check which you have to pass is free for Just Eat and Deliveroo. With Uber...hmmm... they say it's free but the lady at the post office says the cost of identity verification is £6. We tried to find out more about this but never received an answer.

Insurance is needed for any of that3 which is: Delivering Food for Rent and Rewards Insurance I cant do recommend which one you need to choose, but you can find 3 options: Monthly payments, annual payments or pay as you go - which is automatically linked to your application and a minimum £25 prepayment is required.

JUST EAT

If your DBS check is not older than 90 days you can just submit it, if not, the registration process from start to finish took us 8 days, whereas the DBS check took 5 days and it looks like the system checks all the documents. And then you wait 2 days for DPD to receive your just eat food bag.

Insurance: They just say you need insurance without any suggestions, so you will have to find it yourself.

Food bag: There are different types of bags available, but they are not free. You may get an unexpected jacket :) this is a surprise. Nice and comfortable, with two pockets.

Work: Sometimes ongoing work is available just when you open an app, but usually weekly shifts are available. You can choose or enter your availability in the app, which you need to do before each Wednesday. As you work you will see green areas to choose from and how busy they are. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to wait in line for your food or for the next customer during your shift.

App: The Just eat app drains your battery faster than the Deliveroo app.

Payments are weekly.

DELIVEROO

Once you can take part in the whole process and are not on a waiting list, the registration process also starts with a DBS check - there is no option to submit your details even if you have them. Once the DBS check is in progress, you can simply start waiting for your certificate, as soon as your insurance is confirmed.

Insurance: You can choose from 4 insurers that are suggested or that you choose yourself.

Food bag: All the items you need are free and you can choose a bag, jacket, magnetic stickers and more.

Work: You can take part in the delivery process as soon as you log into the app. It's simple. So pick your favourite area and go to work!

Payments: You can receive your payment within one day for an extra £0.50.

UBER EATS

You can't send a DBS check, and once you've sent your insurance we've waited to hear back from Sterling on identity verification for a while. 

Insurance: You will be offered one insurance company, but you can also use your favourite if you found one.

Food bag: When you are ready to start work, there is no information about where you can order a bag of food so same as with the insurance, use your searching skills.

Work: One app uses much more battery than the others. It doesn't show how much money your delivery is worth, but you can check that information after you've made it. You don't use an order number like in Deliveroo and just eat, just the name of the person who ordered the food. You can be involved in the delivery process as soon as you log into the app.

There is a little surprise: an app may ask you to confirm that "you is you" and will do recognise if you are trying...

to unlock an app while you are driving then, simply saying that you are not allowed to do that and you have to stop somewhere. 

I hope that's helpful! Take care!
