At busy times we pay someone to wrap, make us coffee, brush floors, cut flowers, write out message cards etc etc - someone with a good standard of spelling & clear, neat handwritting is a godsend. She is as useful to us as someone else filling orders as it speeds us up so much. You would be more than capable of doing all of these things. It is a good place to start and will get your foot in the door. If you show a good attitude & are keen I'm sure it wouldn't be long before you are learning much more.

I would think it is a good time to offer your services round florists as most florists would be looking for some extra help coming up to Christmas.

Hi Millie, I'm 40 in a few weeks and I'm at college doing C&G Floristry. I had to do 15 days work experience for my course, I did it at a local florist and had a ball, really loved it, when the owner needs me now she rings and I do a bit of paid work for her (which is better). I will still carry on working for free every now with them to keep my experience up, the boss is great and doesn't mind, I think she'd employ me properly but with my kids it's a bit difficult at the mo. Also, as happened to me, while your there doing the experience they can see if you have any potential for them.

Well I beat you all hands down. I am 55 full time paediatric nurse 40+ hrs a week learning floristry part time. Can we have 10 days in a week please .

Hi lavender - I am in Doncaster.

I am 'blooming' with confidence this week, passed 2 assessments with the same bunch of flowers, did a flat wrapped bouquet (pass) and then got a distinction for my basket! Used lovely aqua pink roses, dark burgundy chrysanths and dill (the dill looked fantastic). I skated out of college on Tuesday night - was on such a high.

Julia

well done
