I booked myself for an Arts Council meeting for this evening, however several challenges presented themselves to me.
The first was that although it was advertised in Lincoln, the meeting is actually 20 miles away, in Sleaford.
As I don't drive, this means relying on the train.
5.30 – 7.30p.m. is a very inconvenient time of the day for a parent.
Any earlier and I could've booked the kids into Kids Club, otherwise they'd be at school.
With all my Uni friends moved away, I now have a shortage of babysitters. The one person I asked let me down.
So I couldn't make it anyway.
It would've been extremely useful for my proposal to gain some knowledge of applying for funding.
This is a disappointing setback, but I decided to add it to my blog so that others can appreciate how many additional challenges I face as a single parent trying to find my way.
