0:00:03 > 0:00:07Milford Haven on the Pembrokeshire coast, and this is The Mount Estate.
0:00:07 > 0:00:12For the last year, we've been following the lives of some of the people who live here.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16It's typical of the council estates which were built during the '60s and '70s.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19They all followed an American design, which meant roads
0:00:19 > 0:00:24were kept to perimeters, and homes were facing shared areas with no individual gardens.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32This week - Simone Johnson is back on The Mount
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as her hopes of a career in teaching are dashed.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I'm not as energetic as I used to be.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41I'm not as full of life and outgoing as I used to be.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I've got very sluggish.
0:00:43 > 0:00:4666-year-old Freda has her last wish granted.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50One of her wishes before she died was to go out on bikes.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55And Tasha is finding life on the estate increasingly difficult.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59I asked them to fix my front door, and they haven't, yet again.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Millions of pounds of public money has been spent
0:01:11 > 0:01:13regenerating this part of the world.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17But a smart yachting marina and tourist retail complex
0:01:17 > 0:01:21has brought few job opportunities to the people who live on The Mount.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25DOG BARKS
0:01:25 > 0:01:28After six years of living away from home,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Simone is back at her mother's.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Here you are, Mum, I'll just show you these.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- What?- Cards and stuff I got from the school.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41You'll have to pass them, because she's sat on my foot.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43She has a masters degree in English
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and had hoped to become a secondary school teacher,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48but she's failed her probationary teaching year.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51'Dear Miss Johnson, thank you for teaching me English.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54'You taught me so much, and I really enjoyed the lessons.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57'Hope you have a lovely time in Wales and take care.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00'You'll be sorely missed this side of the border!'
0:02:00 > 0:02:04I want to do childcare and working with children,
0:02:04 > 0:02:09but then children throwing Sellotape holders across the room... problems going on.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Can you try for junior school age or something?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14That's what I'm thinking, I was looking at that.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17But to try and do that transition from secondary to primary,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21they were saying for every primary school job, there's 10 teachers.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- They're over-staffed, because no-one wants to go into secondary.- Yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'm disappointed, because I miss the kids.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Like, I miss them so, so much.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I do miss it and I miss more the independence
0:02:35 > 0:02:37and the fact I had to move out of my house.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I had to leave my boyfriend who's now 11 hours away.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I'm going to get to see him twice a month.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Hey, now. Enough.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Now I'm back on the dole on £53 a week.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52We've worked out that's...what was it? A fifth.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56What I get in a month when you add up the dole, it's a fifth of what I was earning.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02I've downsized everything. I've gone from my house to a room.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Simone misses her boyfriend, Pete, who lives more than 10 hours away in Cumbria.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13That was the first time we spent together at the university ball.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16His birthday when I took him to Manchester
0:03:16 > 0:03:19to see Wigan win the finals of the rugby.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Even though we've only been together a year,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25it's nice to see how much we have changed so much.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28And I think it's one of the things that's going to hit me the most
0:03:28 > 0:03:33is because he's not here, and he's just, like, my best friend.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37And not having him here has been a massive impact on my life.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Even though it's only been two weeks and I'm sure I'll get used to it,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44but, yeah, it's very hard.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48It'll be nice to see him on Monday, and I think...he's going to get a big hug.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Simone has joined her mum and grandmother
0:03:55 > 0:03:59at a coffee morning at Hilton House.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- ..gone ten rounds.- That is gross! - I know.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Hilton House is a council-owned complex on the estate
0:04:06 > 0:04:10which provides sheltered accommodation for older people.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30The local MP here is Stephen Crabb, a Conservative.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34He holds a surgery at the resource centre on The Mount twice a year.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Today, only one person from The Mount has come to see Stephen.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44The family you see here are from Milford.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Thank you very much. - Bye-bye. Bye, take care.- Bye.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51The outside perception is that it might be an estate full
0:04:51 > 0:04:56of single mums, or single young people with alcohol or drug abuse problems.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58The truth is this is a mixed community.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We have people here who are working full-time.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04You get the whole mixed bag of issues that you might expect
0:05:04 > 0:05:08in any working-class community.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I grew up in council housing in the next town along in Haverfordwest.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17I grew up in a single parent home, so when I see people from those kind of backgrounds at my surgery,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I have a little bit of understanding of where they're coming from.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23After the surgery, centre manager Kathy Grey
0:05:23 > 0:05:27talks to Stephen about the problems she sees a lot of here.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Yeah, no, community spirit here is still like it is. It's hard now.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37The 16-year-olds to 18 are a major problem. They don't fix into a box.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41They can't claim unemployment benefit until they're 18.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45The expectation is they're in some sort of educational training, if not in work.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47But nobody will pay for them.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51They're not getting any money at all, and the family unit's not getting any money,
0:05:51 > 0:05:56that's why you've got so many having to try and find a home.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00The family says they can't afford to keep them for two years for nothing.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- There's no interim, is there? - No.- It's crazy.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10There are two blocks of small flats on the estate,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13which the council usually allocate to single tenants.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Sometimes these are people with unsettled and troubled lives.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21They may not stay long.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24No problem, I'll show you the flat, no problem.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Bradley has just moved into one of the flats.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32This is what they expect an 18-year-old to live in.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41This is the kitchen.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Then you have the bedrooms in The Mount Estate.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46That's it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51My mum couldn't afford to keep me there,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54because I got four other little brothers living with me.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56So I had to move out somewhere.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I went in a hostel then and stayed there for two months.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I got this place on The Mount Estate, and it was the only place I could get.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I get benefits of about £110 every two weeks.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I'm in college at the moment studying carpentry.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17I've just done my NVQ 1 and just qualifying now for my NVQ 2.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Hopefully, when I qualify for my NVQ 3,
0:07:19 > 0:07:25I should be a qualified carpenter. I can see me doing really well in the future.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I don't see me living here for very long.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Not at all. I want to make something out of my life.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I don't want to be just, you know...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I want to get an apprenticeship and make my family proud.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I want to join the Army, hopefully.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Hopefully, I want to go in the Welsh Guards.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46So, hopefully, I'll do that in the future.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54My dad's in jail, yeah. For a long time.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I get woke up at three o'clock in the morning,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00people drinking upstairs, downstairs.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03It's not great. You've just got to put up with it, you know.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07My mum's not happy with me living here. No.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09She wants me to come back home.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Just the fact that it was Larch Road, Mount Estate.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I just said to her I'm not coming back home,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18because I want to be independent, I want to do everything myself.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I don't want to rely on my mum for the rest of my life.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Bradley isn't the only one on The Mount trying to turn his life around.
0:08:42 > 0:08:4422-year-old Tasha is also struggling
0:08:44 > 0:08:48to cope with difficult circumstances.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53This is the hallway. The front door.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56We lock it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06This... Ah! ..is a window. Things falling over.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Boarded up.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14I lived in the hostel for a year-and-a-half.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And then they offered me a flat in The Mount.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I looked at it, and it looked OK.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I thought, yeah, I'll decorate it, like, it'll be OK.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Got a nice patio for my son.
0:09:25 > 0:09:31And I took it and tried to do it up.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35That's the little boy's room, but it's a mess.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41The first year-and-a-half was OK.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It was sorted, it was quite tidy in here.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49But after people coming in, and they're meant to be your friends.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Meant to be your friends. And they don't care.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54When you ask them to go,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57they don't bother going, because they're all wrecked up
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and they're all arguing with you.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Then you have to go mad and go crazy at them
0:10:01 > 0:10:03and just hit them or something.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05They smash windows, they litter everywhere.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09My son's three.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I can't have him back now because of all the stuff that goes round here.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I'm on the sick now because of all the stuff that goes on
0:10:17 > 0:10:20with my ex-partner and my son, I'm on the sick.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21I'm depressed.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I'm really not well, like, and every time I phone the police,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29they arrest me, because I get crazy, I want someone to move me off here.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I've been to the doctor several times.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35I've got support workers and stuff, and I'm going to get off here, like.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I want to live in my own house with my son
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and be happy, but no.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02It's several weeks since Simone moved back,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06and despite applying for all sorts of jobs, she's still unemployed.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11I've got so much stuff to sort out. I got to do my CVs and everything.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I've got to meet this woman next week
0:11:13 > 0:11:16to be able to sit down and create one.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I don't really know what I'm doing with it at all.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I do feel very alone when he's not around and I said the other day,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28he's kind of like my best friend.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32And I don't feel as though I know many people down here any more.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Even though, obviously, I've got my mum, things haven't been easy.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I'm like eating stuff that I wouldn't normally eat.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I'm not really full of fruit and veg like I normally would be.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I'm not as energetic as I used to be.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51I'm not as full of life and outgoing as I used to be,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I've kind of got very sluggish.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57And it's starting to take a toll on my weight, which obviously
0:11:57 > 0:12:01sets me back into anxiety and worrying and panicking.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Yeah, I kind of expected it a little bit later on,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08but I can feel The Mount starting to hit back on me.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's starting to change my lifestyle in a way
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I don't really want it to be,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and I'm not quite sure how to get out of that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Trina moved onto the estate two years ago when she was pregnant.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Her mother also lives in Milford Haven.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32..on the phone to you.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37All right, then, Mummy. I'll talk to you soon.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41I didn't realise I was pregnant for four months.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44As soon as I found out, I moved straight into the hostel
0:12:44 > 0:12:46and then got this place.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49When I found out I was pregnant,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I told him, he tried getting back with me,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54and I was like, no, I don't want to.
0:12:54 > 0:13:00Basically, so... He's run away, he's run to London.
0:13:01 > 0:13:08I won't let her call him Dad... because a part-time dad is a no dad.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13She doesn't know who he is. She calls me Dad sometimes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I did struggle at first, but I had my mum helping me.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22But now it's just a walk in the park.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27We have a routine, we get up, we have breakfast, she has a bath first,
0:13:27 > 0:13:32I get her dressed, and that's basically all we do all day.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34She's part of my routine now.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38When I make my dinners, I make two, or one and a dot.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Always make sure she's got everything first.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46But then, once I make sure she's got everything, I'm left with nothing!
0:13:46 > 0:13:53That's the way. Got to suffer the consequences once you've made them!
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Hi.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Hiya.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I started off with absolutely nothing in here,
0:14:01 > 0:14:05just a bed by here and a TV.
0:14:05 > 0:14:11And then, my mother knew people and knew what situation I was in
0:14:11 > 0:14:12and helped me out.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Trina's mother, Tracy,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18runs a charity called Patch at a local church.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Families referred here are given free vouchers which they can exchange
0:14:22 > 0:14:26for food, clothes and household goods.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It was quite shocking, actually, to find out that we've had
0:14:31 > 0:14:34well over 10% of our clients are from The Mount.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38But we did start at Milford and we've expanded
0:14:38 > 0:14:41to the whole of Pembrokeshire, so that may be one of the reasons why.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44The charity is staffed by volunteers.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It offers five-day food parcels to people
0:14:49 > 0:14:51who have no other means of feeding themselves.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I'll just settle for that, that's all right.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00You can have more than that.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Just take whatever you need.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Tom lives on The Mount, and his life has hit a rough spot.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Honestly, we get given so much that it's no hassle at all.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13There's three oil refineries right next to us.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'm a pipe fitter, 20 years in the trade, and just can't get anything.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17My last job was in Holland.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Had to leave the country just for three months for some work.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27We just went to see if we could get our...well, my partner's working tax sorted out,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32because it's all been stopped since she started this job.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Well, it's been stopped since I actually moved in with her
0:15:35 > 0:15:38and we started claiming as a joint couple.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40So we've had nothing to live on for the last five weeks.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I shouldn't be, but I'm fussy!
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's put us in a terrible position.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50We've been digging up potatoes out of the garden that aren't ready.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52You know, things like that,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55just going round to friends, asking for this and that.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57It's embarrassing, really. Coming here...
0:15:57 > 0:16:00you don't want to be doing that when you're used to working.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06- All right, thanks very much.- Bye! - Cheers, see you later.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I've had a blister on my toe, and half my skin's come off!
0:16:32 > 0:16:36So, I'm just like... It's really sore!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Simone's boyfriend, Pete, has made the 10-hour trip from Cumbria
0:16:44 > 0:16:47to spend a few days with her.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53It's nothing to eat, it's just a plaster.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Please don't step on my toe. Well, apart from the toe,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58things are going quite well!
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It's hardly falling off, Simone!
0:17:02 > 0:17:06This is what you get for doing sport and things together as a couple.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Someone gets injured!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12We went for a game of squash and we'd already gone through
0:17:12 > 0:17:15the whole rigmarole this morning that this one's all the sporty person
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and I thought he'd get too competitive.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- All good.- Yes.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Still looking for jobs, but obviously starting to try and get up your way.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Obviously, trying to look anywhere where there's going to be
0:17:31 > 0:17:35a big intake of jobs, so Cardiff, Manchester, Chester.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Hopefully, something will come up. Fingers crossed.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42If not, we've got the weather down here, so it's fine!
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Make the most of the summer. - Wait till Christmas.- Yes!
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Then it'll be Christmas and it'll be "I want to go now. I want to move."
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Get snowed in down here.- Yes.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08All too soon, Pete's visit is over.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15And Simone is left to carry on the thankless task of trying to find a job.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24For Tasha, things are starting to improve.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28But she's waiting for the council to finish the repairs to her flat.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31They fixed the back door the other day.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38They were meant to fix my front door but they haven't. Yet again.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Then, Tasha spots a council van parked nearby.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Excuse me, what house are you doing? - Sorry?- What house are you doing?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- I've finished. - Are you doing my front door?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I'm a plumber, not a carpenter.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04My sink in the bathroom is blocked.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- Can you unplug it?- I can do, if you want.- Thank you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- There you go.- Thank you.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Ta-ra.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37With the yard swept and the sink unblocked,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Tasha can now join her boyfriend, watching TV.
0:19:40 > 0:19:46Some months later, she found a job and now works part-time.
0:20:02 > 0:20:0666-year-old Freda is losing her fight with cancer.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09One of her last wishes was to ride a motorbike.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I used to be a biker before I joined the Army.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18And the wife's brother used to be a biker as well.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21So we all like bikes.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24And one of her wishes was, before she died, was to go out on bikes.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28She couldn't get on the back of a motorbike, so we got a trike.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Right, OK?- We'll go for a sleep now.
0:20:32 > 0:20:38- She's tired now.- I'm not surprised. It's that vehicle.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Come on. OK?
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Freda's family are there in force to support their mum.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51She was give six to nine months to live, then she was given two weeks,
0:20:51 > 0:20:56and now they've said this will be the last weekend.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Very sad, but it's nice to see a big smile on her face.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Do you want to come indoors before you collapse here?
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- Let's get you in and have a nice cup of tea.- Lovely to have met you.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20- I enjoyed it.- It was beautiful. - You're welcome.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'm glad you enjoyed it.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27It was the first thing she asked for, wasn't it?
0:21:27 > 0:21:32- Cup of tea?- Thank you very much.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Freda and her husband, Ken, moved to The Mount five years ago.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40When I first moved here, I was a bit apprehensive.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43But the people are so nice round here.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46There is parts where it's a bit rougher,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49but this area, I've had no problem at all.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Everybody knows everybody. It's a nice little knit community.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I don't feel frightened at all, or threatened.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05You get one or two drunks, but most of the time, they'll talk to you.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09If you see somebody coming up with a hoodie, like, down in London,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12you think, what are you going to do next?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16But up here, you usually say, "Hello, how are you going?"
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Jane's daughter, Simone, still has no job.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31And Jane is wondering what the future might hold for her.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35"Follow-up call from B for money news." That's Simone's.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39I wonder who B is.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Simone!- Yes. - The bottom of your star sign says,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47"Follow-up call from B for money news."
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Do you know anyone with the letter B? - No.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Right.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Just reading my sister's. It's a bit of a laugh.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01"Host a sparkling get-together." Yeah, right(!)
0:23:03 > 0:23:06She couldn't organise one in a brewery!
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Oh, dear Lord!
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Simone, Sian's idea of a get-together
0:23:15 > 0:23:19is throwing a couple of sausages on the barbie.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Smoking!
0:23:24 > 0:23:28But Sian IS holding a party, as predicted by her horoscope.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32They're ready to eat.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Should be a barmaid. Get a job up the Horse and Jockey, love.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Yeah, the diet's going really well(!)
0:23:42 > 0:23:44No hotdogs(!)
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Freda passed away a week after the bike ride.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Good family.- Oh, yes.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Freda had a great sense of humour.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42She liked a laugh.
0:24:55 > 0:25:02The fact there was laughter at this funeral, and that's so important,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06because this lady, I think, loved the sound of laughter.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10And you've shared that laughter with everyone here today.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13We've also shared our sadness.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,
0:25:19 > 0:25:20dust to dust.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Trusting in the infinite mercy of God
0:25:23 > 0:25:27and the victory of Christ, our Lord.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I miss her like mad.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Time...
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I wouldn't say so much at night, it's during the day, it's so quiet.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46It's why I leave the radio on.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49And I'm thinking of getting a dog now. Again.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50That's about it.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I definitely won't move anywhere.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I'm here till the day I die... cos she's already booked a grave for me!
0:26:02 > 0:26:04But that's...that's life, isn't it?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Simone is still looking for work
0:26:18 > 0:26:22and she's sent off dozens off application forms.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26I had an interview come through, and it said...
0:26:26 > 0:26:31It was with a really top company. And it would have been absolutely fantastic.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33But... Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38It turned out that it was unpaid. And for six months.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Unpaid, living in London. It just wasn't happening.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I couldn't ask my boyfriend to give up his job to support me
0:26:44 > 0:26:49in something that I might not even get a job out of at the end, cos it was an internship.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54It just seemed as though the fact that cos it's such a big company,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57they can just take on people as volunteers,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01and it's no loss of money to them.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05So...yeah. Nothing great. A bit of a letdown.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14It's nice being back with family, but there's nothing down here.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I've had one of the bosses down here who I know so well,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20and he apologised to me, because he couldn't give me a job,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23cos he had to take on the boss's granddaughter.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29Even my friend, who owns a bar, she couldn't even take me on and she's having to hire her family,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33and the only reason they're working there is they're unpaid.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39So the sooner I get away from here and the sooner I move back...
0:27:39 > 0:27:43and even if it's just into a house with Pete until I can get something,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46it'd be better than anything this place is ever going to offer.
