Thank you all for your comments. I feel a little better now. :) Replying to Joybird, I'd love to work in a secretarial or office assistant related post, but there are so few vacancies for that kind of work where I live.
Plus, my maths is TERRIBLE. I got a D at GCSE level, and I've never gone near maths since then.
I'm a very creative person though. I love painting, writing and photography. I keep daydreaming about setting up as a freelance illustrator, but then the realities of having little work make me think what's the point?
I know somebody who has done temping of various kinds and she got about the same grade in Maths as you did, if not lower.
Maybe try using your skills in a different way e.g. volunteering to run an art/photography class or helping out with art and similar things at a school/care home?
As for employment, I think that you'd be be better off as in admine/secretarial work, or even a mystery shopper.
Your English is clearly very good and you're creative. Making assumptions here, I would guess that being creative comes with being observant about things; and you could role-play a conventional customer on a mission.
Maths skills don't matter that much in that field, you can do it when you like (to some extent) and you get paid to shop/go to the cinema/elsewhere [As long as you fulfill the brief of each job).
If you do decide to do it, the first few shops are pretty nerve-wracking. It might not make you super-wealthy, but it'd provide some income boost, give you new skills and test out your current ones.
IIN I'm making dumb mistakes at work but getting unfairly bullied?
