Had a paranoid moment and thought is my boss trying to get rid of me.
Put that paranoia behind you Boddy - it ain't doing you any good! Have you ever thought your boss suggested it because you were the best woman for the job??? And enjoy the extra money and the sky TV!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Toots and Soappie. The clients there are not aggressive. They just have different issues. It will take some getting used to as they tell you to sit down and make you coffee. When I finished the shift I did there the clients said they would ask for me again. They also told me that they watch a film in the afternoon and Im to watch it with them. I do know Im going to a pantomime with them.
I think it will give me a break from the stress at my normal place of work.0
