    :hello: Morning All!

    Welcome Jilly! Can you use the Aldi trolleys? :D

    Losing - soooooo glad to hear you've told OH! Very proud of you too :) hope you're feeling better for it?

    Ted - my Shadow of the Wind arrived too - hence my being AWOL for the weekend :rotfl: and the rugby obviously! Good results for England and Wales :j

    Hows the potty training going Nat?

    Hope you have a lovely few days away Mamajojo!

    Apologies if I've missed anyone but hugs to those that need them, and to those that don't and here's to a peaceful half term!! xxx

    Hey guys,

    I've just had a phone call from a friend of mine that owns my local chip shop and he's offered me a job, just a couple of hours a week and he says it would really help him out if I could do it. I've said I'll go in tomorrow lunchtime and have a go - it's only two minutes from my house - and he does know about my "little problem" so it might be a good start, but I'm worried it'll be too big a jump from hovering! What do you guys think??

  • go for it True, lots of pluses to working in fish and chip shop
    1. money!!!
    2. free chips!
    3. its always nice and warm cos of the fryers.
    4. big counter and a fryer mostly between you and the great British public, no like you are
    in a big field, nice and cosy.
    5. your boss is a friend

    big step up from hovering though, but you are up for it and think how good you feel when you've done it?

    I LOVE that list of 5 pluses - how awesome - free chips :D:eek:!! Obviously the money would be really helpful too, and I do like the idea of the weirdo's not being able to get too close to me!

    I always thought my first steps would be taking the dog out or going to Mr T's - had no idea it would be working in a chip shop :rotfl:!! It feels really good to be asked too, oh I'm all excited!

    I hope I'll be just watching when I go in tomorrow! Its a family business and I know his daughter who I'll be in with tomorrow a little bit so I won't be surrounded by strangers which is good!

    Must be a day for good news, OH has got a second interview for the job he went for on Friday :j
