Thank you guys for all your congrats and support, you mean a lot to me.
Well, first shift went well and they've asked me to do an extra 1/2 hour every day this week so this week I'll have done 7 1/2 hours and can expect my first pay on the 29th!! Never having worked in a kitchen (apart from my own, lol) I was a little bit worried but everyone seems really nice and I keep telling myself I'd have been silly to pass up this opportunity - my little boy goes to this school and its about a 5 min walk from my house. The following "small things" are all going to make a BIG difference too
1 no heating or electricity being used while Im not here
2 lots of extra walking up and down to school - help with the weightloss (and depression)
3 extra pennies in our pockets (esp as hubbys hours have now gone down slightly since starting shifts)
Thank you all once again, your support and encouragement really means a lot and Im grateful to call you all my friends :AGoodreads 2025 Challenge :16/75
