    I'm officially a member of staff now and I start the Monday after half term :T :j :T. The job is only seven hours a week, but it's a foot in the door and a bit of regular money coming in. I'm really pleased :D.

    They didn't ask any of the questions I'd prepared for so I had to think on my feet, but I must have given good answers. They said I had positive feedback from the other staff after my trial yesterday :T.

    I've got a week to recover now which I feel like I need as I'm exhausted :eek:. It was sheer adrenalin that got me though today!

  • Of course you did. How could you ever have doubted yourself. Schools can’t take risks even with volunteers. If you weren’t up to what was needed, they would have had to get rid. You can do this and, like others have said, it can lead to bigger and better things. DH must be relieved too.
