    Enjoy your new job ska lover. In a few days it will feel familiar and comfortable. Short term pain (nerves) for long term gain. This is you taking charge of your future and well being. I'm on a 20 month journey to retirement and I'm trying to plan well and prepare for a lower income but with lots more time - hooray.
    Jackie - another request for your recipes please. Thank you so much

    Good luck for tomorrow, ska - and don’t worry, you’ll be fine! Everyone is nervous at the start of a new job, but just remember that there is no such thing as a stupid question (you won't be expected to know everything on Day One) and just remember to smile :)
