    5 weeks due to being there 5 years. 

    I’ll be doing all sorts, mainly warehouse and picking orders. They said they’ve been without a picker for 2 months so happy to wait an extra 5 weeks for me. I said to him on the phone about the delivery vans I said I’m fine to drive one as I’m confident enough and I’ve not crashed and then said yet and he laughed 😂

  • Congratulations! That's great news :)  Good luck with the resignation, they may even let you leave early if things are tight at you current company so there could be some negotiation to be done.

    Thanks! Hmm looking unlikely, which is fine. But when I gave my letter they didn’t say anything about the notice

    Evening all,

    so I told OH about me leaving my job and starting a new one and he thinks it’s a silly idea but never mind as it’s me that has to work there not him. So we disagree to agree :lol:

    I am going down euro car parts on Friday to order my uniform, hand my right to work documents in and set up my working shifts and sort over time out. I also text him the other day to let him know I handed my notice in and I can start after September 2nd and he asked I start on September 5th, no messing around. :smile:

    Just came home from visiting my nephew he’s nearly 15 weeks old already! Not much else going on today, OH turn to cook food so I’m going to shower and pour a glass of Yellow Tail Rose 🍷
