Your probably not interested but here goes

I've been unemployed for a few years now after working part time after separating from my daughters dad and ill health meant I couldn't work. Been sending out CVs and getting nothing back, so I got sent on a work programme from the job centre (they pick or you find your own, got to be something good for the community) so I went into a local charity shop (never been in one in my life) and they said yes

So I started in August, fell down the stairs in September needed time off due to my injuries went back to my 30 hrs a week and love it, met some lovely new friends (staff about 30) it's a big store in a great position and we sell furniture and electricas (cookers etc)

We was all told at the beginning by the job centre that we wouldn't be taken on as these are voluntary positions, the manager called me into her office last week and said they would like to try and keep me so would like to train me as an assistant manager, I've now got the keys to the shop and safe and I'm the assistant manager two weeks today as a test, I'm so chuffed with myself I've really worked hard for this chance and it's paid off pooing my pants about being left in charge though

Awwwww that's brilliant news Aimee I'm really pleased for you .....well done

that's wonderful Aimee  well done girl 

Well done, Aims, that's great news.

Well done you 

Well done Aimee - that is fantastic 

Hang on.... they're letting you near COOKERS???

Seriously though - that's brilliant Aims.  Good luck, and I'm sure you'll do great, they obviously saw your potential

I'm interested...!  Congratulations on the promotion - you deserve it  

 

I know bloody electricals and ME

Ooooh yeah..!    That's bluddy hilarious when you think about it 

There's no assistant manager job at my place at the moment (but she's trying to get pregnant, I'm praying : so if I pass I might have to travel , life really does start at 40

hang on...we've had 28, 30...just over 30 and now 40...you got there eventually  

 life really does start at 40

Does it..?

I didn't just miss the boat ....it sunk !!!

 

       


Well you knew the lines would give me up eventually nobody believes me at work that I'm 40 "walks out looking smug"

nobody believes I'm 84 either, some of us just have good skin 

well done Aims   but step away from the white goods if you know what's good for you 

 

I think the people I work with need to visit specsavers

I never go anywhere else with my family discount
