Just that really. I lost my job because of covid and today I got a call saying I have a new one. Its only a picker/packer warehouse one and it's only until Christmas but the relief! I don't have anybody to share with so thought I'd bore you lovely lot.

Oh darling so sorry to hear about your DD. Thanks

Make sure you come back and tell how the first day went!! Boring inductions and health and safety talks probably 🙄

Well done OP!! Great news and sounds like one less thing off your mind. Sorry to read about your DD, I'm sure she would be very proud of you.Star

katie43210 · 11/09/2020 17:10

Thank you all, I will absolutely come and update. Ohhh health & safety. I was smiling earlier. My old job was at a chippy and she would sometimes come in on a quiet shift and eat her own bodyweight in chips, she would be very disappointed at the lack of food... Its hard but if I don't keep going I'll break. Really appreciate everyone's posts x

Hello @katie43210

VERY well done for bagging the new job! That is one ray of light for you and a great step in the right direction.

Sorry for the loss of your DD too, and I second an earlier poster who said she'd be proud of you- I would be too. 🤗 and 🌹for you.

This is great news especially during covid, well done you!

LittleGungHo · 12/09/2020 13:04

Congratulations! You will be brilliant.
No job is 'only a' own it. You work for it, you deserve it, take pride in working.

OddestSock · 12/09/2020 13:19

Well done, you certainly deserve this break. I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter, I can't imagine what you have been through xx

NoToast · 12/09/2020 14:25

Well done. I'm glad it's taken your money worries away and maybe they'll keep you on? Flowers

Schoolsout2 · 12/09/2020 14:29

That was really lucky! Hopefully it will tide you over and you can continue the job search. Well done 👍🏾

PeaceAndHarmoneeee · 12/09/2020 14:49

Well done! You did so well to get chosen as there's loads of people applying for every job that comes out- I work in recruitment- so you must have been brilliant!

Hope your first day is going really well @katie43210.

You’re job isn’t “just”, it’s an important one. It sounds like hard work that will need a lot of dedication and ability. Well done for getting it.

Very sorry to hear about your daughter, it sounds like you’ve had such a horrific time. I hope that this new job will help ease the financial stress somewhat.

Wishing you all the best. So sorry you lost your dear daughter Flowers

katie43210 · 14/09/2020 14:20

Hi everybody, just on a break. It's been good so far, mostly health and safety and finding out where everything is but the people all seem nice. I'm glad I started c25k with all the running round the warehouse! And I've bumped into an old friend who just reminded me it's my birthday this week and asked if I would like to do something at weekend, she's a single person household aswell so that'll be nice. Thanks for your wishes and thoughts everybody x
