Congratulations 🎊 👏
Delighted that you're so happy 😃

But I did think this thread was about a bread roll & a very nice dinner lady gave you the last one 🍞 😁

Well done you !

My mum was a dinner lady many many years ago I always got extra chips

Clymene · 21/07/2023 12:41

Well done! I'm not one but my friend is and she really enjoys the job most of the time

Franklin2000 · 21/07/2023 12:41

Congratulations! My mum was made redundant last year and got a job as a dinner lady plus kitchen assistant a few months ago. She loves it! The children are great, she really enjoys it. Good luck in your new job op

I haven't, but it sounds perfect for you, well done!!!

catsnhats11 · 21/07/2023 13:00

I remember your previous post, congratulations!!

UnsungShero · 21/07/2023 13:02

Well done!

I grew up in a country where school meals weren’t a thing.

What’s involved in being a Dinner Lady? Is it supervising children or do you get to cook and prepare food too?

Maddy70 · 21/07/2023 13:03

Congratulations. It's so difficult to get these kind of jobs. Well done

PrincessHoneysuckle · 21/07/2023 13:03

Yes not cooking the dinners,supervising the children.Been doing it 4 yrs now.

longtompot · 21/07/2023 13:07

Congratulations @Woodward23 🎉 I'm not a dinner lady but my neighbour is and she loves it! Hope you enjoy it too. I still remember a dinner lady from my primary school who was the most lovely lady. Gave us all hugs (I don't think that's allowed nowadays).

tattygrl · 21/07/2023 13:13

Congratulations! What a lovely turn of events for you Flowers

Hugs are most definitely allowed in our school

LarkLane · 21/07/2023 13:27

I'm so pleased that you got this job, well done!

GoingToBeLessRubbishAtLife · 21/07/2023 13:31

Dinner ladies/men can be the ones who spend a lot of time with children who are vulnerable, the teachers and TAs are busy teaching but the dinner ladies can have that space to see how the children interact with each other and what playtime issues they have.

Toothiepegg · 21/07/2023 13:33

Really pleased that you got the job. 💐
