I've got a new job!

I'm a single parent and had two jobs (until one fell through recently, not my fault mind) to help cover bills since becoming single. But I just got a new job and the pay rise is enough that I can comfortably cover the bills and won't need to consider a second job!!

Have told friends and family who are pleased but I'm not sure they understand quite how amazing it feels. I've run out of people to tell but the last couple of years have been so unbelievably hard and I feel so proud of myself. It feels like things might be turning a corner.

I am unable to do anything much to celebrate this weekend due to being a single parent, so thought I'd post and tell you all instead 😅

That's amazing OP. So so chuffed for you 🥳🥳🥳. You should be so proud of yourself. I'm not a single parent but I have sooooo much respect for single parents. So glad your one job can cover bills etc, here's hoping it makes your and DC life a lot easier. And I also hope you'll get some sort of enjoyment or job satisfaction from your new job 😍💐

Congratulations!

I was a single parent and when I got my first well paid job I cried with relief. The world felt like it had finally shifted in my favour.

Very well done! Congratulations again!
