To be bloody proud of myself!

[HateSummer]

I haven't worked in about 7 years and recently managed to get a job close to my field in the NHS where I know I can work my way up again.

My family are shit and don't care...not even a "good luck" or "well done".., but I'm so proud of myself. I have 3 kids, and managed to negotiate hours that suit me and my family life. I have so many opportunities ahead of me now.

Just finished my first full week and feel great! I never thought I'd be capable of working again or if anyone would hire "someone like me".

Ah thank you for all your kind words. I know this is only online but it really helps reading the lovely comments to boost my confidence.

I had loads of excellent advice on here about negotiating hours so I couldn't have done it without MN. Thanks to you all

Congrats!

Well done OP, massive achievement

My husband has a family that wouldn't give a compliment if it killed them and he's so driven and ambitious inspite of them...Well done you!! Go for it!!

Sending you lots of hugs (which you should of got from your family) and wishing you good luck in your job!
You've done really well and I hope you get everything you wish for xx

Well done!

Well done you should be proud

Congratulations
