Yes was thinking of you on your first day

Your welcome

My wife's been housewife for almost that long.
Our son will be 25 this July and she worked about 1/2 after he was born as that job was winding down. Her mother came to take care of our son during the day.
(I get along great with my mother-in-law - she only speaks German and I only speak English).
She worked part time part of one tax season, a bit of volunteer work at church another time. Internet and housework during the day for her these days.

*smiles*

I hope it went well.

thanks, T, yesterday it did. very well, thankyou. today i was left to open up and get things running as it was the manageress' day off, but the area manageress came in to oversee my paperwork/banking. it all went off without a hitch and shop-takings up. but damn, my feet ache not through being on them any longer than usual - the all day thing's not new - but from having to wear more formal shoes instead of my nice comfies. gonna have to invest in some clever footwear when i get paid.

Glad it is going well. When I have project work where I'm on my feet more than normal, at the end of the day I soak mine in Epsom salts and then lay with them propped up, higher than my heart, for about 20 minutes. The next day, no pain.

no worries, sweetheart. right now my own time on here's strictly limited (15 minutes this morning if i'm to get in nice and early and get some stock sorted and priced ready for opening. yesterday only one of the volunteers turned up in the afternoon - the two morning ones and an afternoon one did no-shows so we were down on stock onto the shop floor.

i'll give it a week and see how i stand, time-wise. i might have to give up being mod here if i don't have the time to commit. it needs someone with that time to give to the forum.

manyana, annie

thanks, guys! i'm still around just not so much atm. anyway, we got caught up on yesterday's jobs and are in front nicely for tomorrow. just as well, it's the end of year stock take!

 

[UnderYourSpell]

What sort of stock have you got? With you having volunteers sounds like a charity shop ...... I used to work for Age Concern

yep, it's a charity shop and i used to work for Help the Aged/Age Concern too, up to a year and a bit back. my new manager is my old one from there, but we're not working for AC now. were you a volunteer, too, or paid staff?

the stock's mostly clothing, some household and ornaments...quite nice stuff, though. and better stock than we were getting at the other shop i just left here it's mainly M&S, Next, River Island and better, though there are some of the primark/asda clothes as well. we do the odd bit of electricals and small furniture, nothing big.

I was a Volunteer although I did apply to be managaress in the Sally Army shop for which I was highly qualified but didn't get it! so I boycotted them instead

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Oh funny story from my time at Age Concern, a load of us ladies from the shop plus those that went out to folks homes went to strip night, Chippendales sort of thing. But several of the strippers got stuck on the motorway and we ermmmm sort of rioted! We cornered the manager and threatened to debag him and his minder was a woman midget!! They called the police and all these police cars and black marias rolled up, I managed to get to a phone box and Ron came and rescued us, he was having a fit as loads of women crammed into his car for a fast getaway! The next week in the local rag there was a huge headline 'Women riot and go on the rampage at strip night'! Ron said I wasn't safe to be let out alone after that!
