Good evening everyone!
Finally, after 9 weeks of being unemployed, I have been offered a new job at my local garden center. I cannot tell you how relieved I am and feel so happy. I was so worried about being unemployed for so long, I had no income, no self-esteem and felt very deflated. This was all due to my diabetes diagnosis. I had to surrender my class 2 license and resign from my coach driving. Since then, it was really awful.
I start my new job on Tuesday 8am and I can't wait!!! I have got my dignity and self-respect back.... Thank goodness for that!
 
Thank you to everyone for all your kind comments! 😉😉

Brilliant, what a nice environment to work in. I always said if I had my time again I would love to be a gardener in a historic kitchen garden.

Fantastic news. Worked in a garden centre myself in the past. You deserve that break. 🙂
