It will be warm in winter.

Must be hell in summer, though.

congrats

Thanks all. It should enable me to go to the spring meet.

Nice one, Bel.

if you get a third job you may even be able to fly

Thanks, Magwitch.

You mean, I'll grow wings, Pierce? Probably from drinking large amounts of this energy drink I would need to consume if I held down three jobs?

But you already have a third job- and a fulltime one at that. Let it not be said that raising one's children and caring for home and family isn't a fulltime job- and a very important one at that.

Mmm, you've just reminded me that my first Saturday job was in a little home bakery. Being in NI that meant gorgeous potato farls, hot off the griddle, slathered with butter, little indian breads made with yellow cornmeal, and big creamy meringues

There are 2 things you should know about the mad woman

1 she starts work at 5 am

You're absolutely right, Pc. I occurred to me after I had posted that I should have pointed out that I have three jobs - just that one of them doesn't earn me any money.

Bea, that sounds delicious.

Fortunately, I'm not into , and I've never been a fan of their buns, so I shouldn't gain too much weight by testing all their produce.

my first job was w*rking for a small bakery too. i was a schoolboy and every morning i would deliver rolls and stuff to some 50 families who were willing to pay for it. i liked it best on dry sunny summer mornings

I thought a would have preferred wet and stormy weather?

not when cycling round the city with an enormous bicycle fitted with giant baskets filled with bread what i sometimes had to schlepp up to the 5th floor

Yes, I know.

I used to deliver laundry for a while. Then I had a newspaper round on Sundays. The single items weren't too heavy, but at the start of the tour, the whole package was.

I just realised: I don't start tomorrow after work, but Wednesday.
Can you tell I was excited when I wrote this journal?

So be honest, were you employed because they heard about your Pumpernickel expertise?

Well done Bel - and heaven help them if you work the other employees as hard as you work us here.

congrats on the job

i took your advice and tried prime time, thank you what can i say about it

WOW!!!

i have now returned to the night and will crawl back under my rock

is it tchibo you are working for??

Wow, now I know someone who starts work earlier than I do! I'm just having my coffee and finishing getting ready for work at 5.

You did well, Taff.

It's not Tchibo, although I think they sell some Tchibo coffee, too.

PC, I won't have to start that early every day, which is OK by me.

Fizzy: don't know what you mean.
