Default When Things Like This Happen, You Know It's The Right Decision

I am hopping around my lounge with excitement. I have been really worried about getting a job when i go back as i have been away so long.
A good friend of mine, who i helped out many years ago and gave HER a job, has now returned the favour!!!! Yippeeee

I emailed her to tell the the news about coming home and said i needed a job but had no idea where to start. Not only is she in charge of hiring and firing where she works, but has told me i have a choice of 3 different jobs to choose from and to take my pick...OMG !

This is a great week. Another new grandchild and a job to go back to before ive left Sydney.

Aha! Yes has to be a 3rd doesnt there. Ok, theres 21 million on offer on Saturdays lotto. I'll buy a ticket today ..lol

I knew helping that woman would pay off one day. I had to wait a while but she's really come up trumps. Just goes to show, do people a good turn instead of a bad one and you'll be repaid, even if you do have to wait 13yrs...

Thanks guys.

Yes, my other daughter gave birth to a healthy little girl this week. Her name is Alexis, 7lb 13oz

My other little grandaughter now 3 weeks old has started treatment for her club feet. She had plaster casts put on her legs yesterday. Surgeons are optimistic with a lot of work, couple of operations and physio she should be able to walk just like other kids eventually, although one leg may be thinner than the other. Poor wee mite wasnt pleased with the casts being put on though!!
