Thanks for the messages of support guys.
I’ve started a new summer job. It’s at quite a well-reknown jam factory (I’ve seen their jam for sale as far afield as Denmark, Italy and even Australia!). It is a nice place to work, the people are mostly lovely… but I am watching fruit go past on a conveyor belt for 8 hours (at least) a day solid, for minimum wage. We can’t even sit down. Oh yeah, and we’re having a heat wave here at the moment and it’s even hotter inside the factory! So it hasn’t stopped me ringing around local vet surgeries to ask if they need a receptionist/general dogsbody (excuse the pun) for the summer! Wish me luck, I’m not sure I can stand anymore berries!!
Still, there’s nothing like a job such as this one to give you a good grounding in life…
