THANKS LADIES, BUT BE FAIR! I DON'T GET PAID - BUT I AM THEIR FOR THE EXPERIENCE SO ONE HAND WASHES THE OTHER. THEY KNOW THAT I AM A VERY GOOD WORKER AND ALWAYS GET STUCK IN - I DON'T HAVE TO BE ASKED - I JUST DO.

I HAVE EVEN VOLUNTEERED TO GO INTO THE SHOP ON THE 21ST AND 22ND OF DEC TO HELP THEM WITH THE XMAS (WHICH I DON'T HAVE TO DO) AND DID I MENTION THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I ARE GOING TO DISNEY LAND PARIS FOR 4 DAYS. I ONLY WORK PART TIME AT THE COUNCIL AND EVERY LITTLE PENNY HELPS. BEFORE I TOOK UP THE POST AT THIS SHOP IN AUGUST THE MANGER ALREADY KNEW THAT I DID MONTHLY FARMERS MARKETS SELLING FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS AND HANGING BASKETS AND CONTAINERS. SHE WAS OVERJOYED AS SHE SAID THAT SHE DOES NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT PLANTS AND I HAVE OFFERED TO DO SPRING AND SUMMER BASKETS FOR HER TO SELL AT THE SHOP NEXT YEAR.

LASTLY, BUT NOT LEAST 'I DON'T TELL LIE'S' I LIKE TO BE HONEST FROM THE START WITH PEOPLE. SO MY DAY OFF YESTERDAY WAS ALL ABOVE BOARD AND I DON;T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE FLORIST SHOP I DRIVE THERE 1 DAY A WEEK AND IT IS APPROX 40 TO 45MINS AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE - THAT COSTS ME!!!
