    Love that you're enjoying work and that you still managed to upload a video for us to enjoy - thank you! I started a new job this week so am enjoying listening to your experience so far.

    Great vlog. Really glad that the job is going well so far. The low spend check-in is great, definitely making me think about what I spend.

    I've been having porridge a lot too, years ago I used to do it with a sprinkle of salt on top and milk, but now I do it with a little spoonful of peanut butter (which I'm training myself to like) and some fruit.

      Sounds great! I might have to give that a go!

    Totally understand giving 100% at work! Self scan can be a killer, so remember to pace yourself. I need to get hold of that checkout girl book, I bet it's good.
    I agree with Veronica Henry, I just can't get into with her books either. An old favourite of mine is A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff, have you read it? It's about a woman who works in a vintage clothes shop, I think you'd enjoy it.
    I'm enjoying your monthly spend reports, it just shows you how all the little expenses add up. Trust me, you'll never get out of picking up a few things in your way out of work, the temptation is too great 🤣

      I don't think I have read that! I'll have to put it on my list! 😊

    Wonderful to hear you’re enjoying your job . If you can survive it in this heat you gonna be fine!
    Your home magazine is good, I prefer home style & style at home . I’m gonna check out The simple things magazine.
    The dark descent book looks intriguing.
    I make my porridge with milk & add nutmeg & cinnamon, helps my stomach..

      Thank you, I usually prefer style at home and I’d have had that if they had it! Xx

    Honestly huge pet peeve of mine is when some people will glance at a job and say it must be an "easy" job, all depends on the work ethic of the person. I really struggle to not give 100% of myself to my work as well, trying to get better at that since I do often tell myself off and remind myself"minimum wage, minimum effort"! 😅
    Porridge tip! My favorite is cooking it with a mushed up banana and topping with cinnamon or brown sugar :o) Has a very banana bread-y taste to it! Maybe experiment with overnight oats? I know some people aren't keen on the cold oat sludge feeling of them but if you get a good recipe they can be great! Sending love x

      Thank you, Im not a fan of overnight oats and this week has been far too hot for porridge! I do like banana bread though so that sounds like something I could try! Minimum wage, minimum effort ... I need to remember that :P

    I glad you are enjoying your job. Hopefully as your body gets into a rutine with it, it will find a manageable level.
