Sooo, today was the day I went back volunteering! I was so excited and nervous all at the same time. I have volunteered many places and it has been about a year and a bit since I last volunteered. I went through all the health & safety stuff, my god there was a lot of reading to do! Then I got thrown into the deep end and was asked to do the window display, I was not expecting it. First of all I did sparkley and was half way through and the manager suggested that sparkle sells at Christmas but it hasn't been selling as no one is going to weddings and Christmas parties, I felt a little silly but glad she mentioned it! So it ended up a grey, orangey red and black window with interesting bric and brac and shoes. I was definitely a little out of practise, my brain was working so hard trying to remember all the advice previous managers have given me. I am glad of all the advice I have had from Loraine, Lucia, Jess, Amanda, Karen & Marc as well as other volunteers. I would have got pictures but didn't feel it was my best and it was my first day so didn't feel it was appropriate, dunno why.
I am feeling so tired though, I had my mum visiting Thursday to Sunday and I am also doing 5km a day for WWF. I gotta tell you, I am very tired. I am feeling so glad to be getting back into volunteering and it is really nice that it's with an autism charity which is very close to my heart. Not gonna lie though, I was thinking about Pepper the whole time and was thinking "is she behaving for Tom" Apparently she slept most of the time and when I got back she was so happy to see me and I was so happy to see her and Tom. It felt so strange to be at work though, after having about a year off and being in a different shop and different area felt strange, good and exciting all at the same time.
We're having a nice chilled night, Tom is playing his game, Pepper is chilling on the sofa and I am writing this. My family is awesome :)
Anyway gonna head off now. Byeeeee
